Andrea will forever cherish the memory of the unencumbered view of the TV Andrea Schulte-Peevers born and raised in Germany, Andrea now divides her time between Berlin and Los Angeles, where she graduated from UCLA. Her fascination with the city's mystique goes back to her first visit in the summer of 1989, a few months shy of the Wall's collapse. During many return visits she has watched Berlin shed its Cold War-era brooding and blossom into an exciting, cosmopolitan and confident metropolis. Andrea has authored or contributed to about 40 Lonely Planet titles, including all five editions of this city guide, the Germany country guide and the first-edition Berlin Encounter. She again coordinated this book and wrote and updated everything but Shopping, The Arts and Excursions.
