Ana Ionescu

“Berlin has taught me to be brave and embrace new experiences, even when they seem intimidating at first.”

Ana moved to Berlin from her home country of Moldova six years ago. At first, it was tough for her to adjust to the fast-paced lifestyle and new language, but she soon found a sense of community through her job as a waiter at a popular local café. When she's not working, Ana can often be found exploring the city's art galleries and attending live concerts. She also enjoys spending time with her adopted cat, Tootsie.

What's something you miss about Moldova?

Definitely the food. There's nothing like my grandmother's homemade placinte.

What's your favorite thing about Berlin?

The people. I've met so many amazing individuals from all over the world since moving here.
