About the Author

Hilda Hoy is a journalist and writer who ended up in Berlin as a result of a very happy coincidence: After leaving a newspaper job in Prague, Berlin just happened to be a nearby place to take an extended holiday -- one that has lasted nine years and counting. When not covering local dining and nightlife for Where Berlin magazine, she can be found tilling her allotment garden, scouring Berlin's many flea markets or exploring all corners of the city by bike, U-Bahn and on foot. She writes about the places she finds on her blog, thenwetakeberlin.de.
