Interview with an Expat #3: Alex

Melt is not the most traditional of ‘Bucket list’ festivals – but continuously earning a well-deserved place among the likes of Resident Advisor’s Top 10 July Festivals, and entertaining some of the world’s best electronic acts, it was enough to catch my eye. However the main draw (which clinched the deal) was the location – the ‘Iron City’ of Ferropolis, an old, lake-side mining site in East Germany, revamped to accommodate a couple of thousand international music lovers to celebrate summer, love and freedom.

Baby it’s (awkwardly still quite) cold outside ❄️
Stepping into Spring like 💅🏻💁🏼‍♀️🌸

Winter in Berlin has been suspiciously mild this year 🤔 Just in case we get a second reckoning, I’ve posted my top survival tips for getting through the cold and grey (Link in bio). Climate change is real folks!

I find this time of year particularly hard, when autumn is rounding off and you know there’s a long grey city winter ahead. Need to get to the sea one more time before the cold sets in ❄️

Oi Frodo, hobbit letting ya gal in? ————————————————————————
As a Kiwi, like it or not, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit is a pretty integral part of our overseas identity. During our recent roadie, I ended up at Hobbiton for the 4th time (it’s almost a joke at this point) to fulfil the childhood dreams of my German co pilot. Whether you are a fan or not (I still am), you can not deny that the attention to detail lavished on this set is jaw dropping, and 100% worth checking out. When you’re downing your pint (or stay for the dinner like we did) at the Green Dragon, you do feel like you’re a small part of something magical.  Now that’s what I’m Tolkien about 😉
