I Moved To Germany Twice here s What I Wish I Knew

Moving to Germany was a lot harder than we expected — so hard that one of us actually had to move back to the USA before eventually returning to Germany a second time. In this video, we talk about the biggest things we wish we knew before moving abroad, including German bureaucracy, culture shock, loneliness, learning German, visas, making friends in Germany, and adjusting to life in Europe as Americans. If you’re thinking about moving to Germany, living abroad, or becoming an expat in Europe, we hope this video helps you avoid some of the mistakes we made. These are the honest realities of expat life in Germany that nobody really talks about. 🇩🇪. . #Germany #MovingToGermany #LivingInGermany #ExpatLife #MovingAbroad #Berlin #AmericanInGermany #LifeInGermany. . 00:00 Intro. 00:22 Moved Twice. 01:02 Visa Issues. 02:04 Bringing Too Much. 03:10 Better German. 04:10 Get a Shared Apartment. 05:03 German Society. 07:55 MyExpatTaxes.com. 08:57 Clothing/Fashion. 10:12 Depression. 12:45 Moving Doesn’t Solve Your Problems. 13:30 Red Tape. 13:53 Keeping in Touch with Family. 15:10 Imposter Syndrome. . ___ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____. .
