TW: In this episode, we touch on the good, the bad and the ugly sides of dating, this includes topics like emotional abuse and dates with real scary people.
This is our first English episode, as we have an English-speaking guest: Lulu Johnson. Lulu is originally from Ireland, but moved to Berlin - and all its dating craziness - 8 years ago. It's safe to say, that she's become quite an expert on dating (in Berlin) since then. Lulu has captured her experiences, reflections and learnings in her book that was published last October: "Dating in Berlin - Tales of Modern Love and Relationships"
In this episode, we ask Lulu about how she perceived the Berlin dating scene as a foreigner and how it differs from her previous experiences in Ireland. She also shares with us how she usually meets her dates and gives us a few stats on just how many Berlin dates she actually had. Jointly, we bond over our different creative coping mechanism and Lulu tells us about her inspiration for the book, the writing process and how the fabulous chapter titles and illustrations came about. You will need to read the book for all of Lulu's stories, but we already got a teaser for the categories: funny, lowlight and highlight. Aside from all the fun and laughter, we also reflect on some of the lessons learned from our dating lives, which haven't exactly been fairytales.
