I'm an inveterate traveler who has decided to settle down in Berkeley after a long stint in Brooklyn, New York. Before this, I've lived in Europe and Asia and have traveled through many many parts of the world, from backpacking through war torn Central American countries to fairly posh hotel living in Istanbul.
I love traveling vicariously with people who are visiting my corner of the world -- giving directions to lost tourists holding unwieldy maps, telling people where the best [fill in the blank food] is in such and such neighborhood and feeling like I know a small secret about the city that I'm sharing with you. Also, as you might have guessed from the previous sentence, I'm obsessed with food and can talk about where to eat and what to cook/bake endlessly.
I can speak with you fluently in French, Spanish and Korean and fake the rest of the Romance languages, so I'm happy to translate the strange idiosyncracies of Berkeley to you
I hope you discover the charms of Berkeley for yourselves. Happy travels!
