Throwback to 2019 – beautiful memories in the City of Angels. My heart is with everyone facing the devastating fires right now. This city holds so much resilience, and I know brighter days will come. Until then, sending love and strength. ❤️‍🩹

An unexpected pleasure to be invited to a film premiere in one of the oldest cinemas in Europe! 🎥✨ Watching a beautifully crafted documentary about the history of the town I come from was such a moving experience. The evening was made even more special by bumping into old friends and having the chance to make some new ones. Sometimes, the most unplanned moments leave the biggest impressions. 🌟

📸 Today, I had the pleasure of visiting the stunning Palac Szachownicowy in Sitno (Schloss Hehenziethen) – the very palace featured on the cover of Leszek Herman’s book Szachownica (Chessboard). 🏰 Intrigued to learn the story behind its name?

Special thanks to Genius Loci Architects and Karolina Gołębiowska for bringing history to life!

🇵🇱🍸 Vodka Hot Topic: Polish vs Swedish Drinking Cultures 🍻🇸🇪

Did you know? In Poland, just the city of Szczecin alone has 1,100 licensed alcohol shops! 😲 Meanwhile, all of Sweden only has 440 Systembolaget stores across the entire country! 🍷🍺 These government-controlled shops are the only places to buy alcohol over 3.5% ABV for home consumption.

Poland’s vodka (wódka) is a key part of its rich drinking culture, tied deeply to social life and history. Spontaneous toasts, like the classic “na zdrowie!” (to your health…as if!), bring people together at weddings, holidays, and family gatherings. 🥂🍖🥟

Sweden takes a more regulated, planned approach, where strict laws have shaped habits to make drinking less frequent but more mindful.

What makes more sense: the spontaneous spirit of Poland or Sweden’s structured system? 🤔

Once a critical border crossing between East and West Berlin during the Cold War, this historic site has seen tales of escape, espionage, and resilience.

Established in 1961, Checkpoint Charlie was the most famous crossing point between the communist East Berlin and the democratic West Berlin. Its iconic guardhouse and sign, “You are leaving the American sector,” became emblematic of the ideological clash between East and West. Today, visitors can walk the same streets where Cold War tensions reached their peak. The site features a replica of the original guardhouse and informative displays that transport you back to a time when the Berlin Wall loomed large.

🕵️‍♀️ Tales of Daring Escapes: The stories of those who risked everything to cross from East to West are both heartbreaking and inspiring. From secret tunnels to daring car modifications, the ingenuity and bravery of these individuals highlight the human desire for freedom.

In One of the most daring escapes involved an East German family who built a hot air balloon from scraps of fabric. Under the cover of night, they flew over the Berlin Wall in 1979, landing safely in West Germany.

📸 The museum nearby offers a deeper dive into the Cold War era, with artifacts and personal stories that bring history to life.

🗺️ Location: Friedrichstraße 43-45, 10117 Berlin, Germany.
