I was interviewed for the latest Berlin guide from the creative guys by Liganova. The other day the Berlin Inspires Guide arrived here in Berlin and I can highly recommend it for anyone planning a trip here this summer. Apart from getting it directly from Liganovas online shop you can purchase it at The Store in Soho House.
