2017 passed by quicker than Sebastian Vettel. Now Christmas is knocking on my door. As I love to spend time with my friends and give away not only "material" gifts but memories, I organized some experiences this year. Maybe you like one or two ideas of mine.

Taste of Christmas

I love to eat Christmas cookies and did not want to host an Christmas party. So I just invited friends and family to back Christmas cookies with me – everybody has to bring dough or drinks, so the wellbeing is ensured as well as we back on the afternoon, so that not another evening is blocked by a Christmas dinner.

The best Christmas gift

The best gift for my friends and family is the biggest challenge. Especially as I don't want to gift away a THING, because I personally value the most, when my friends or family think of something we can do together. So this year I only give away Berlin experiences and make life easy for you too.

I designed the BertaBerlin maps also for the purpose of experiencing a city by walking through the streets and discovering the hidden gems. So this Christmas I created an Advents calendar with gifts respectively experiences in Berlin for you and your friends.

First Sunday in Advent
