Hey Berliners 🙋🏽‍♂️

How far would you go for a good friend? Amidst our pursuit of success and fundraising efforts, we often overlook life's essential elements: health, family, and friendships. I returned last night from a 6-hour train journey from Aachen to join my friend's birthday celebration! 😅

This week, we're sifting through over 80 events, each competing for a place in our lineup in the Netherlands. To gain full access to full weekly event list, share this link with two friends using your referral code: https://www.fomoberlin.com/subscribe?ref=PLACEHOLDER

Stay tuned and keep your eyes peeled 👀 on our Instagram channel: @fomoberlin247. We might have something small planned for Berlin Gallery Art Weekend in Mitte! If you know or if you are an art curator, DM me!
