I published on my YouTube channel a video with a f I published on my YouTube channel a video with a full tour of Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin, the most famous hotel in Germany. 

The legendary Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin, first built in 1907 and located right next to the Brandenburg Gate, regained its status as Germany’s most prestigious hotel after its reopening in 1997. This is the meeting place for heads of state, royals, politicians, stars and starlets, intellectuals, artists, designers and entrepreneurs, and last but not least, the Berliners themselves. 

Business and leisure travelers find respite in the hotel’s 307 guest rooms and 78 diverse luxury suites with opulent designs and unique stories. The illustrious Restaurant Quarré (with summer terrace) and the two-Michelin-starred Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer impress with inspiring menus and spectacular views of Brandenburg Gate. The Adlon Spa by Resense offers a lovely retreat from the busy city.

Last February, I flew Business Class in a @KLM Boe Last February, I flew Business Class in a @KLM Boeing 777-200ER from Cape Town (South Africa) to Amsterdam (The Netherlands). KLM names its B777 airplanes after world heritage sites, and this particular airframe was nicknamed Mount Kilimanjaro ✈️

As always, I loved my flight experience with KLM: the service was courteous, the food was decent, and the onboard product focused on Dutch design & history which I love (e.g. Marcel Wanders tableware, Jan Taminiau amenty kit, and miniature Dutch houses). That said, KLM’s Boeing 777s feature a 2-2-2 layout, which feels dated compared to other Business Class products, although the seat is still one of the widest and most comfortable Business Class seats in the skies. The carrier is currently refurbishing its B777 aircraft and replacing the old product by new Business Class seats with sliding doors which are arranged in a 1-2-1 layout.

During my trip to Antarctica with @White.Desert.An During my trip to Antarctica with @White.Desert.Antarctica, I met Andrew Macdonald, an award-winning Scottish photographer who spends most of his time in Africa. Andrew was so kind to create a special video for my YouTube channel featuring his incredible footage about our trip to the South Pole & Emperor penguins (link in profile). It's my first "YouTube collaboration" and the video is absolutely stunning (the first scene of the Emperor penguins at 13:43 is incredibly beautiful and will give you goosebumps). Swip right for more photos 🐧 🥶
