"My business is called The Echo Chamber Club — we curate articles that counter a traditional metropolitan viewpoint and send them to our hundreds of subscribers. It makes sense that I remove myself from London to understand new points of view and communicate them with my subscribers."

With regards to "liberal metropolitan" viewpoints, Berlin won't challenge you anymore than London did. It's just another global city where inside your group of people you are likely to meet (given what you work in) they will more than likely be liberal and metroplitan.

Hmmm I kind of disagree there. I'm having to make new friends and get out of my comfort zone. In time I'm going to start exploring other areas. I'm really keen to get collaborators on board for instance.

Nothing is perfect - this was just the best move for me at the time :)

Oh, you'll meet loads of great people and it is an experience getting out of your comfort zone and leaving behind old friends in the city you grew up in.

I was just meaning in regards to differing opinions to liberal metropolitanism it will be very similar to London. Best of luck in your endeavour!

As someone who is looking to make moves soon (possibly international), I quite enjoyed your post.

RIP Fabric...you'll be sorely missed. Now you'll have to wait in line for Berghain. Best of luck on the new business!

Haha Berghain is yet to let me in. I wonder what the record is for consecutive refusals? I'll try and beat it... :)
Berlin is also very ethnically white compared to more global cities.
