Hello,
My name is Elyas -- I've been a resident in Berlin for about 10 years. Currently in between Atlanta, USA and Berlin.
I studied philosophy as an undergrad at Davidson College, worked as Innovation Consultant for some time, and currently making a pivot into affordable housing and community development (with that caveat, would love to rent out my flat to you at a cheaper rate but unfortunately I need to cover monthly housing costs with that amount. Not profiting at all. If any, loosing some money)
Happy to host and give you local recommendations for exploring Berlin.
Elyas
