About me
Hello, I’m Elliot. When I moved to Berlin in 2012, I didn’t know where to start.
I made mistakes which meant everything was more difficult than it should have been. Since then, I’ve gone from almost zero German language skills to being able to speak the language of bureaucracy. |
I slowly began to understand how German bureaucracy works – and more importantly, how it doesn’t work. For most people, their first few weeks in Berlin is the most difficult.
I can help you make that easier. |
How I can help
Relocating or moving to Germany will involve a whole host of daunting organisation and bureaucracy. Without my knowledge of how things work, the whole process can be stressful and emotionally draining.
