Emil is a green guide. On a planet of increasingly rapid social and natural change, he finds great meaning exploring the faults of human social structure, and the many ways we can pursue an even better world. Fascinated by the interplays between society and the environment, Emil’s path through his studies has delved both in human and natural geography. Born into a home without driver’s licenses, Emil knows no other fitting way to explore the exciting city scapes of Berlin than on his trusty saddle. Whilst Berlin provides the, arguably, most vibrant experiences urban living has to offer, Berlin is also rich in large unassuming green spaces. Between skate boarding, barbequing and pop-up dance parties, there is nothing Berliners cannot do in the parks of the city. Living close to the decommisioned airport Tempelhofer Feld, Emil enjoys strolling the vast airfield observing all activities of life all the while listening to podcasts discussing the state of the world. On sunny afternoons, this might even be in search of the perfect spot to set up camp with a friend and a beer.”
