 Inside Berlin with Henrik I experienced Berlin so very differently because of Henrik (Henrik Tidefjaerd, our InTouch Travel host in Berlin). He's not a true Berliner but, rather, a Berliner by adoption (originally from Sweden, who studied in the UK and Spain before moving here), a Berliner who does not take things for granted.
 He walks through this very green and lush city with open eyes and opens doors & windows literally to show you the life of the local people: Huge courtyards that open up, where you find little stores, art & galleries many cafes & restaurants with benches, tables & chairs under shady trees; chic and traditional, old and faded, as well as techno modern.
 We sat four hours in his favorite Café Bravo in the Hacker’sche Hoefe discussing cultural differences: A German from the US, a Swede in Germany. Henrik is very impressed and considers Berlin a city where everything is ssible. He explains: Every thing you do in Berlin it is about being out and about. It is about meeting people, of coming together, discussing serious and not so serious topics, being stimulated or inspired, and all this around a huge dining room table he calls Berlin!
