Berlinica Blog
Author
I‘m a book author and a seasoned freelance journalist from Berlin, and I divide my time between New York and Berlin; my last book was "Manhattan Moments", a light-hearted short story collection about life in Manhattan’s West Side. My newest venture is Berlinica, a Berlin-themed multimedia publishing company that includes a blog.
So far, I have written seven books, among them one novel, “Hauptstadtroulette”, a romantic comedy about a love triangle set in Berlin after the wall came down. As a journalist, I cover media, entertainment and Broadway, Wall Street and the aftermath of 9-11. I write for Die ZEIT as well as regional papers, and Jüdische Allgemeine, Berlin‘s largest Jewish Newspaper. Before coming to New York, I was a metro editor at Der Tagesspiegel, covering real estate, architecture, and city planning.
My Berlin apartment is in Prenzlauer Berg, but I used to live in Kreuzberg and Schöneberg.

I’ve been combing through various blogs on some expat sites and you seemed like a good person to contact! My girlfriend and I are moving to Berlin this Fall and I was wondering if you could give us any tips on relocating as well as the prospects of finding work. I speak fluent German (I lived in Germany as a high schooler and have B.A. in German) and my girlfriend is learning. Do you have any advice?
