Berlin Visit 2023

Berlin is my home town. I was born in Berlin and grew up in Berlin. I will always be a "Berliner". Even though I left the city when I was 20-ish years old, meaning that as of now, I have been away from Berlin almost as long as I have been part of it, I still feel like I will always be part of the city. I certainly try to visit every year. While it was more difficult to do during the pandemic, I finally made it during the summer time while being on a business trip in Frankfurt, and visited Berlin over the weekend. During this time, I was able to gather my dearest friends from Berlin, Max, Max, and Robert, and we met like it was during old times. Thank you guys!
