for a living?

i work for a tour company here in berlin. i haven't actually started touring yet though so i'm doing promo stuff at the moment. should be starting the tours after christmas. i will be doing a 4 hour walking tour around the city. it's really fun and not at all boring despite the length. there's just so much to see here!

anyway i just thought this might make a (semi-)interesting thread. and yes being a student does count :P
