Friendly Californian (Who Can Cook!) Looking for a WG

Haaaalllloooo!

My name is Sydney, and I’m looking for a WG-Zimmer in Berlin starting July 1. Since I’m an international student, Anmeldung is important to me. My budget is 400–700€ (somewhat flexible), and I’d love to find a place in Friedrichshain, Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg, or Charlottenburg — preferably somewhere not too far from the center.

I’m 22 years old, originally from Central California, and graduating from UCLA in June, where I double majored in Musicology and European Studies, with a minor in German. I speak English natively and C1 German, though I’m a bit out of practice. I lived in Berlin from February to September last year while studying abroad at FU, and I absolutely fell in love with the city — so much so that I’ve decided to move back long-term! I’ll be starting my Master’s in Musicology at FU in October 2025, so I’m looking for a place to settle in and get back into Berlin life.

For the past four years, I’ve lived with roommates, both students and professionals. I like keeping a relatively clean space and am used to having a cleaning schedule, but I’m also happy to adapt to whatever rhythm the WG already has. Home, for me, is a place to recharge, so I value having my own space while also enjoying friendly chats in shared areas. I love when a WG feels welcoming and comfortable, where we can coexist peacefully and do things together from time to time (if you’d like)! If I plan to have friends over for a game night or a cooking night, I always check in to make sure it works for everyone, and you’ll all receive an open invitation!

A little about my interests: Although tennis was my main sport growing up, nowadays I frequently jog and I’m hoping to get into beach volleyball this year. I really enjoy cooking and would happily share my creations with you from time to time. I have a good sense of humor and love to laugh. I’m a big fan of culture-related activities, so I love going to concerts, listening to jazz, and visiting museums. I spend a lot of time in parks, by myself or with friends, often bringing a blanket to read, paint, or draw. I’m not much into clubbing, but I enjoy exploring new bars on a night out with my friends.

I’d prefer to live in a WG with women and with roommates in their 20s or early 30s, whether they’re students or professionals. I don’t smoke, and I drink only occasionally. If this sounds like a good fit, I’d love to hear from you! 😊
