Germany 2009: The people you meet

Travelling isn’t just about the places you see, the people you run into along the way might be just as important and make the trip worthwhile.

I’ve been pretty lucky to have run into some great people on this trip that have made Berlin a little more awesome. So far I’ve run into:

A Mexican trying to market Panam sneakers in London
An Israeli guy biking across Europe
A French student studying “social economics” (which we figured out is kinda like social justice studies or something)
An accordion playing French girl studying science policy
Two Dutch medical students.
An Australian art restorer whose been spending a year in Genoa
Three Aussie physiotherapists
A German architect concerned about gentrification in Kreuzberg
A West Berlin born physics student and a Calgary Flames fan
A former teen librarian and graphic novel enthusiast from Vancouver currently living in Geneva
A German fashion student who desperately wants to move to London
A Londoner who works for an avant-garde fashion house in Berlin
A TV crew from Fashion Television (yea, they were from Toronto)
A woman from Syracuse, New York who escaped the Bush regime and doesn’t want to go back now that she’s here.

I know, I know. There’s funding, lack of infrastructure, the supremacy of the automobile, distance and maybe even a North American mistrust of rail travel (probably inculcated from taking Amtrak or VIA).

But a guy can dream right?
