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 Festival of Lights

The sixth annual Festival of Lights, presenting Berlin as a sparkling metropolis.  Historical landmarks and famous spots are swimming in the prettiest of illuminations from the 13th-24th October. 
Emily, Daniel and I ventured out into the spine tingling cold of the night, to weave our way through the maze of illuminations.  Covering a very modest selection from the proposed 65 possible spots.  We saw Hotel de Rome, Deutscher dome, French Dome, TV Tower and Berliner Dom - which was bathed in the most spectacular leopard print projection.  Following is a showcase of Daniel's fine photography skills:)

Miss everyone a heap load X.  Wish I were home with NZ Summer approaching, opposed to feeling my fingertips through my leather gloves!
