BERLIN by way of KREUZBERG and PEKING DUCK - Flying Baguette

4

Jan Sevilla @flyingbaguette.bsky.social · Sep 1

There’s something quietly profound about wandering through Kreuzberg: the way the past lingers in graffiti & how a Peking duck can feel like echo of distant worlds intersecting.

I watch an old man play Arabic song & wonder how our separate histories converge, if only for a moment 👉🏽 bit.ly/GOberlin

Berlin ist arm, aber sexy - which translates to Berlin is poor but sexy. In Kreuzberg, it’s the realness that turns you on and a peking duck.

A city of shipyard grit & sleek café glow.

You step out into mist and industry, and find yourself pouring lace‑thin layers of city life onto your tongue—each sip a reconciliation of harbor salt & cultured calm ﹏𓊝﹏

LUCCA under the SKIN - Flying Baguette

Jan Sevilla @flyingbaguette.bsky.social · Aug 19

𝗟𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗮,

I miss your quiet mornings.

You linger ✨ like a half-remembered melody—Puccini through a shuttered window. I think of you not as a place but as sunlight on stone, footsteps on hollow streets, the slow unraveling of time𓂃✍🏻

I left, but something stayed

#flyingbaguette #travelblogger

Famous for its cuisine, medieval ramparts, and opera, Lucca is Tuscany's best-kept secret that makes for a different kind of Italian drama.
