The Purse Travel Guide: 6 (mostly solo) days in Berlin

Is there anything dreamier than working on a novel while abroad?

The Purse Travel Guide: 6 (mostly solo) days in Berlin

After a too-long hiatus, we are back with another edition of our travel guides! I reached out to Sesali Bowen for a guide to Berlin after jealously watching her post on Instagram about her solo trip this past July. I haven’t been to Berlin in more than 20 years (eek!), but this guide has got me itching to go back!

Trip details

Who went on the trip: Just me, mostly. My partner and I flew there and back together, but she spent most of the time camping two hours outside of the city. More on that below.

How long were you gone: Eight days, including two travel days.

What was your budget: I casually flirted with a budget of $1,000 for this trip, which I only exceeded by about $500.
