My Trip to Berlin
My first international trip of 2025 kicked off with Berlin, Germany. I have personally wanted to visit Berlin for a long time, My Grandad was a guard during World War II in the UK zone. The city has architecture that varies from the West and East, I have nothing but love for Berlin as a city and the kindness of those in the City. I consumed a lot of currywust and enjoyed visiting the museums and monuments.
When heading into Berlin I took note from travel vloggers like Steve Marsh, Wolters World and Planes, Trains, Everything as well as speaking to german individuals.
Germans appreciate privacy, With that reguard I decided not to photograph certain places out of respect. I would advise people to use common sense, For example the Holocaust memorial has rules such as walking slowly through it. I would also like to add an additonal rule which is don’t use it as a snapchat/social-media location. The memorial is for individuals who died during the Holocaust, show respect and put the camera away.
When I did take photographs I would always ensure that my camera was only pointing at objects/animals and not at people, I kept my camera facing downwards with the lens cap on to show that I was not capturing indvidiuals.
