❤️Aubrey was a Speech-Language Pathologist, Donnie was a graphic designer, but we both had a dream to #travel the world and experience cultures. After three years of being married and dreaming about if something like this great adventure would be possible, we decided to quit the rat race and take on the world. We sold everything we had, quit our jobs, and took off! After 9 months of aimless and nonstop travel, we now get to fulfill our dreams of #LivingAbroad as #expats as we move to #Germany!

What are your favorite "Americans (or Canadians 😉) in Germany" Youtube channels?? And have you seemed to notice this growing trend of Americans moving to Germany as well??

[OurStorytoTell]

It’s fun to watch this video as well as see our name in a couple comments! We love this growing community of Americans in Germany & feel so happy to be a part of it! 😊 ❤️

One of the major reasons for emigration is the standard of living in one's nation

Hey there guys! Thanks for the shout out! It is also really interesting to us to learn why other American families have made the jump abroad. Jonathan often wishes he'd started the channel sooner when he moved her 9 years ago. We also recently did a big overview on the new (potential) dual citizenship regulation and it sounds really exciting for us. Do you think you guys will go for it if it passes too?

I watched “Die Maus“ as an adult with my kids when they, were younger. I can fairly recommed it for foreigners learning German and German culture as it is presented in a way to easily unterstand without using “child talk“ or simplifying too much. The music is high class also and the animation clips and cartoons are totally funny !
As the producer (wdr) is state funded not only the good financial base the reason for producing high end, they are officialy instructed to produce “highly cultural educational quality“ content.

My sister and I just moved here because we are tired of the US. We love it here!

I grew up with "Die Sendung mit der Maus" and I still love it! Also as an adult you can learn new things by watching it, so it never gets boring!

Die Sendung mit der Maus ist awesome! Was für Kinder gut ist kann für Erwachsene doch nicht schlecht sein! 😉

I have lived and worked in Germany, since 1983 and have never regretted it. Since there was no YouTube at that time, my wife and I were very isolated in the beginning. Her being German helped a lot and the fact that I was employed by a large German / US corporation that paid our moving expenses and took care of my registration as a working legal alien and work permit did help a lot. Still it was hard, especially as my family and friends thought we were crazy and many of them never forgave us for leaving. Now that I been watching yours and other similar videos, it would appear that we weren't so crazy after all.

Re: Citizenship—You should look at the statistics for the amount of Americans getting permanent residency (Niederlassungserlaubnis) rather than citizenship, for all the reasons you mentioned in the video.

Kevin told me I had to watch your latest video, Donnie! 😄 But I’ve already loved your channel for a long time. We learned so much about Germany before arriving from you and Aubrey. As always you do your research and you present it in such an engaging way! Yeah it is funny how many of our American channels in Germany popping up - until your video, mu hunch was that it’s because YouTube is popular and there’s so much potential on this platform and not that much to do with lots of Americans moving to Germany. But it’s great to see the actual numbers from your video so now I don’t have to wonder anymore! I watch other channels of Americans in Italy and England, so it’s all over the place. I hardly watch Netflix or Amazon Prime anymore - I mostly just keep up with my fav YouTubers for entertainment! I love it - real people providing the entertainment now. Our views go to help actual families, instead of giant production studios. I’d so much rather support all of these hard-working small businesses here on YouTube.

Whenever I come across it, I indeed watch "Die Sendung mit der Maus". I watched it religiously as a child and watched it with my children, and if I'll ever be a granny, I will watch it with my grandchildren. I love their content. The explaining videos are as interesting to adults as to children. The cartoons make me nostalgic for my childhood. And best of all: the double intro (one intro in German, one in another language) - guessing languages is fun.
My favorite YT-channels of Americans in Germany (besides yours) are "Wanted adventure", "Hayley Alexis", "Black Forest Family", and "Nalf". I can also recommend "Antoinette Emily" who is a Kiwi in Germany.

Our family just moved to Leipzig, Germany last summer and we love it here! We have a bunch of reasons for coming including wanting our kids to experience diverse cultures and get out of the American bubble, being able to see more of the world, work opportunities, and more. We're really hoping the changes go through on dual citizenship - that would be awesome. As far as favorite channels go, you guys are definitely one of them, NALF, Deanna and Phil, Life in Germany, Conner Sullivan (when he was here), and more that I'm probably forgetting. (Shameless plug - we're also trying to vlog some of our experiences - hopefully we'll continue to grow our channel!)

[Aine]

My favourite channels (in no particular order):
-Black Forest Family
- My Merry Messy Life
- Feli from Germany (although that one‘s the other way ‘round)
- NALF
- and of course Passport Two 😍

[DeanaandPhil]

Great and entertaining video, Donnie! 😁👍 We are interested in seeing if duel citizenship between the US and Germany will be allowed in the future!

[myvillagelifeintheupperhar]

Since beginning my channel last April, I receive multiple suggestions for "Americans living in Germany" channels. I watch most of the channels listed in the comments. Hayley Alexis is a favorite. Most of the Americans I watch are here on work visas. My husband is German and lived in the US for eleven years, which is where we met and married. We moved here because he took a job offer at a rescue school where he taught as a paramedic adjunct instructor before moving to the US. I am considering citizenship since we purchased a home here in 2020, and I do not plan to move back to the US. Excellent video!

[TheCyberDruid]

I've subbed to NALF a week (or two) ago... this is scary (German here). Actually it's interesting how many people (also from the UK, New Zealand and more) are living here and having YT channels. Willkommen an alle und viel Spass in Deutschland :)

[peterkesseler]

Great to have you two here in Germany! Wish you all the best and that you will stay here for longer 🙂

[kgspollux]

Work-Life-Balance: Let us talk about a crucial social reason: Here in Germany we have a configuration, which is more conducive to social life, for instance founding a family, get improvement in private implementation, and so on. We live for working in a minor way, but work for living to a greater extent. This is payed, of course, partially by (more) taxes. . . . but to my humble opinion, it's worth to do so . . .

[wichardbeenken]

Of course I watch Sendung mit der Maus every Sunday! Even as an associate professor of physics I may learn something from the Sachgeschichten. At least how to explain difficult things in such a way that children understand them but without being incorrect by oversimplification.
