Some places drain you. Some places energize you. And then there are cities that feel strangely aligned with your internal frequency.
This alignment isn’t mystical, it’s sensory. Here is why.
A city’s energy signature comes from:
- The way people move
- The pace of daily life
- The architecture and space
- The climate and light
- The sounds, the smells, the rhythm
- The way history mixes with the present
When it all matches your natural internal pace, the city feels like home even if you’ve just arrived.
Berlin has that alignment for me. Johannesburg has it too, differently. They both connect with parts of me that other cities don’t touch.
Understanding a city’s energy signature helps you understand yourself.
Because sometimes the places we choose tell us more about who we are than anything else.
