In times like this, travelling has become a true luxury, and my excitement couldn’t have been bigger to spend a few days in Berlin. It was a wonderful outbreak after being at home for most of the year. I was craving for new inspiration, impressions and adventures.
It was the first trip for years when I wasn’t sleeping on the plane. Being in the air has a very calming effect on me, and most of the time, I sleep before the plane even takes off. I used to fly a lot, but this year a lot of things changed. Due to the pandemic, a flight was suddenly something special and rare, so I wanted to enjoy it with open eyes.
My friend Greta and I said goodbye to Zurich and looked forward to a few days of wonderful food, shopping, museums and fun. I think we were both filled with gratefulness for being able to travel in those strange times.
One of the highlights of our trip was visiting Tukadu, the quirky jewellery shop whose face I am since a few years. The shop is full of quirky jewellery dreams, and the owners Til and Roberta are the most wonderful and creative people. I am very proud to look at the people of Berlin from their shop facade. Spending a while sitting in their shop window as a living doll was a thrilling experience too, and of course, I couldn’t leave without a few treasures.
Til organised a tour with an old-timer and Mr Pixeldealer for us, so we saw the Brandenburg Gate and a few other hotspots while being dressed in the metallic coats we bought during our shopping day. Of course, I was wearing jewellery from Tukadu, and I picked the biggest pieces as always. The darker the times, the brighter the shine a girl tries to spread!
2020, you are really a tough cookie and hard to swallow, but this was good. Thank you very much for those few days at another place and for letting me feel the missing freedom and lightness for a while.
