Since we moved to Germany in 2021, we have yet to share a video about why we chose this country specifically. Find out why we moved our family of six to Germany.

Why We Think Germany is an Awesome Place to Live!

There are many great countries in Europe in which to live now, which is awesome! Many immigrants come to Europe for the lifestyle, the work-life balance, the walkable towns, the strong economies, the social safety nets, and great education systems. So why did we choose Germany instead of Belgium, Denmark, France, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands…? Well in this video, we share 15 reasons why we chose Germany, and why we think it’s an awesome place to move to and raise a family!

Our Story

In February of 2021, we packed up our American family of six, with four kids ages 11 and under, and moved halfway across the world to Germany to follow our dream of living in Europe again! When we were first married, we lived for two years in France and fell in love with the European way of life. Moving to Germany has been a whirlwind, especially with four kids in tow, but we’re already growing stronger and better from the experiences we are having. It has NOT been easy, but that’s how it usually is in life when you go after your dreams!
