Feli from Germany
@felifromgermanyAbout
Just a Munich girl living between the US and Germany :) Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Feli (Felicia) and I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but moved to Cincinnati, Ohio in 2016. In 2025, I moved back to Munich together with my husband Ben. In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany and my personal experiences living "between" the two cultures but I also like to dive deeper into more serious topics! Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments! If you want to see more of me, you can follow my social media pages or support me on Patreon or ko-fi.com! And check out my brand new shop for authentic beer mugs, "Servus" t-shirts, German curse word stickers, and more ▸https://felifromgermany.com. :) Mailing address: New mailing address in Germany will be published soon!

That's why in this video, I'm sharing all the things that I think you should know about German rules, customs, and people to make your stay in Germany as much fun as possible. :) If you have more tips and things to know before coming to Germany, please feel free to share them in the comments below! ------------------------- 0:00 Intro 0:46 Currency & units 2:16 Store hours 2:48 Cash culture 5:05 Driving 06:39 Drinking in public 7:06 Restaurants 8:40 Customer service 9:17 Paying to pee 09:46 German rules 10:33 Dubbing 11:10 Small talk/friendliness 11:49 Speaking English/German 12:42 Housing differences ------------------------- Check out my SHOP!

My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 26, 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 experiences that I have made during my time in the States.
