Tempelhofer Feld
Berlin is still worth it. Yes, rents have gone up and some of the rough charm of the early years has smoothed over, but the city still draws creative people from all over the world because the foundations are genuinely solid. Affordable studios compared to most Western capitals, a culture that takes art and music and design seriously, and a density of interesting people that leads to unexpected collaborations. It's a city where you can still build something, and that's harder to say about a lot of places right now.

I'm so glad I got to know about this brilliant networking space. Meeting so many talented and creative people has been incredibly inspiring – it's exactly the kind of energy that fuels new ideas. It's also a great opportunity to build a strong freelance network and connect with like-minded professionals.

When I joined Creative Lunch Club, I didn't expect to connect with people who live in the same neighbourhood as me. It's pretty cool to build a community of creatives in your vicinity, especially because it's easier to nurture those connections when you live in a big city. I love it.

I love Creative Lunch Club because it harnesses the most human way of connecting, sharing a meal. It's an effortless way for creatives to build diverse connections and friendships across various fields and meet people they wouldn't otherwise.
