Up Next: Riding with 1 in 10

July 12, 2010

Cabbie Waltraut Zille writes down the addresses of her two favorite Italian restaurants in Berlin.

She had me at the gummy bear earrings. For the past 27 years, Waltraut Zille has been driving a cab in Berlin and moonlighting as a naturopath.

During our ride from Warschauer Strasse to Alexanderplatz, she also told me – in flawless English – about two Italian restaurants she loves. I’ll be heading to the west side of the city later this week to taste the (hand-made!) pasta.

In the meantime, stay tuned for some video of my conversation with the charming cabbie, who had plenty to say about being part of the 10% of women who make up Berlin’s cab driving workforce.
