MEET THE STORYTELLER
Jo Eckardt

My name is Jo Eckardt. I studied literature, history, and social work - in Cologne and then in New York where I lived from 1984 to 2001. In 2001 I returned to Germany, settling in Berlin, my favorite city! A few years later I started my own touring company called A Friend in Berlin (www.afriendinberlin.de). There is so much to see and experience in Berlin: some obvious highlights and landmarks, reminders of Berlin's complicated past, but also lots of surprises such as the many parks and canals, beer gardens, and amazing restaurants at reasonable prices. When I don't tour the city, I travel in Germany and discover new places. Some of them I have shared with you on different voicemap-tours, check out all my tours! I also write books, mostly in German, but some are in English too.
