Of the fire but i cant wait. To just top priority is feeling comfortable while traveling her first recommendation is just a few blocks away krupa store front for a small fashion label in the truss of. The concept of the store fashion designed for women by women everything is made in and around berlin and materials are imported exclusively from countries in europe. This studio is right behind the store the fashion made here is not unlike berlin unconventional and cool but be advised its not a place for bargain hunters. Our next stop on the other hand is free not a place youd expect to find in a travel guide pitted like that special atmosphere a key element in all her recommendations. One where are we. Here at saint hedrick. That might sound a little strange at first but its an unbelievably lovely place one that will miss the cockles of you who have its also and. Credibly beautiful in the summer time. Its in the isis of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle. I myself moved to berlin some nine years ago nonetheless i keep discovering new spots around town just like today thanks to tips but of course i too have a long list of recommendations for a visit to the german capital theres a couple of them. Whether you like culture shopping enjoying the outdoors or eating well berlin has something for everyone. For culture vultures how will. This contemporary art museum shows works from the second half of the Twentieth Century to the present over an area of some ten thousand square metres. When i want to shop i head for the streets around the by my such a subway station in mit its like a huge open air mall big brands independent designers fashion interior design here you can find it all but where you can also burn through a lot of money here in record time. Berlin boasts many parks but my favorite place to enjoy the outdoors is the former airfield at tempelhof airport its one of the worlds biggest inner city green spaces. Temple of field is like a crosssection of berlin where everyone has room to do their own thing. Last but not least my restaurant to this she she means friday in hebrew but this restaurant is full every day of the week tucked away in a nondescript courtyard in kreisberg that offers mediterranean cuisine tasty cocktails and friendly service. Limit wouldnt be what it is without its remarkable women. Retraces their footsteps in the city center and tell stories you likely wont find in a guide book the first stop the clothes and stuff. A statue here serves as a memorial to a protest movement during the nazi era and nine hundred forty three a group of non jewish women protested tirelessly here for the liberation of their jewish husbands theyve been locked up in the building that stood where these modern houses were later built the wives feared their husbands would be deported and stood up against the government a very dangerous thing to do. You know every day several hundred women walked up and down in silent protest some carried signs demanding their husbands release. It went on that way for a week with a thousand women in total after that week the men were released and returned to their wives. Its not entirely clear whether or not the protests caused the government to back down but the womens extraordinary bravery will always be remembered. On we go to Museum Island its five museums are jointly recognized as a unesco World Heritage site by far the most famous exhibit here is the bust of an ancient egyptian queen. She was a proud beautiful woman back in the fourteenth century b. C. She was said to have had many admirers and some things just never change. Course and then the whole reach for the orient hit. The bust wears thick eyeliner and it looks great also in the twentys lots of people here started applying thick eyeliner to look like never t. T. For the footy to. Be thought it is not far away the home of another famous woman. So one gets to the right at the bright yellow building in the middle thats where uncle american lives. Her official residence is in the chancellor but when elected medical decided to continue living in her old apartment i was like you know on what most people dont know about america is that she was a squatter twenty shows during her wild youth in the one nine hundred eighty. That was in the g. D. R. Im east berlin she probably hadnt even begun to imagine that she would one day be the chancellor of a reunified germany. Our last stop is the berlin cathedral the german capitals most famous place of worship has a female Master Builder salata hall is the first woman to hold the job and only one of many women shaping the citys paths and presence. And thats a vision were all about recommendations for women by women not only here and berlin so we are not going dollface smith says a brazilian actress of german descent and wants to show you around the most Beautiful Spots in her hometown brasilia. Hatsumi hello and welcome to brasilia the capital of brazil my name is julie and im going to if you schmidts about an actress and my family comes from germany but i was born here and today im going to show you my city. Heres a view from here were in the government district the center of power and power. This is most important buildings are located here. To the seats of government. The supreme coolness to national congress. The my friend good boy most of the buildings which is. An icon of modern times that in architecture thanks to him brasilia is on the worlds Cultural Heritage list. Album. And a lot of friends that is a planned city its Central Avenue is called the monumental access a show monumental in portuguese years because the most important monuments and ministries. I met the other end of the monumental axis is brazil is landmark the t. V. Tower. Thats two hundred twenty four meters its the citys tallest structure. And has only been the capital of brazil since nine hundred sixty before that it was rio de janeiro. He would do this if he was built from scratch in the visually unpopulated center of the country and. The house at the fence of the t. V. Tower im ok just held on weekends with food and music. If you can find a snack thats really popular in brazil. And how did you come to. That thats sugarcane juice and try and pastry but appetit. Was. I pad. The i was the history of egypt i played the music brazils famous for some. I. Cant think being this is like i dont know you can stroll along alright its about which. One.

So yeah here i bid you farewell i hope you enjoyed the two and whats coming up at some time but until then all right its about. Time for my next date i mean back she works for women fair travel an agency that organizes trips only fur women she told me to come to princess cheesecake a cafe that at least judging by the name is a great fit for todays show here youll find sweet cakes made from top notch Natural Ingredients and delicious fair trade coffee. That kind of awareness is also reflected in offers at the womens travel agency. Whats the concept behind your agency by women as women for travel the focus is on women not only the female travelers but also the women in the destination country. For every trip we book a female travel guide who can really let you explore the land and youre always meeting people theres also the sustainability aspect. Not just you know how its just what you like to travel means to women have that are different than those of men because what youre describing definitely sounds appealing to travelers of all genders. But once gone is that it because we dont really consider mens needs because weve never had to deal with what we look at what our women customers will. And ninety percent of them are women travelling on their own who want to go in a group to have contact with others and share their experience for us. In germany women only travel rose out of the feminist movement so around one thousand nine hundred before i was even born. In one function feminists and most wanted to have spaces for themselves also womens hotels and womens museums sprung up though it was a model that scattered. To the states but today demand continues to grow and we now have one thousand three hundred women clients per year and not one of them made it one last day of them is security an issue at all. As a da is its not that fundamental to be honest we might get a few inquiries if somethings happened in a destination country then a client might call but with one thousand three hundred clients that happens maybe twice a year. Now so its not a matter of somebody being scared to travel on their own its more a question of wanting to travel with other women absolutely not its about getting to know other women along the way. And thanks a lot for the talk my pleasure. Looks like the demand for travel arrangements focusing on women is on the rise now men are the reason why women want to be among themselves while travelling theyre starting to find that more and more options are out there. The Spanish Islands of majolica is the Perfect Place to Party Somebody is. Starting in april it will have to get another attraction because first we mean only hotel. And children arent allowed.

The its nice for women who want to holiday on my your get peace without being pestered by a man on the other hand if youre here looking for a partner good stuff not only not the right route to be. When women are around their own things get competitive in the evenings theyll be saying what she wears earrings in jewelry has she got it about shoes its always a competition. Even if not everyone is thrilled by the idea of a spanish chain plans to open its women only hotel in porto cristo eastern coast by this spring it expects to have thirty nine rooms ready to accommodate female guests. Has nothing to do feminism. To all women. Lesbians. Friends relatives. All women inclusive hotel. Hotel just for women maybe the latest thing in the yorker but its nothing new. In finland women even have an entire island all to themselves. And hildegarde banning opened her women only hotel by the baltic sea over a decade ago she welcomes mothers and daughters lesbian couples friends and more. Noisy groups a rapidly growing one is widowed women travelling on their own for the first time after the death of their heart so. Its not everyone is as convinced as management here that the concept behind the women only hotel will prove to be a hit. To attract many women looking for a holiday where they can get away from it all including their husbands and children.
