Imran K

Hi, I’m Imran K., originally from India and now living in Berlin, Germany. I came here a few years ago to pursue my Ausbildung (vocational training) and successfully completed it right here in Berlin.

I also write about Ausbildung-related topics, offering tips and guidance for others who are planning to take this path.
