Last Minute Deal: $705/Person Novum Hotel Aldea Berlin Zentrum

This is for travel in less than 15 days from now (Dec 13) and INCLUDES airfare from Columbus, OH.   Not sure you could beat the price.   The airfare alone from CMH would be much more than $705, especially this close to departure (December 13).

I thought I’d share it plus add some of my own annotations.  🙂 Being an entrepreneur puts you on an emotional rollercoaster, unlike anything you have ever experienced. You flip rapidly from day-to-day – one day you’re euphorically convinced you are going to rule the world, to a time in which doom seems only moments away. This happens over and over and over.

Watch “How Do YOU Define Yourself Lizzie Velasquez at TEDxAustinWomen” on YouTube
