From Lucy, Berlin, Germany

Lucy, Berlin, Germany

Hallo! I came to Berlin in 2010 from Bedfordshire because I wanted an adventure and to learn a new language. As a musician (classical singer) it's much easier getting work here than in the UK, so I can't imagine going 'home', though I miss my family! Life in berlin is colourful, spontaneous, never boring, refreshingly cheap, welcoming and fascinating. I love it!
