Who are we?
We are two Wisconsinites, who have been living in Germany for the past 3 years. We are interested in finding the hidden gems of Germany and the world. In these videos, we show you the best of Germany and more, as well as tips for living in Germany. Come along for the ride, and gather some places for your bucket list as well.
We love seeing new places, trying new foods, and new experiences. We love cats, hiking, mountains, water, kayaking, and more! We also love binge watching 90's sitcoms.
In the future, when Covid gets more under control, we look forward to traveling to as many countries in the world as we can. This has been a dream of Ellie's since she has been little.

We have so many fond memories of our time in German...

Apparently, even if you've lived somewhere for 4 years, there can still always be something new to learn. Lucas was procrastinating getting more gas for our car, Carla, when he noticed this interesting behavior of German gas prices!

We Had NO IDEA What Ellie Got Us Into!
When it comes to new technologies, we Germans are often a bit skeptical, I think, especially when it comes to data protection.
I did not see you for a long time. I missed your funny videos. So I searched and found your video from a year ago. I am following you two a long time. And now I was happy to find a little life update from you both. Warm greetings from Germany
As Non-American myself , i occasionaly questioning American superficial friendliness as " What are these people want from me ? I don't even know this person ?" And i want to say sometimes it feels insincere and inauthentic Sure American love to pretend in order to succeded in competitive situation I find that niceness simply serves as societal function tool to blending in society I someone that prefer to use a directness with an approach of Yes is Yes and No is No , but if i do it in America down south , maybe that communication style might make me dragged into trouble and people might perceived me as that i want to pick fight with them or seem as a crude and uneducated person
Sie sollten auf ihren Ton achten. Es klingt fürchterlich!!
Americans think of themselves as being super nice and super polite and its fakeness turns all into rudeness and hypocrisy.
Those were your assumptions about Germans. You don’t speak for Americans yourself as Americans. Don’t assume you know what Americans assume
if you are outside Germany, we have complete inspection and shipping service.
My Shipment form Germany was held for a yellow card. What does that mean?
Are you German? Should I smile at people when I say hi? I live in Los Angeles

Bonaire looks so pretty, amazing reefs! So glad for you, that you had a great honeymoon 😊
Uuuh, I somehow missed your video uploades from half a year ago... Happy to see you two again :) So nice to get a life update from you! I hope you had an amazing wedding (must be more or less your first anniversary already, right?) Bonaire looks like a great spot for honeymoon and the reef looks super cool! I'm looking foreward to watching part 2 and 3 as soon as I manage timewise :)
Nice to see you again. Wish you all the best.
Awesome Video Lucas!! Can't wait to work together with you on my vids...
The floor's on fire.
You do both: misunderstand the American "friendliness" for actual friendliness and German reservation for being not friendly. The opposite is true. You guys grin, smalltalk and such, but that is not friendliness. We hate smalltalk, do not grin everyone in the face, but as soon as you ask someone they're usually very helpful and nice...some even go out of their way to help. But Okay...glad you are happy being back in the U.S. again. 🙂
The sign at 1:36 inside the red triangle is right of way but only for that one turning there, so no right before left for this one. When ever that sign is shown which actually is almost every road to the side of that entire street that you chose to say there is no diamond and so you have to give priority to people turning out lol, it means for the next turn/junction only. I only know this because I am learning to drive here and just saw it lol. It is certainly a complicated thing to learn to drive here when so used to how things are in other countries such as the US or the UK. It is nice to see though that people are the same, as are the panic attacks that they have because my German driving instructor has the exact same ones as anybody I have ever seen have them anywhere else in the world.
as an immigrant from southeast asia residing in the USA...i've noticed americans are fake people...compared to the rest of the world...having traveled to many countries & experiencing different cultures...americans seem to be delusional, self-absorbed, over-sensitive, exclusive, arrogant people who actually believe the world revolves around them...here are a couple of perfect examples to sum up how fake americans truly are...i went to visit family in mexico & friends in vietnam for the first time ever...despite having met these strangers for the first time ever in my life...there was an instant connection with a genuine feeling of camaraderie & trust...whereas, with american people & friends in USA, whom i've known for over 10 years...i still would not trust them with my life & still lack any solid connections...americans tolerate immigrants...but don't really want us here in their country...at least that's what it feels like on a daily basis...here is another personal example to prove my point...my parents' new neighbors--who just moved in recently (less than a year)---from the middle east...the second time i met them, they welcomed me into their home & got to know one another...whereas the americans i've known for over a decade---most of them have never welcomed or invited me to anything...americans are perhaps afraid of losing their things & their land to foreigners...but for whatever reason that barrier of connection will always be there
Folks, if you are not from the US, American friendliness is collegiality. Don’t mean a beginning of friendship at all . So don’t overshare personal things with Americans assuming that they take your sharing as a sign that you put trust in them , and that they make take that as you think well of them, and they appreciate such trust you put in them. It is “fake “ because you say what you don’t mean..for non Americans.. After all it does not matter because the other side would decide if they feel fake Or not. The US is a very mobile country w immgrants so they smile and are being congenial. It is safe as not taking beyond that. That way you don’t feel hurt by American superficiality. I am tired of American sugarcoated friendliness because underneath is individualism quite unlike I have seen even among other western countries. A friend of mine from Scotland says , “out of sight, out of mind “ with Americans. She lived here for decades. It is far more prevalent compared to other countries. I personally prefer cultures where they don’t smile as much as Americans because I get less confused.
The problem is... if you want to land a job...it is pretty much expected to behave fake in the US, I dont believe in being rude...but why do I have to be happy and smiley...I prefer neutral....or genuine self honest feel.
I agree with most of your comments. Americans have a way of recognizing their neighbors through a nod, a hello, a smile or some other polite recognition. It might be connected to all the ethnic diversity there. You can walk a big city street in the U.S. and pass people who are black, Asian, Indian, Brazilian, Texan, Midwestern, whatever. The point is if you don't respect you neighbor, it's possible that cultural misunderstandings might erupt into conflict. Americans are keenly aware of this and put on a "happy" face for the benefit of peace in their greater community.
Yeah, loving Mett ... that is very German
There's a HUGE cult of extroversion and toxic positivity in the US, so deeply ingrained that most Americans don't really think about it. If you don't appear outgoing and happy ALL THE TIME, people assume something is wrong with you. If you don't learn the fake smile and the phony greetings, people avoid you, and you may not be able to find work. I have nearly come to blows with people who ask how I am, and CANNOT be satisfied with an honest answer unless it's, "Excellent!" When I leave the US, a huge weight falls from my shoulders.
I think that she want stay in Germany, he not because hi have dificulties to come out from the american buble.
Homeland!
Hola en 3 semanas tengo una entrevista en el consulado . Sólo hablo español y portugues. Deberia llevar una persona para la traducción ?Es la única duda que tengo gracias
getting out of the water and the waves hopefully your keeping the regulator in your mouth so you can breath clean dry air and not get a mouth full of water and im meaning that for both of you and if you have enough air walking from the water to keep the huffing and puffing down with the weight of the scuba gear keep mask and regulator in place and it keeps the out of breath felling down
Ich weiß nicht wirklich für oder nicht dieses Video ist, kind of confusions for me, what are the topics what would you tell me with it?. I don´t see a reason for a culture shock........ help me out to understand (German, Bavarian here)
American will fake smile and stab you in the back for the money. That's their culture
nice video
good to see a video lest you had fun
Ellie! useful picture~do you wanna more followers?! have a great day~;))
Long time no see. 😁 I don't know what the business from Lucas is, but you have really high chances to find a job as a teacher in Germany, even as a "Quereinsteiger". 😉 I think you know that and i know you both wanna settle in the USA, but nobody know what the future brings. 🙂 It's nice that you use celsius and millimeter for better understanding for us German's. 🙂
"HI how are you?" Isn't actually asking "hi how are you?" Why bother asking in the first place?
It's just how the way the language and culture evolved in America. I dunno why so you think there's so many rules about how things are to be done or not to be done in your country or other counties. It's not meant to normally be taken literal and is understood as not being literal to the majority. It's just a cultural and language norm for us. Kinda like "it's raining cats and dogs" does not literally mean cats and dogs are falling from the sky.
2:14 That sign means "end of all restrictions" but by "all" it means overtaking, speed limits and using the horn.
Thank you! Good info!!!
As an English man, I think our culture is a cross between US and German. Not as stern as Germans but definitely not as happy as Americans. Its important to be genuine in life, don't grin if you are feeling sùicídăl.
I can get all that bakery stuff where I live in America, but the beer is where I agree 100% with you!
Thanks for sharing
I know this is a few years late to the party, but you are actually allowed to go 10% over the speed limit without incurring any violation BUT if you are caught (have a “family picture” taken as my wife calls it), you are cited for the full amount in excess of the posted speed limit. For example, if the limit is 100 and you’re caught doing 111, you get cited for 11 kph over the limit, not 1 kph over the limit.
thats still being fake lol
Hi,thank you for posting these videos.I'm in the process of figuring out how to move back to the States.I think as Ellie mentioned in her moving back video something about you could only really understand it after moving to Germany for an extended amount of time.The ideas and opinions you expressed really have made my day better now knowing that I am not alone in sharing a lot of theses same sentiments. I personally have had enough of the bureaucracy and the general feeling that you are not welcome as an American expat in the system even though there are lot's of people who are not doing what's required.It's not designed for American expats that's for sure...That's just my experience.
You guys are so cute so suess so suess zusammen!!!
The grading system online is more accurate and is applied in schools accordingly. However, the reason why your colleague or friend was disappointed could be because of two reasons. (1) he/she is very ambitious. (2) Ongoing Trend of "Kuschelnoten" (Pampering grades) at universities: It is an inflation of good grades for students to not drop out in fields which are not popular like MINT/STEM. It is difficult to differentiate then from others but usually in those fields the grades don't matter anyway. You will get a job anyway. I studied Chemistry (Diploma), Applied Computer Science (Bachelor) and Math (only two Semesters while studying Chemistry). In Math, it wasn't easy to get good grades, it was hard work but in the former it was pretty easy and if you looked at the board there was definitely not a normal distribution over the grade spectrum.
which is your favorite, if Hohenzollern isn't?
