Back to the topic at hand!

EXCITING NEWS!!!!

Yep!

I’ve got a new job!

Not only that.

But I’m going to attend the Royal Wedding Reception of Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle too!

Now before you all start pulsating and palpitating, wondering how I did it.

Just know that you should never wonder.

‘cos I’m well-connected!

Seriously though, I’m not going to be at the Royal Wedding Reception at Windsor Castle in the UK, but my event will be just as grand, and marked at the British Embassy in Berlin!

It’ll be quite similar too, ‘cos we’ll be dressed up in all our finery, eating delicate sandwiches, and quaffing champagne, to cheer on the new young Royal Couple!

I might be a new German, but I’m also a proud Brit, and a strong advocate for the monarchy, so it’s only natural that I attend somewhere.

And where better than at my own lovely Embassy!

And just like the Embassy,  regardless of Brexit & EU troubles, the UK has always had a special relationship with Germany.

As The British Berliner, I believe in developing and maintaining a strong relationship between both countries, and I’m not going to let that die.

We’re all in it together n’ all that!

And if you really think about it, that’s exactly what this blog is all about!

AND.

I’ve got a new job!

As you know, I’m a corporate person combining the world of style and travel, with business ventures.

And that has never changed.

In fact, I’m now the Referent Interne Trainings or the Internal Training Manager at a lovely company called H&D International Group – H&D ITAS Infrastructure Services GmbH.

I’m going to be responsible for:

• Corporate English Training
• Training Management
• Quality Management
• Designing, planning and carrying out inter-cultural training and workshops

My office is in Dresden, but I’ll be doing a lot of corporate travel from Berlin and throughout East Germany, ‘cos I’m German now, albeit British-German!

And as a British-German, let me leave you with tips and guides on both Britain AND Germany.

Do you love my fantastic news?

Isn’t it exciting?

EXCITING NEWS! I’VE BEEN INVITED TO THE ROYAL WEDDING RECEPTION OF PRINCE HARRY & MEGHAN MARKLE! AND. I’VE GOT A NEW JOB!

This article is not sponsored, and all opinions and the wonderful time that I’m absolutely certain to have, are my very own!

I’ll be continuing my last visit to the UK and telling you all about it, later in the season!

A few weeks ago, I travelled to my 65th country and a new destination.

It was Romania!

If you’re not in Berlin in May, it’s your loss!

Omigosh!

That’s it for now.

See you next week!

Note! I never travel without insurance as you never know what might happen.

I learnt my lesson in Spain. And obviously, in countries like Qatar, where technically the risk is higher, I can’t imagine going that far beyond WITHOUT INSURANCE. No siree! You can get yours here, at World Nomads!

Please note that there are now affiliate links (for the very first time) connected to this post. Please consider using the links, because every time some sort of accommodation or travel insurance is booked via my links, I get a little percentage, but at no extra cost to yourself!

A win-win for all!

Thanks a million!

See you in Berlin.
