As a German native, I hate seeing people visiting or moving to Germany and having a bad experience because of a few German-specific things that they weren't aware of. That's why in this video, I'm sharing all the things that I think you should know about German rules, customs, and people to make your stay in Germany as much fun as possible. :) If you have more tips and things to know before coming to Germany, please feel free to share them in the comments below!

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 :)
