About me I'm a Brit now resident in Berlin because it is such a fascinating place. So much so I've written a book about it. I served in the Royal Navy and have just completed 24 years as a member of the civil staff of the Metropolitan Police in London. From time to time I take visitors on guided walking tours of Berlin - more of a hobby than a business.
