She really loves slow mobility as a preferred way to cut carbon emissions, particularly trekking on the Alps and bikepacking around Europe on her dad’s vintage bike. When she decided to start her Master’s in Climate Change in Copenhagen, she decided to travel halfway by bike, as another way to experience and enjoy the road she’s traveling. She is also very interested in sustainable lifestyles, farming and Permaculture. In her freetime in Copenhagen, she enjoys outdoor activities and going to parks such as Dyrehaven and Amager Fælled.

Karsten Brand
Karsten is a green guide. He studied “Environmental science” in the green city Tübingen where he was also engaged in Foodsharing and tackeled the current amount of foodwaste. He believes that we need interdisciplinary thinking to solve the climate crisis and therefore came to Copenhagen to study “Forest and Nature Management” to broaden his horizon and add the economic and ecological view to his knowledge about groundwater hydrology, elemental cycle and food waste. Besides his studies he likes to hike, bake and enjoy the time at one of the harbour baths.

BERLIN
GREEN GUIDES

Emil Carlé Dietrich
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.”

Danish Ahmad
Danish is a green guide. He holds a bachelor degree in Tourism & Hopitality Management and currently pursuing his Masters in International Tourism Development in Germany. Previously he has been affiliated with the international hospitality sector in middle east for 3 years. Presently he is embracing Berlin by biking around, learning German and taking photographs. He loves to explore Berlin’s green parks especially Gleisdreick park holds a place in his heart.

Sofie Bang Kirkegaard
“Sofie is a green guide. She is a curious explorer of cities and always on the hunt for new unexplored areas and outdoor activities by foot or bike. Sofie is Danish and moved to Berlin 2 years ago. As she didn’t want to leave her bike in Denmark, she decided to bring it along the bus when she moved to Berlin, -a good investment as it has brought her to a myriad of districts and green areas all around the city and its outskirts. Sofie studied urban planning in Denmark and is very curious about urban development, the build environment, cultural life and how cities adapt to the climate and ecological crisis”
