Rachel Glassberg moved from Los Angeles to Berlin in 2011, hoping to rediscover her German roots, escape the tyranny of car ownership and spend less money on rent and pilsner. Within the next year, she found herself deputy editor of the English-language print and online magazine Exberliner (Berlin in English since 2002!). She now spends her days haranguing writers, correcting misplaced apostrophes, and regulating the use of Berlin cliches like the phrase poor but sexy . She's also reported on leech farms, Wild West amusement parks, anti-Semitism, German music rights, and food, food, food. In her spare time, she writes songs about the Ampelmann and Sven the Berghain doorman in her poor but sexy studio apartment in Neukolln.
