Too Stoned for Cold War history in High School… Berlin in My 50s Changed Everything 🇩🇪 Travel Vlog
Ep. 194 ~ This winter, we stepped off our sailboat and onto solid ground to explore Berlin, Germany — a city layered with history, resilience and stories that still feel shockingly recent.
From the Berlin Wall and Cold War escape tunnels to WWII memorials, Checkpoint Charlie and the neighborhoods where East and West once collided, this episode takes you walking through a city that refuses to erase its past. We joined a famously unfiltered walking tour, revisited key sites on our own and dug deeper into the human stories you don’t usually hear in history books.
Berlin is fascinating, uncomfortable, emotional and unforgettable — sometimes all within the same block.
If you love slow travel, meaningful destinations and honest storytelling — whether you’re cruising full-time, planning retirement travel or dreaming of future adventures — this episode is for you.
