Born in Eastern Europe and having moved to Canada as a teenager, my passion for football ignited after watching the 1994 World Cup. In Canada, I became deeply involved with the Toronto FC supporter culture and followed the Italian league closely. Moving to Berlin has been an incredible experience, allowing me to explore the city's rich history, diverse culture, and vibrant football scene dating back to 1888. I love sharing my enthusiasm for football and history with friends and visitors, making every tour an engaging and memorable experience.
