I'm interested in what makes different people and cultures tick. Sometimes that secret code is in their language, sometimes in the way they walk, or in something less tangible, not so easily described.
I learn languages (five and struggling to understand some German), I travel as widely as possible, and have been lucky enough to turn my passions into ventures. To follow my thread go to fluenz.com and soniagil.com
“Communist Berlin” from my travels
Sonia Gil takes a stroll through the Left Bank of Paris and Boulevard Saint-Germain starting at dusk and into the night. The heart of literary and philosophical Paris comes alive as Parisians seduce each other over wine and coffee.
Sonia Gil takes us on a survey of bicycles in Milan. As there are few things more Italian than a bicycle, and as there are few things more ‘milanese’ than properly riding one through the city’s streets, Sonia goes to the heart of one of Italy’s most glamorous cities.
Sonia Gil walks through three of Berlin’s signature spaces: the Topographies of Terror Foundation, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, and the city’s Jewish Museum. From the demolished SS and Gestapo headquarters to the Garden of Exile at the Jewish Museum, Sonia Gil traces the ways in which architecture seeks to preserve memory forward in today’s Berlin.
Sonia Gil takes a stroll around the Turkish market in Berlin’s Kreuzberg. A corner of the classic Berlin neighborhood where Punks and Turks have lived for years turns into a delicious market, and all kinds of Berliners come for produce and mediterranean inspiration. The new Berlin is here.
Sonia Gil shares the pleasures of Paris’ Seine River at dusk: a classic Paris Beach across from Notre Dame, the magic of love bridges, perfect kisses, leisure picnics, and the simplicity of the perfect ice cream and good conversation.
Sonia Gil visits Mexico’s most enchanting square in the little town of Valladolid, near Chichen Itza and a few hours’ drive from Cancun. Life in this Yucatan town couldn’t be more perfect.
On Your Marks, Get Set, Ready, Go.
