Walking on the Street

Not just places—stories.
Not just tours—connections.

Welcome to GoingPlacesWithMe.com


Going Places With Me is where storytelling meets place-making, a curated blend of cultural insight, local knowledge, and lived experience. Here, you’ll find more than travel inspiration. I offer alternative guided tours of Berlin, rooted in history, migration, subculture, and the everyday realities that shape this city. Each tour is designed to connect you with Berlin’s spirit beyond the surface, through stories that matter and places that speak.

​

This is travel with depth, curiosity, and perspective.
Let’s go somewhere meaningful, together.

About Me

Going Places With Me is more than a travel and lifestyle blog, it's a personal archive of movement, memory, and meaning.

Born from years of exploring the world and building a life in Berlin, this space brings together two core passions: storytelling and place-making. It’s where travel meets reflection, and where the personal becomes political, emotional, and deeply connected to the world around us.

Here, you’ll find journal entries, cultural observations, and now, alternative guided city tours in Berlin, shaped by my own journey as a migrant, artist, and long-time resident of Kreuzberg.

This is a platform for those who want more than landmarks, for those seeking depth, connection, and stories that live between the lines.

Welcome. Let’s walk, reflect, and go places, together.
