The longer my server was gone the more stressed I was getting. Reverse culture shock for sure 😂 I’m so used to paying at the table in Germany. #americanabroad #americaningermany #lifeabroad #expat #expatlife #teacheringermany #germany #deutschland #newingermany #expatingermany #differentculture #germans #deutsch #deutsche #cultureshock #kulturschock #florida #reversecultureshock #visitusa #amerika

Ah Germany, electronic toilets and robots…but also cash only, and you have to send everything by post. Which Germany do you live in? #americanabroad #americaningermany #lifeabroad #expat #expatlife #teacheringermany #germany #deutschland #newingermany #expatingermany #differentculture #germans #deutsch #deutsche #cultureshock #kulturschock

Werbung| How many vacation days do you get where you work? I’m currently on a 3 week vacation back home in the U.S., and so many people here are surprised how ‘long’ of a vacation I am taking! Which is a pretty standard time off back in Germany. It’s been so interesting explaining the different rules to my friends and family. I’m so glad I have @preply, they help navigate and learn all that complicated German jargon, and give a little extra support with German life and culture!

I can't believe I'm worried about missing my daily ✨spazieren✨ 😜 #americanabroad #americaningermany #lifeabroad #expat #expatlife #teacheringermany #germany #deutschland #newingermany #expatingermany #differentculture #germans #deutsch #deutsche #cultureshock #kulturschock #florida #spazieren

👇Things that happen in German that could NEVER happen in the US First off, an UNATTENEDED fridge stocked full of beer and sparkling wine and drinks. WHERE ARE THOSE IDS 😂 I find this especially shocking since I had to ask for identification when I served and bartended (in the US) for people who looked 45 and younger 😅 Also, an unattended UNLOCKED box full of cash. The trust system in Germany is at the next level, ESPECIALLY could considering how many people there are and how densely populated it is here! #americanabroad #americaningermany #lifeabroad #expat #expatlife #teacheringermany #germany #deutschland #newingermany #expatingermany #differentculture #germans #deutsch #deutsche #cultureshock #kulturschock

What am I most excited for when I visit my family in 🇺🇸? Eating all of my step moms delicious Venezuelan food 🙃 #southflorida #americanabroad #americaningermany #lifeabroad #expat #expatlife #venezuelanfood #visitusa #germany #deutschland #newingermany #expatingermany #differentculture #american #deutsch #deutsche #cultureshock #kulturschock

Well except New Jersey and California You can have a number in their name like El3na …Except in New Jersey New York Ohio Virginia But besides those you can name them whatever you feel like. Germany has quite a few more restrictions. What do you think? Should you be able to name your child whatever you want? #americanabroad #americaningermany #lifeabroad #expat #expatlife #teacheringermany #germany #deutschland #newingermany #expatingermany #names #differentculture #germans #deutsch #deutsche #cultureshock #kulturschock

Getting your german drivers license is HARD! First it took over a year for the paperwork to be approved (unusually long even for Germany) Then the mandatory eye test (in the US you just go to the DMV and they have you look at an eye chart 😅 First aid course (in German, boy that was hilarious 😂) And soooo much studying In Germany there is multiple choice, unlike in the U.S. there is just single choice answers 😂 I felt so grateful (and still do) that I could take the test in English BUT not only were the translations tricky, but they use BRITISH ENGLISH. 😂 So, soooo many terms I had to look up. But lo and behold I DID IT. And now I can check off one very big goal I have had on my vision board. And I’m just another step further in becoming completely integrated here. Thanks for all of your support, and help through some of the tough questions!!! #americanabroad #americaningermany #lifeabroad #expat #expatlife #teacheringermany #germany #deutschland #newingermany #expatingermany #differentculture #germans #deutsch #deutsche #führerschein #germandriverslicense #ausländer #germanculture
