Neighbourhood
Berlin Friedrichshain is one of Berlins most popular neighbourhoods. It's know for it's vibrant subculture and art scene and offers lots of small shops, cafés, restaurant, bars and clubs. You can definitely enjoy the nightlife here but also retreat to the more calm areas and beautiful parks.
Must sees for us in the neighbourhood:
- The "East Side Gallery" - see street art on one of the last pieces of the Berlin Wall
- Visit the farmers market (Sat) or flea market (Sun) on Boxhagener Platz or at the RAW area
- See the Karl-Marx-Allee with it's stalinist architecture
- Relax at the "Volkspark Friedrichshain"
- Enjoy the many small shops and café around "Simon-Dach-Straße"
Nearest airport

Hi!
We're Sarah & Viktor. We're both 41 years old and live in Friedrichshain - one of the most lively and lovely neighbourhoods of Berlin.
Sarah works in Marketing and Viktor is a freelance Data Analyst. We can work remotely and are quite open and flexible with our swapping time and location within Europe. Exchanging overseas would also be a dream in the future with longer planning :)
We both love to travel but are quite new to home exchange. We're very much looking forward to our first home swap and exploring new corners of the world!
If we would describe ourselves: We are interested in culture, art, history, nature, hiking, yoga and last not least good food.
"We're looking for a 1-2 week swap in Edinburgh - preferably in August or September 2023."
Dates flexible
"We're looking for swap in December 2023 - long weekend / 1 week"
