With spring in full swing and Frühlingsgefühle in the air, we’re diving into the highs and lows of single life in Germany. Our guest this week is Alysia, a Canadian who’s called Berlin home for over 20 years. She’s the founder of ALTO Matchmaking and a professional matchmaker with a passion for bringing the right people together – across languages, backgrounds, and love languages. We chat about her journey, what matchmaking actually looks like today, and how intercultural dating adds an extra layer of complexity to relationships in Germany. She also shares some real-world advice for anyone looking to up their dating game in Berlin.
In our culture segment, we’re taking a look at the hidden price tag of living solo, plus, we’ve got the latest headlines from the capital. And in Ask a German we explore one of the country’s deepest fixations: insurance.
