ABOUT ME

Hi everyone!

This is the shared profile of two typical young and very funny boys living in BErlin since 4 years. We both come from the deepest Bavaria in southern Germany but we're glad to have left from there.
Life is so easy in BErlin: We are students and we have the same job, working as mediators / tour guides in the private art collection "Boros Collection", which is located in a Bunker from WWII.
As both of us are really interested in culture of living and arts, we're always looking for locals of yourse to show us around, give us insider tips, apart from regular sight seeing (which we like to do at nights, when there are none other tourists there anymore *haha*).

Open for everything and looking forward to lots of encounters.

PHILOSOPHY

We're always nice and open minded towars everyone.
We don't like people who are narrow minded and proud of it. At least someone must be able to argue about his own point of view.
