We're back in Berlin! Since Mid-August, still searching for an apartment and it's been hell! How do you find an apartment in Berlin? With lots of luck that we haven't so far... BUT in good news we finally managed to get married in Denmark - the legal, bureaucratic part and it was very cute and pleasant!
Highly recommend getting married in Denmark, you don't even a birth certificate.
We also hosted our third retreat for lesbian and bisexual women in Mallorca this time, our Sapphic Island retreat, and it was very beautiful.
Also, we both got new jobs and Lilian is working away on her novel.
New updates regarding our family forming journey and some mental health updates soon :) Sorry for having been MIA!
Love,
Alexis and Lilian

Hi friends - little update, it's been a while! We've been back in Berlin sind mid-August, finally got LEGALLY married and are still looking for a long-term place here - the housing crisis is a nightmare! More updates on mental health and family planning soon :) Hope you're all well

I have followed you both since that Tinder story you shared on how you two met. Long distance and everything else. Looking at you now, legally married, brings such good emotions. Congratulations!

I’m from Sweden and highly recommend our three big cities -Gothenburg (cozy, warm, kind of hipster vibes) -Stockholm (capital, more business vibes, but still inclusive - especially Södermalm) -Malmö (modern/alternative/hipster vibes, smaller but close to copenhagen as well and nice weather). Would say that most people here are open minded and willing to have english speaking friendships!🌟 Good luck!

Congrats on the legal wedding! As an ex berliner, I empathize, after leaving a hellish WG situation I ended up coming home to switzerland after 5 years in Berlin because I just couldn't face yet another apartment hunt, especially in the middle of a pandemic... The prices now are absolutely insane, and it's a 1/100 chance of getting chosen anyway :(

Congrats on getting married! And sorry hearing about the struggles with Berlin housing. Had the same trouble, searching for 1 year without success as a born Berliner. It annoyed me so much, I packed my bags and started roaming through SEA for undefined amount of time now :P also considering Vienna. Dont give up though! Best possibility is always through private contacts and random coincidences - so keep talking to as many random people as possible and surely the luck will be with you🤞

In Vienna has THE best value/price ratio out of any other cities in Europe, you can get a 80m2 apartment in an area very close to the center (walking distance) for like 900EUR. There is a reason why it has been named best city to live in since many many years.

I moved from Toronto to Berlin in 2019 and left in May this year, lived in sublets most of the time, an average of 2 or 3 months in each. Last year I spent 3 months methodically looking for flats, applied to 125, was shown only 6, and got none. I ended up trying the WG (flat share) thing for a year but it wasn't for me, so now I live happily on my own... in London. I exchanged some DMs with Lilian about moving from Toronto to Berlin before I made the jump, and she basically said "Berlin is lovely but it's hard to make a life there" and I didn't think it would be this hard, but indeed it was.

I went to a gay wedding in Copenhagen back in the 1990s and was amazed at how nice the officials were, and not at all awkward even then. And they did the whole thing in English because one of the guys didn't speak Danish yet. That was in the ca. 1900 folktale room in the old town hall. I guess you went to a different place. The flat search in Berlin has indeed become a horrible nightmare and I wish you the very best of luck.

OMG!! Why is Berlin so dirty!? I live in Bucharest and it's very clean here. I lived in and also visited other big cities in the world and noticed they're dirty, such as New York, San Francisco, Paris, London, but I always imagined that Germany must be a very clean country. It seems not... Also, I wish you congratulations on your wedding!!🎉❤ I know this is an invasive question, but didn't you have guests at the wedding or a celebration afterwards?

@toni5309 7 ай бұрын

you should move to Muncih or Vienna!!! (Vienna being a bit more affordable I guess... but Munich being more queer friendly and actually quite amazing)

I recommand Vienna or even Kraków 😀 it depends on your work but Krakowi is very good for It professionals for example. Apartment prices starts at 500 euro for studio and something bigger about 700 euro can be found easily

Personally i prefer Vienna in comparison to Berlin it is more clean and everything is maintained in better condition than in Berlin. I’ve been also in Frankfurt am Main and it felt also much better than Berlin. Didn’t like Paris and Milan. Milano as city not very interesting however it is in Italy so you have easy access to whatever you want alps Meditearanian sea, appenins, venice, toscany, dolomites, etc.

@irynasokolova7697 7 ай бұрын

I can so much relate to you struggle with the apparent hunt. I managed to find an apartment in Berlin by installing Immo app and I would update my search literally every 10 sec (I spent a month with a phone on my hand). Better to not rely on the app notifications, they are usually sent only some time after the publishing and the chance to get an answer in this case is really low. I also would send very nice message in German about me and my partner, with the links to our LinkedIn and FB. At the end we found a stunning flat in Pankow for reasonable price. I am sure you will manage it too!everyone who is looking for an apartment in Berlin finds at some point. Good luck to you and much patience!

'Palestine' = an homophob, antifemale, anti democratic, antisemit/antizionist racist arab, Islam Sharia Nazi project. lets not forget that 'Palestinians' did a genocid not just on Jews but ppl from all over the world and queers. You support exactly what HItler/NSDAP already supported! (lets not forget that National socialist were also just a variation of socialist movements an all of them were anti democratic, ,anti liberal/anti western, antisemit/antizionist, created with Islam most dictatorships/terror on the planet and are directly responsible why many countries are still less developed/poor! the world does not need another Sharia/Nazi state like 'Palestine' (thats what it is, nothing else). You are not just an antisemit/antizionist but support what would kill the channel content creator!

Idea! 💡 I did this in my life and got a really great place: YOU put the ad in where ever, say what you are looking for and see what comes up? (example?: Tight hipster marrieds with fur baby seek to long term care for your property in our favorite neighborhood, first floor, large yard. Offering clean background check, solid references, income.) Another idea, I'm elderly and would love to have a responsible couple living in my over-sized place. It is understood your life is separate from the owners, but you also agree to help the owner out but changing light bulbs or ladder chores or trash out snow chores perhaps. In exchange you get some very nice living quarters for you 3. They could pay you a stipend or you could pay a small rent. Best wishes!!!
