It's called Dating in Berlin and covers her hilarious - and some not so hilarious - misadventures as a foreigner in the German dating scene.  Lulu to discusses dating in Berlin, toxic relationships, making friends, and learning the German language.Get the book here: Dating in Berlin: Tales of Modern Love and RelationshipsSubscribe to my other podcast: Everyday GermanySupport the showInstagram: the.germany.experienceOfficial podcast website: https://thegermanyexperience.deYouTube channel: https://youtube.com/c/thegermanyexperienceContact me: [email protected] Intro Music by: Adrian Bran
