„I really appreciate the work-life-balance in Germany“ – Interview with Dana Newman from Wanted Adventure
Today I would like to introduce you to Dana Newman. I met Dana a couple of weeks ago at the Expat in the City fair in Munich where Dana hosted our blogger event. When I checked out her YouTube channel “Wanted Adventure”, I knew that I wanted to meet her in person and talk to her about cultural differences, the German way of life, and, of course, videos! So at the beginning of the week we met for coffee and tea at Café Lotti in Munich. The result? This inspiring interview! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Best Christmas Markets in Germany – Burghausen Edition
Having lived in the United States for such a long time means that we missed out on the wonderful Advent season for years. Sure – we always had an Advent wreath, decorated our house with all the Christmassy stuff and made our own mulled wine. But nothing compares to actually experiencing the best Christmas markets in Germany yourself. The hot drink that warms your frozen hands. Brats that make your mouth water. The sound of Christmas carols from an organ, topped with the delicious smell of roasted almonds. Christimas time doesn’t get any better than this, right? So today I’m going to share my best Christmas markets in Germany and in and around Burghausen that are on my To-Be-Visited-list. What’s on yours?
Zuhause
Kennt Ihr dieses Gefühl, wenn Ihr nach einem Urlaub nur noch wenige Kilometer von Eurem Zuhause entfernt seid? Die ersten bekannten Orte und Plätze an Euch vorbeiziehen? Die Lichter Eures Wohnorts in der Ferne zu erkennen sind? Wenn Euch die Ruhe überkommt und die Hektik und der Stress der Heimreise langsam abfällt. Denn gleich habt Ihr es geschafft. Ihr seid wieder Zuhause, in Euren eigenen vier Wänden. Es ist so ein wohliges, angenehmes, beruhigendes, ja ein richtig gutes Gefühl.
21 German Habits I’m Re-Learning Right Now
Two months back in my home country Germany and I’m still surprised that there are so many German habits and approaches to daily life that I need to re-learn and get used to again. They range from very simple and mundane things like traffic rules, recycling and tissue usage to more abstract and less-straightforward aspects of daily life such as personal space, small talk and how to raise your kids. Plus the colder temperatures, of course.
