ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 28, 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 topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

Feli filled in the space I had left open in Ohio. I came from Columbus to Germany for my year after college; that was 1986. Now I have two sons and a daughter, all adults who grew up over here. And that developed for me more or less the way she tells her story -- it was the never the master plan, it's just that one thing leads to another. Moin aus Hamburg!

@CurtisCT Год назад

That was so interesting! I had a very similar experience, but in the other direction. I moved from NY to Vienna after college at about the same age as Feli to work on my Master's degree. My first two years here were like living a fantasy dream. I met the most INCREDIBLE people, had the most AMAZING fun, did things I could have never imagined doing, traveled all over Europe from the Arctic Circle in Finland, Norway and Sweden all the way down to Southern Italy. Along the way I met dukes and princes, farmers and airline pilots, tiny little grannies who regaled me with stories about WWII, saw the most curious cultural traditions (e.g. Czech women getting spanked at Easter!), ate the most delicious food, partied like it was the end of the world and met a few true-blue lifelong friends that I could never imagine living without. Just like Feli, I can honestly say that this experience has allowed me to find myself and to really open my eyes to the rest of the world, learning different languages, learning different cultures, learning different ways of thinking and of doing things - this was THE BEST decision I've ever made, period! That was 20 years ago and I'm still here, and still loving it. I love that Vienna offers all the major conveniences but without any of the hassle of NY. People keep asking me if I'll ever return to NY, and I honestly don't have an answer. I never actually planned to stay here as long as I did, it just happened. But I love the European culture and way of life and can't see myself returning to the US anytime soon. So don't be surprised Feli, if you find yourself still living in Cincinnati 20 years from now...😉

So cool to hear other people’s stories. I went to the US as an exchange student in 2016 as well (but I was just 16 and did a Highschool exchange). I met my now husband there and went back and forth until I finally got my fiancé visa in 2019. Now I finally have my Green-card, and hearing you talk about all the paperwork/appointments really brought back all the dreadful memories of climbing over this endless mountain of papers. 😅😓 P.S.

I enjoyed this confident free-spirited video. Not planning anything is the best way to live in my opinion. Leaving the comfort zone always opens doors, builds confidence, and leads to some of the most amazing adventures in life. I've hired many exchange students and helped them get their H1B, Green Card, and some have become US citizens. All of them have amazing stories that brought them to the US.

Yea, we're that nice. As amazing as this country is, and the selection of where to go for a foreigner is wide and deep, it's tough to beat this place.

Cool story. I was an exchange student to Argentina in 1975. years later in 1995 I went to work there on a mining project because I'm a geologist. when I was in high school we had to choose a language and take two years of it we could choose from Spanish, German, Russian or French. I chose Spanish but I've always been interested in Germany because half my ancestors came from there and Holland. I traveled around Europe for a year after my first year of college. I spent some time in Germany around Berchtesgaden. I like the episode about movies with German speakers in them like Inglorious Basterds and different war movies. I always thought how difficult it would be to speak a new language without an accent. congratulations to Felicia. I wish her lots of luck. I think she has a bright future.

I don't hear it as much as I used to but in Cincinnati we would say Please "Bitte" instead of excuse me when I was younger. My husband and I are also part of the Kolping Society and love to go to all our Octoberfest celebrations. My Dad Daughter and I are all UC alumni. When I was at UC we had a rickity stadium and a hole in the wall steak house with cheap soup :) and my husband and I had 3 commercial recording studios back in the day and did much of the commercial and corporate recording sessions in the city. He was actually a adjuct audio professor in the early 2000's at UC so much in common!!!!

Another European (British, in his case) who appreciates Midwestern life is Laurence Brown, who moved to Indiana with his American wife whom he married in England. His channel, called Lost in the Pond, like your channel, discusses cultural differences between his former environment and his current one. In fact, both channels are what I call "expat channels" which are quite common on RU-vid. I have to say that yours is one of the better ones, in content and production.

Did you know that Laurence, like Feli, is now a homeowner?

I like his channel too. He is living in illinois i guess, chicago area.

@@kenhenderson1762 Yup. He's recently done two videos about it: one to show viewers around the house, another to show quirky things about the house that he had never seen before.

Everything you experienced was meant for you since the beginning ❤

That's new! When I was at Uni we played beer pong with beer in our cups.... definitely sounds cleaner....now that I think about it.

I left home in Connecticut right after my bachelor’s degree and moved to Texas for a master’s degree. I thought that was a big shock, but it’s nothing compared to what you did.
