A woman infront of the Berliner Dom

My name is Florentina, I am a ’90s kid, born and raised in Germany, and a Berlin-based travel blogger. But to be honest, no one ever calls me by my full name since it is quite long, not very common (at least in Germany), and some people may have trouble remembering it – so, you can call me Flo :).

Just a few random facts about me:

1) I was actually named after the character Florentyna from Jeffrey Archer’s book “The prodigal daughter” from 1982. Florentyna is an US-American young woman with Polish roots who fights to become the first female president of the United States. My mom read the book when she was pregnant with me, and since she loved the strength of this woman, she decided to throw all name ideas overboard she had so far and named me after this strong character.

2) As far as I can remember (and as our family’s photo albums show), the first country I travelled to – after serval holidays in Germany – was Switzerland in 1997. This was followed by many family vacations in Italy, Austria, Greece, Croatia,  and two school exchanges to France.

3) I studied theatre and media science in Germany.
