Hi Berliners 👋

As my time in Cape Town winds down, I'm feeling a mix of emotions – grateful for the memories made here and excited for what's to come back home in Berlin. It seems like everyone I've talked to is eager to return next year, and I totally get it.

Before I pack my bags, I wanted to do something meaningful to say goodbye. And that's how the idea for the FOMO Charity came about. It might not be perfect, but it's a start – and I believe in taking that first step, no matter how small.

So, here's the plan: we're kicking things off with a charity event to support Hands & Feet. It's going to be a laid-back wine tasting and drinking at a local wine bar, where we can gather, enjoy some good company, and raise funds for a great cause.
