Americans in Germany Drinking Whiskey

Culture shock...in the reverse. That's the best way to describe what it's like for an expat to visit their home country after living abroad for so long. We'll describe what it's like for us to go back to the USA during the holidays each year. More importantly, stay healthy everyone!

Germans use beer in the cereal instead of milk, right? Today we'll be discussing the myths, stereotypes & misconceptions about Germany and its people. 

Germany celebrates many weird and oddly fun holidays, festivals, and traditions. From Oktoberfest to needing to be kissed by a virgin...join us. 

Compared to our home country of the USA, the social systems in Germany are quite different. Let's jump down the rabbit hole and see exactly where our taxes are going...

Traveling around Europe can be a true adventure with so many different countries and cultures "within an arms reach." We'll discuss our own experience and also how to get around on a low budget. 

Sometimes culture shock can hit you hard if you've never lived abroad. How are things done differently in Germany?

It's difficult to find your way around a new country if you don't know the language...or is it? We'll discuss getting around with English, learning German, and drink more whiskey. 

In this episode we introduce ourselves and explain why we separately ended up moving abroad to Berlin, Germany. Each story is very different and occurred many years ago, however last summer we found we both had a passion for helping other expats and of course, a passion for whiskey. This was when our podcast "Americans in Germany Drinking Whiskey" was born. Come along with us as we describe life being an expat, provide advice on making the move yourself, and give you taste of what to expect from a life in Germany.
