About the Relle

Born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand I was nearing my completion of the tried and true steps to becoming an adult. University? check! Job of 2 years? Check! Living independently away from home? Check! Ready for something more challenging and a whole lot bigger than Auckland, I moved to Berlin in April 2010. As a Kiwi, avoiding an OE is about as unlikely as Tom Cruise converting to sanity, although choosing Berlin made for a pretty bold move. Not being ready for adulthood and frightened by the multitude of friends marrying and contemplating children..it was time to gap. Armed with very little comprehension of the German language but a big yearning for all things unknown we set off on one big year adventure. I aim to provide insight into life on the other side and hopefully convince all those doubtful kids out there that you can conquer Berlin!

Berlin...thank you for being an exciting city

Well it has been 11 days since we touched down in B-town.  I was lucky enough to nab myself a job after just 4 days and began working instantly.  There are 3 new things I can do since moving to Berlin...

  1. Ride a U-Bahn without holding onto any rails and without falling over when it stops
  2. Pronounce the hardest word I have seen on the map so far...Schlesisches Tor boooyah!
  3. And work an air-flow polishing unit which we didn't have back home
