Originally from the UK, I moved to Berlin, Germany towards the end of 2007, after working in the city briefly and falling head over hills in love with the vibrancy, the nightlife, the alternative scene and the Berliner's love of beach bars.
Falling pregnant (a term that bewilders me yet seems applicable when the pregnancy is unplanned as mine was) changed things and I now see Berlin through different eyes and love it just as much having have discovered quite how much the city has to offer to families as well.
I'm not saying it's all been happiness and light since I moved over, it has certainly been a long and bumpy road (believe it or not I lived on 10 Euros a month, eating 1 meal and day of dried pasta for a couple of months) but it has been worth it.
The German language and I are becoming slowly friends and I am finding my place in this city. During my pregnancy and all those evenings spent alone rubbing my swollen belly and wondering what the future would hold for me gave me time to come up with a business idea to pursue. I now run my own Vintage Inspired Online Jewellery Shop 'Miss Bea wants' and it has opened a whole new set of doors for me in life.
My blog will follow my experiences as a single mum, bringing up a child in Berlin and tackling the daily challenges and highs of finding a new path. Welcome along for the ride.
