Fotostrasse is a medium to show that there is more to see than the beaten path. We explore the city where we live in search of cool things to do and, sometimes, we go beyond our subway lines and see the world.

3. We started Fotostrasse back in january 2013. We started
doing what we like to call “photo safari”, where we took our
cameras to see different parts of Berlin. Some people joined us
and things got bigger and better.
Our blog is our new baby. It started in the end of january
2014 in a way to celebrate our first year of Fotostrasse. We
needed more ways of showing the world what we were seeing
and this felt like the best way to do it.

4. Fotostrasse started as a way of exploring the city we
decided to call home. Our goal was to see and show that
there is life in Berlin outside the Ring Bahn.
Our blog was born from the need to tell the world about all
the places we were going. This way we could expand our
discoveries to whoever was planning to visit Berlin and the
others cities we have been and will be.

6. On our blog, in February 2014, we had a little more than
5500 unique visitors. With an average of 2,15 pages by
visit, accounting with more than 12000 pageviews. Those
users spent almost one minute reading our stories.

7. Foursquare is out big bet right now because we see it as
one of the best tools to use while travelling. There we are
posting tips from the places we love in Berlin and on our trips.
Facebook is our main social network tool to gather people
around what we do and we use it to schedule and keep
track of our events. We have almost 700 active fans and our
interaction with them is way above the average.

8. We have been using Twitter for a few weeks and, we love
how people interact with us. We mainly use the website as a
way of expanding the audience from our posts on facebook and
instagram.
Instagram is a tool that we have been using for a few
months to show the world the pictures that we take on our
trips and our “photo safaris”.

9. In january 2014, we were invited to Sweden to cover the
opening ceremony of Umeå as the European Capital of
Culture. This was the starting point of a new phase to
Fotostrasse outside Berlin.
