 Shanay is a single mum who moved to Berlin from New York, with her ex-partner, Iyla’s dad, when Iyla was 6 months old. It was never a long term plan to stay, and she remembers being lonely, culture-shocked and alienated by the language on arrival. However, with a new German fiancé, a new bump and a ring on her finger, Shanay is thrilled she made Berlin her home...it'll be her 6th year this year.

 I think it's fair to say that many expat families on arriving in Berlin tend to gravitate towards leafy, picture-perfect Prenzlauerberg to find a home. And why not? Its' pretty cobbled streets, cosy cafes and wide green spaces are very inviting.
