______________________
ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 26, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other experiences that I have made during my time in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

    I'm glad you guys are enjoying this video! Your positive feedback and reactions in the comments are also a great example for what I said about positivity/being happy for others/hospitality/enthusiasm in the video, by the way! 😊
  • @bellkel7229
    As an American who is pretty used to having her country insulted by pretty much everyone, this was a real breath of fresh air. The US isn't perfect, and we have a lot to improve on, but it's my home and I love it here ❤
  • @FlatFifties
    I bet that the friendliness you experience with Americans is in part a reflection of what they see in you.
  • @renekoesler4704
    I came to America sixty years ago and never left! Became a citizen, was drafted, educated myself, got a good job for 45 years, and am now retired. I've visited Germany many times but do not want to live there! I'm glad you are here too. You are a great asset for US!
  • American expats: "I left America because it sucks. Here's why." Immigrants: "I came to America because it's awesome. Here's why." You're lovely, miss Feli. We're happy to have you as a citizen and a friend!
  • @NCrdwlf
    It’s funny when I lived in Germany, I loved how Germans minded their own business, and were more reserved, it was an introverts dream. Lol .
  • Swedish woman in the US for more than 30 years, and I agree completely!!! Especially with not judging and letting people be who they are. love it!
  • @lucyferina
    People are friendly to you because you greet them with that beautiful smile.
  • Extremely refreshing to listen to you talk about America in a positive way. As a born a raised American, to hear what you have to say about our country, yes that’s you too it’s amazing. Theses times are becoming more troublesome. A breath of fresh air to hear folks speak positively about our home. ❤️
  • @xsiunnu
    I do not speak for all Americans but I am glad you are here! You are a ray of sunshine!
  • I am an American of German heritage. I have lived in Germany. The comparison is accurate. Your English is great. No one would know that you are German. We are lucky to have you here.
  • @shonaharris9328
    It’s refreshing hearing someone discuss positive things about USA 🇺🇸. As an American, it’s appreciated.
  • @freddaniali
    I think that we as Americans hit the lottery when we have wonderful people like yourself move to our country!
  • Nothing warms my heart like a foreigner actually having nice things to say about the U.S.A. Edit: i hate how a positive, hardly offensive comment has turned into a bloodbath of overly political imbeciles arguing over a span of 100 plus comments. Thanks, YouTube comment section!
  • @whumpingwillow
    I was born in New Zealand 🇳🇿 and LOVE this country for almost all the same reasons you love the USA. Best place on earth!
  • As a German I 100% agree to Feli´s Top 10. This is exactly how I see the advantages of the US. When I come to the US and have passed the immigration I almost feel like home.
  • It is interesting to see ourselves through someone's eyes who come from another country. Makes me appreciate this country more.
  • @tolkienfan328
    “Mind your own business, in a positive way.” That is a truly brilliant way to put it!!!
  • @tyrelchavez
    Kind of refreshing to see a video of positive things about the US instead of “10 things the rest of the world hates about America.”
  • @AndyRoidEU
    Seeing a native German person with the American accent and smile, it is something unique.
