So for what seems like the hundredth time, we began the usual purge - kept all the designer clothes, and began to donate all the other pieces. Went through kitchen and bathroom items, and began to systematically catalogue, organise and pack literally everything we own. You would think that with the experience of just doing this in 2016, we would be pros now, but nope, it definitely was just as challenging to narrow down and also to discard so many things. It was, though, a good second reminder of the stark way in which we consume, and some of the unnecessity of what we own.
Most importantly though, leaving Berlin was a little bit sad. We made some absolutely amazing friends and some unbelievable memories. People from all over the world make their way to Berlin, and we had the privilege of getting to know some of those beautiful people. These handmade cards we gave them demonstrated how now, as we left from Berlin, we took a little peace of both them and their home with us in our hearts. Cliche as this sounds, it really was these people we met and connected with that made our time as amazing as it was.
