What I’ve Learned About Germans Since Moving to Germany (Round 2)

I have officially been living in Germany for 8 months. Sometimes it feels like we just moved yesterday. We slung our two suitcases around town in one hand with a dog leash in the other, marveling at the weather and the flowers everywhere. Other times it feels like we've been here for years. We've traveled so much (for me at least) that it feels like surely we've lived here for long enough to see … [Read more...] about What I’ve Learned About Germans Since Moving to Germany (Round 2)

Backpack // Sweater // Jeans Since there a lot of people that don't know my story, I'm going to refresh your memory: I was born on … [Read more...] about What it’s Like to be an Expat

Why I Left Everything Behind to Move Abroad

Moving abroad is hard. It's time consuming. It's brain taxing. Some things aren't translated in your native tongue. It teaches you a lot. And it throws your through a loop. And it's awesome. And here's why I did it. I have always been a homebody. I can remember as a child that I begged my parents if we could stay home for Christmas, rather than making the three hour drive to Shreveport, … [Read more...] about Why I Left Everything Behind to Move Abroad
