Berlin to Policoro (via Fiumicino & Rome)

Berlin to Fiumicino by plane (Germanwings) One nice thing (apart from staying with my sister) about staying at my sister's place in Berlin-Charlottenburg is that it is awfully easy to get to Tegel airport. I had the last of my four

Meditate, good times

To keep me entertained while saving for my next trip (due this coming spring) I'm checking out fun stuff to do in Berlin. Two nights ago I went to a kundalini meditation. I'd found the Osho Studio on be-more-ecofriendly app cotastic.
