My Parents' FIRST IMPRESSIONS of Germany! 🇩🇪 The Food, Culture, Autobahn, Landscape & More

Published 2023-04-16
We had a blast hosting my American parents on their first trip to Germany! 🇩🇪🇺🇸 From munching on traditional German cuisine and hiking up mountains like locals, to driving on the Autobahn and learning new words, we captured it all. Want to know what they thought of their time in Deutschland? Check out our video for their first impressions!

//ABOUT US//
We are a family of six, with four kids and a cat 😹, who moved from the USA to Germany in February of 2021 to pursue our dreams of adventure, travel, learning another language, and integrating into German life. We hope you enjoy our videos about our journey to integrate - the highs and the lows of being foreigners on the adventure of a lifetime.

    If the parents didn't have any trouble with German bread, they might not have an issue with gluten, but with the addictives which are in American bread.
  • Aw your parents just look like they've always belonged to Germany ❤😂

    Hi McFalls, I do hope you are alright. We subscribers haven't heard from your wonderful channel in over six months. While I don't want to barge in, nor insist on an answer, it would be great to hear from you again. If you are dealing with problems, please, do so, no matter what it is. Just a Lebenszeichen, a sign of life, would be great. We are all concerned about your well-being. Sending you hugs, and the best wishes.

    Hello from Switzerland! How are you guys? Missing your videos a lot, are you okay?
  • @Vajrakrti
    Your parents are SO lovely people. I love them for the first moment!❤

    Your Dad will be happy to know that Solingen has been known for quality steel knives and blades since the middle ages. If you go to museums all over Europe and look at their medieval weapons collections you‘ll find swords declared as made in Solingen by the museum descriptions. Also Solingen has „Klingenstadt“ = City of Blades as a additional name. Making knives is their specialty!
  • My wife and I were in Essen visiting a woman who had been with us in USA as an exchange student 35 years ago. We had such fun with 3 generations of her family: 14 year old son, her husband and her and her parents. We did day trips to Dusseldorf and Koln and had to force ourselves to go to bed at night as we talked about our lives, politics in US and germany and what we had done in the past. Conversations were in english until they choked up, then german until we choked up and with an occasional descriptor in french when no one could come up with the accurate word in either language. (wine and beer were were served, but no one imbibed to excess). We felt we could have stayed for at least a year, were it not for our travel schedule. The sights were interesting, but yes, it's all about the people.

    I hope your family is doing well and enjoying summer. Somehow I am missing your videos. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
  • @anneki1313
    Hi you guys, I enjoyed your videos so much and I just wanted to ask how you are. It’s understandable, that everyone needs a break sometimes, but I am really worried. Are you ok? I hope you are all well and I wish you all the best. Hope you come back ❤😊

    With the drivers license I had the same experience as you Sarah, just vise versa. I lived in the US as a german foreigner for three years, and I had to do a driving test also. A few years prior to that, I flew over as a tourist and was allowed to drive a big camper van around the country without knowing anything about the US regulations 🤘😎

    Die Niederländer kommen in eure Gegend, weil es dort keine Berge gibt 😁 Als Westdeutscher kann ich nur sagen: die Niederländer sind die besten Nachbarn, die man sich nur wünschen kann. 🇳🇱❤🇩🇪 Tolle Eltern hast du, das erklärt auch warum du so eine gute Person und Mutter geworden bist. Freue mich immer über eure Videos.
