After a long pause from blogging, I’m excited to pick back up with a post about our new flat in Berlin! Oh yeah, did I mention we moved to Berlin?
Just a few weeks ago, Sven and I moved into this charming Berlin flat. It’s been nine months since I packed up all my belongings and shipped them from the US to Germany. Finally getting to unpack has felt a bit surreal, especially since my favorite person and I are building a home together.
I’ve had fun mixing calm Scandi vibes with the eclectic little touches collected during our travels.
It will take a bit of time before we’re completely settled in. We’re still missing a kitchen sink along with a few other key elements (our living room is still practically empty). Nevertheless, this bright little flat is already beginning to feel like home. I’ve fallen in love with the creaky wood floors and all-day sunlight – the natural airiness really helps in creating a sense of refreshment.
Some of you might be wandering how exactly we ended up in Berlin. After all, a few months back I announced that we would be moving to Bremen (in this post). To make a long story short, Sven got word that he would be spending the first ten months of his job traveling. So instead of moving to Bermen, we felt like Berlin would be a more interesting city to settle – at least for the time being.
We’re not sure how long we’ll be in Berlin, but it’s definitely the start of a new chapter. In the mean time, I’m looking forward to making a home out of this place, getting to know this new city, and sharing the journey with you all.
