I have not lived in Germany since 1967. I was an" Army Brat" and I had a German step mom, who raised me. I lived in Bad Tolz and Berlin from 1953-1967. I am going to try to translate this comment. Here I go... I find it very nice to hear the (your) enthusiasm you have about living in Germany. Your (no not know this word) brings me to understanding not just seeing. I looked up the word and it translates to perception...so I think the sentence means, "Your perception allows me to see things in a new way." How did I do.
You are here since 2014? So I am a tick late to give you a warm welcome to my country! Anyway: I am blown away by your enthusiasm, wide open eyes and positive attitude. Thanks for helping me re-focus on some really great aspects of living in and being a German
Nudity.....most importantly liberating for kids under 10! In the US I got angrily reminded to go with my 3 years old son at the time to the (gross) changing rooms to change him after swimming lessons! Since the changing room was so gross I changed him after that encounter under a towel..nothing was exposed....but the people and the staff at the pool got even more angry with me that I changed him under a towel wrapped around his hips! Ridiculous! Great video!
Conversation with an American of religious leanings - he was complaining about the nude brach he had seen in Australia. I agrred "That's right! If we wete meant to be naked we would have been born that way!" I walked away as his whole staff roared laughing!
Yeah,but if you had seven guns,14 hand granades and two rocket launchers with you,they would think it's completely appropriate.By the way,USA hypocricy is no.1 on this planet.
If you want to get to know the Germans, you have to join a club. Not only sports, model making, singing, tasting beer, dog club, social projects, etc. all activities take place there. If three Germans meet with the same interests, then set up one club. First chairman, secretary, treasurer, an imaginative name, that's all it takes. ;-)
I just looooove how every time you talk about something you really love your eyes shine. That makes me feel that I definitely choose a good country for my family :)
🥰♥️ I also am so proud to raise my son here! There’s pros and cons everywhere! But at the end of the day, I really think the quality of life here is amazing

Excellent video with many good points about Germany. Also Recycling, religion stays out of politics and culture, cleaner cities and the streets are well maintained, four (or more) weeks paid vacation per year, strong unions, workers have more rights, excellent public transportation system.
I am from Lahr, black forest. In the 70. - 90. Years whe had more than 10.000 soldiers in Lahr on the Air Base. It was a very good Time!!! I was a joung Boy, that Time, Ich kann mich daran gut erinnern, für uns waren die Kanadier, mit ihren tollen Autos und Motorrädern die Helden. Später haben wir unsere Kanadischen Mieter, Freunde in Kanada besucht. Das war eine sehr schöne Zeit!!! in Kanada. Wenn uns jemand gefragt hat wo wir herkommen, und wir gesagt haben Lahr, Black Forrest wussten alle Bescheid, fast so wie Berlin.
Alanis Morissette hat in unserem Dorf gewohnt, Friesenheim/ Heiligenzell. Wir hatten damals Schüleraustausch mit den kanadischen Schülern, da hab ich sie als junges Mädchen ein paar mal gesprochen und kennengelernt, nice Girl!

I'm always irritated by the prices in Canada. You pack the products by reasonable prices and then they add governmental and provincial taxes and it got expensive.
Hi..i check out your video(on tv) at the moment and i thought about those massive cereal options..found it weird as i lived in the us..i think they co-operate with the pharma industry because for me it screams DIABETES..of course that's bs but everything is so sweet i couldn't stand it. I am happy for you being happy here..Good having you!
Sugar is everywhere in Germany too. Unless you go to the health food store (Bioladen). But that's a footnote. It is always a surprise to see your positive charisma. Very surprising, hey in Germany you have to be offended. Always. OK, this is a joke. Regarding ice cream: yes. It's only real ice cream if it's made by an Italian.
Thank you so much that you have experienced nudism/sauna in Germany and understand what it is. It's so hard to explain to foreigners what that really is if they don't use to it. Many think's there are orgies etc. :D :D
Hahaha I know what you mean! I thought it was so strange at first but I really admire the way people view nudity in Germany. Not as a sex symbol but simply skin, our bodies, whatever! I feel so much more comfortable in my body in Germany than I ever did in Canada!!
Hey there sending my love from Frankfurt you go girl you're making me enjoy Germany eaven though I'm home sick and miss my home in Scarborough toronto...by the way simce you live in Düsseldorf do you happen to work for the canadian consulat there ?
Hey there! Thanks so much! ♥️ I feel you on the homesick front... really starting to hit me hard now 🥺 just wish I had my Mama with me here in Germany! Nope! don’t work for the consulate, but that would be cool!!
I realy think everybody like you is very welcome here. You are Open minded. And you don't want to establish your culture here in Germany. You want to combine both I suppose.. there will be advantages for both cultures. Unfortunately I don't know you in Person but you seemed to be a very symphatic Person. Thats what I think because of your videos und the feeling i get from these Videos. I am following your Videos in oder to keep my english alive.
Thanks so much 🥰 I also think it’s so important to find ways to keep your roots but also integrate into a new country! For example, I mix Canadian and German traditions for my son - Christmas, Easter, etc. So he gets best of both worlds! 🥰♥️
@@lifeingermany_ your children will have a priceless advantage for the Future. They will grow up bilingual and they will have Support by openminded parents. So what can be better?. They will have two mother languages and They will be able to concentrate in learning a third language.
About the Vereine and their affordability, Vereine (e.V.) in germany are not for profit. If they make profit they will loose their special tax status, so sponsor or donors are not allowed to deducte their own taxes with the donation they make. Thats why in germany the fees for a Vereinsmitgliedschaft (clubmembership)are quiet low. In our club (fussball) it comes down to 0,80 € for an hour of training or games. We offer 2-3 times training for 90 minutes and the league games on weekend.
Aww. Good reasons. I would actually buy that nylon string guitar if it was good, next to that little Schafe at 13:25. The public transportation point is just a great one, as Europe is at your doorstep. It’s so convenient and cheap to travel, especially throughout Germany or to other amazing and close locations. Especially in size and price comparison to the US and Canada. They are just so damn big, ne? Let alone the bad transportation.
One reason they "don't market the shit out of the products" is that there are some rules of mandatory labelling, covering visibility etc in EU, so you can see info in an easy standardised way. And sometimes country rules go even beyond that.
I remember watching American series with people eating ice cream in front of their TV and I was finding it weird indeed. Not that it doesn't happen at all, but here in Europe it's indeed an outdoors activity you do with friends on a nice day.
Ich mag deine Videos so go ahead ach ja by the way nochmals dein Deutsch ist super. Hier gibt es Menschen, die leben seit 10-20-30-40 Jahre hier und sprechen kein Deutsch oder so übel, das man es nicht glauben will wie lange die sich der deutschen Sprache verweigert haben. Die Sprache eines Landes zu lernen, so gut es geht, in dem ich Lebe hat was mit Respekt zu tun.
🥰♥️ vielen vielen lieben Dank! I still have a long way to go to learn perfect German! But hope when my son goes to Grundschule then I’ll learn with him 🤣🤣🤣
Since your "body liberation" took place...did you already explore the naturist's areas at Angermunder See or Himmelgeist at the banks of the river rhine...? ;-)) C U... :-D In the Netherlands close to the german border are great spots too... (Isabellagriend, near Roermond).
Yap sportsclubs are very affordable. My oldest daughter is joining an American Football Club and it costs only 9.90 € per month. By the way, thanks for showing us Germans how incredible our country is. I think we don't see the all the very good sometimes tiny things which our country offer's to us, because we were born in to it and so we used to it. Thank you again ☺️
Joining a club is not only serving your own interests but is also a great place to make friends. regardless what nationality you have. but i'm pretty sure you have already made this experience
I would like to join more clubs too! I was always so nervous because there’s actually not that many internationals in German clubs, I think perhaps for the same reason - they’re scared people won’t accept them
Thanks for the video, sometimes I don't really know what is special for my home country. And don't be shy to join ANY club you would like, I'm sure they will be happy to have you there and the language won't be a big problem. Just try it! (OK after the pandemic.) If you don't like it you can still quitt and look for another club.
I just posted a video yesterday talking about the healthcare actually! They're both EXCELLENT to be honest... but when I'm referring to my kids, I do like the German healthcare system better (mostly based on waiting times and the look and feel of the clinics around germany).
@@lifeingermany_ that sounds better than most people say. I'm thinking about moving to Canada but the waiting times for the doctor make me worry a lot and keep me away from doing it. Thanks for your great content. :)
@@Julina-yh6qs 🥰 I wouldn’t worry too much! It just takes some extra work finding one! But it doesn’t make it not worth it and you definitely don’t need to be scared! 🫶

I really, really like ice cream. Yup, Germany is the place I need to live. Learn the cool language, eat as much ice cream as I can and not actually get fat cause I will bike everywhere. Seems like a great time to me.
Was it hard starting to learn german and sticking with it or you had it easier cus of husband's help? Do you speak it daily or you both communicate in english?? Love to you both ❤ 😎
It was hard learning and sticking to it for sure! Mostly because of the lack of confidence I had! My husband isn’t the most patient 😅 so I didn’t learn much from him hahaha
hi, im not sure but i think you need to post anywhere on your video that its Werbung. Nicht dass du noch probleme bekommst, du weißt ja mittlerweile bestimmt, wir leben in deutschland und hier ist alles streng geregelt😂✌
Hahaha das stimmt! Ich habe es selber in das Video geschrieben, auch “gesagt” und auch beim RUclips muss du ein checkbox ☑️ ticken zu sagen das es gesponsert ist. 🙃 Ich hoffe das reicht! 🤣 weiß es nicht wie man kann das noch mehr erklären 🙈
@@lifeingermany_ viele haben das gesamte video lang werbung in einer ecke vom video stehen. Aber du kannst dich ja nochmal genau erkundige ob das ausreicht wie du es machst. Ich wollte nur mal bescheid geben damit du keine probleme bekommst, tolle videos weiter so 👍😊
Tolle Videos, es sollten alle ewig meckernden Deutschen schauen. Man bekommt einen neuen Blick auf das eigene Land! Es ist sicher nicht alles gut, aber vieles...
European countries are deperately looking for foreigners. Most of these countries have special programs to support people willing to move to their country. Some will not only give you assistance in learning the language, find a home and a job, and bureaucratic stuff; they will even pay you money or will grant you things for less or even free that other (local) people have to pay for. If you ever thougth about moving to Europe, it might be the best time now to do so.
Im Moment wird gerade das Tiffany abgerissen, in Lahr, ein etwas zwielichtiges Etablissement, deswegen musste damals der kanadische Außenminister, zurücktreten. Der Name ist mir im Moment nicht mehr bekannt!
Great that you discovered the European approach on nudity and can embrace and enjoy its benefits. Baring it all on a beach is indeed something you have to experience yourself to feel how liberating it is. You are lucky living in Düsseldorf, having the Unterbacher See Südstrand with its nude sectionnext door, don't know if you had a chance to visit before the pandemic. Make sure you check it out if you haven't.
Die Südwestpfalz finde ich ist eine Reise wert. Der südliche Teil des Pfälzerwald, auch Wasgau genannt, nahe bei der französischen Grenze ist wunderschön. Als Ausgangspunkt für tägliche Wanderrouten würde ich die kleine Stadt Dahn empfehlen. Es gibt da neben dem Wald selbst viele Buntsandsteinfelsen und Höhenburgen zu sehen. Ich bin da aufgewachsen und vermisse es sehr.
If you want to see a really nice part of Germany you should visit the Teutoburg Forest, especially Externsteine and Hermannsdenkmal, near Detmold! It's not too far from Düsseldorf and the nicer part of Northrhine-Westfalia, in my opinion! 😉😁
You know.. I’ve been meaning to get there for 5 years now 😂 even booked hotels and campsites and for some reason it always ends up getting cancelled! So strange! ONE DAY I will make it there! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
@@lifeingermany_ In the little city Lemgo, which is also in Ostwestfalen-Lippe you can get Strohsemmel (bread rolls [Brötchen] ) in the Strate Bakery or some other Bakeries! The Strohsemmel are unique, because you can just get them in Lemgo, nowhere else in the world and they are baked on straw! I think they are really tasty! 👍
Good morning Jenna, very nice to start the Sunday with you, especially if you look so happy. It gives me a good feeling for the rest of the day. If traveling is possible again, the islands of Rügen and Usedom offering some nice, clean nude beaches i can highly recommend, beside of the beauty of these islands. And Usedom is the area with the most hours of sunshine in Germany, it's called the sunshine island 🌻☀️ Haters gonna hate, don't feed the troll, it's not worth it and actually a waste of time. The option to buy something second hand is something i really appreciate, we waste so many things and the waste of clothes is one of the biggest issues we have. Clubs are one of my favourite tip of becoming contact and making friends with Germans, as you said it, Germany has club's for almost everything, even for cats and dog owners, if you have a pet at home it can be an opportunity and in your region is carnival a wonderful way to find new friends in and outside of work. Thanks for your lovely video. Have a nice Sunday 🍀☕☀️😎🍦
Sonnigste Städte Deutschlands - wo gibt es die meisten Sonnenstunden? Freiburg im Breisgau zählt die meisten Sonnenstunden in Deutschland, nämlich 1740 im Jahr. ... Platz 2: Nürnberg. ... Platz 3: Augsburg. ... Platz 3: Stuttgart. ... Platz 5: Karlsruhe. ... Platz 6: Rostock. ... Platz 7: München. ... Platz 8: Ludwigshafen.
some things to say as a former german (now canadien). 1. cops in every corner (yes, they go by the book but that is not in your favor) 2. you can not even go fishing without a license and a test 3. not much nature left untouched with 85 million people 4. fascists on the rise (ok, that is almost everywhere the same) 5. autobahn? that is a moneymaker for cops , not a free ride ,traffic jams and radar everywhere. 6. many nice things to see but do not look behind the curtain of working class people. 7. healthcare is good but never get unemployed, they will force you in every shit job they have with a system called hartz4 . it takes away your healthcare , if you do not comply you are considered not searching for a job. the list can go on and on, just be careful what you wish for.

It's so hard to explain to foreigners what that really is if they don't use to it.
Many think's there are orgies etc. :D :D
Hahaha I know what you mean! I thought it was so strange at first but I really admire the way people view nudity in Germany. Not as a sex symbol but simply skin, our bodies, whatever! I feel so much more comfortable in my body in Germany than I ever did in Canada!!
U r so sweet😍 feels so good listening to u. Love your vlogs❤
Thank you SO much! 🥰♥️
It means a lot! Admits the many trolls on YT, sometimes it’s hard to stay positive! 🙈 comments like yours keep me motivated!
@@lifeingermany_ 🥰
At least in the US there are no frills grocery stores too.
Next year com join us in Straubing (Bavaria) for the gäubodenvolksfest! Just like the "wiesn" but less touristy 🤣🍻
I don’t know what that is, but I LOVE IT ALREADY! Hahaha I’m a huge fan of german festivals!
@@lifeingermany_ "wiesn" is Oktoberfest in Bavarian Mundart/slang ;-)
Hey there sending my love from Frankfurt you go girl you're making me enjoy Germany eaven though I'm home sick and miss my home in Scarborough toronto...by the way simce you live in Düsseldorf do you happen to work for the canadian consulat there ?
Hey there! Thanks so much! ♥️ I feel you on the homesick front... really starting to hit me hard now 🥺 just wish I had my Mama with me here in Germany!
Nope! don’t work for the consulate, but that would be cool!!
I realy think everybody like you is very welcome here. You are Open minded. And you don't want to establish your culture here in Germany. You want to combine both I suppose.. there will be advantages for both cultures. Unfortunately I don't know you in Person but you seemed to be a very symphatic Person. Thats what I think because of your videos und the feeling i get from these Videos. I am following your Videos in oder to keep my english alive.
Thanks so much 🥰 I also think it’s so important to find ways to keep your roots but also integrate into a new country! For example, I mix Canadian and German traditions for my son - Christmas, Easter, etc. So he gets best of both worlds! 🥰♥️
@@lifeingermany_ your children will have a priceless advantage for the Future. They will grow up bilingual and they will have Support by openminded parents. So what can be better?. They will have two mother languages and They will be able to concentrate in learning a third language.
If you like you can give me a short Feedback in my english writing.
@@stefanweigl4608 ohhh I hope so 🥰🥰 I wish I grew up bilingual! Learning German in my 20’s has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to do 🤣
@@lifeingermany_ so you learned German when you was in canada in school? Five years ago😉😉😉😄😄😄😄😄
Thank You ! Love your video!
About the Vereine and their affordability, Vereine (e.V.) in germany are not for profit. If they make profit they will loose their special tax status, so sponsor or donors are not allowed to deducte their own taxes with the donation they make. Thats why in germany the fees for a Vereinsmitgliedschaft (clubmembership)are quiet low. In our club (fussball) it comes down to 0,80 € for an hour of training or games. We offer 2-3 times training for 90 minutes and the league games on weekend.
Great video.
Aww. Good reasons. I would actually buy that nylon string guitar if it was good, next to that little Schafe at 13:25. The public transportation point is just a great one, as Europe is at your doorstep. It’s so convenient and cheap to travel, especially throughout Germany or to other amazing and close locations. Especially in size and price comparison to the US and Canada. They are just so damn big, ne? Let alone the bad transportation.
Absolutely! And yes North America is sooo massive it’s just hard to get around and really explore!
One reason they "don't market the shit out of the products" is that there are some rules of mandatory labelling, covering visibility etc in EU, so you can see info in an easy standardised way. And sometimes country rules go even beyond that.
I remember watching American series with people eating ice cream in front of their TV and I was finding it weird indeed. Not that it doesn't happen at all, but here in Europe it's indeed an outdoors activity you do with friends on a nice day.
Ich mag deine Videos so go ahead ach ja by the way nochmals dein Deutsch ist super. Hier gibt es Menschen, die leben seit 10-20-30-40 Jahre hier und sprechen kein Deutsch oder so übel, das man es nicht glauben will wie lange die sich der deutschen Sprache verweigert haben.
Die Sprache eines Landes zu lernen, so gut es geht, in dem ich Lebe hat was mit Respekt zu tun.
🥰♥️ vielen vielen lieben Dank! I still have a long way to go to learn perfect German! But hope when my son goes to Grundschule then I’ll learn with him 🤣🤣🤣
@@lifeingermany_ .............I have no doubt that you will succeed.
Since your "body liberation" took place...did you already explore the naturist's areas at Angermunder See or Himmelgeist at the banks of the river rhine...? ;-)) C U... :-D
In the Netherlands close to the german border are great spots too... (Isabellagriend, near Roermond).
Haha I haven’t been in DUS yet!!! But often in Rügen 😝 where I know no one will ever recognize me 🙈🙈
@@lifeingermany_ 😉😊😁
Fun fact:of course discounters want to safe money,but also they present their items"cheap" so the customer assumes :this must be cheap!
I Love "Flohmärkte" too 😉👍❗
Tolles Video! :)
Danke ☺️
Great Video
funny last point 🤣
Haha thanks 🥰🥰
Yap sportsclubs are very affordable. My oldest daughter is joining an American Football Club and it costs only 9.90 € per month. By the way, thanks for showing us Germans how incredible our country is. I think we don't see the all the very good sometimes tiny things which our country offer's to us, because we were born in to it and so we used to it. Thank you again ☺️
American football huh?! Well I guess she's paying with her brain cells additionally to those 9.90
@@user-ve7hn2dh8h but your answer is high educated standard. 👍 62519
Joining a club is not only serving your own interests but is also a great place to make friends. regardless what nationality you have. but i'm pretty sure you have already made this experience
I would like to join more clubs too! I was always so nervous because there’s actually not that many internationals in German clubs, I think perhaps for the same reason - they’re scared people won’t accept them
Thanks for the video, sometimes I don't really know what is special for my home country. And don't be shy to join ANY club you would like, I'm sure they will be happy to have you there and the language won't be a big problem. Just try it! (OK after the pandemic.) If you don't like it you can still quitt and look for another club.
Oh and I forgot, your German at the end and your accent (is this the right spelling?) is perfect!
As another German-Canadian couple partially living on both countries, we couldn’t agree more with your points !!!
Hello, so happy that I found your channel. Is the healthcare system better in Canada or in Germany? I've heard many different opinions on that.
I just posted a video yesterday talking about the healthcare actually! They're both EXCELLENT to be honest... but when I'm referring to my kids, I do like the German healthcare system better (mostly based on waiting times and the look and feel of the clinics around germany).
@@lifeingermany_ that sounds better than most people say. I'm thinking about moving to Canada but the waiting times for the doctor make me worry a lot and keep me away from doing it. Thanks for your great content. :)
@@Julina-yh6qs 🥰 I wouldn’t worry too much! It just takes some extra work finding one! But it doesn’t make it not worth it and you definitely don’t need to be scared! 🫶
@@lifeingermany_ well I have a little baby and to have to wait for a surgery or so would just destroy me. Or is that unrealistic? Thank you for your kind words :)
do you care to share where the flea market is in Düsseldorf?? Danke😊
Jenna, you are so astonishing lovely and polite, please convince Ryan Reynolds, The Hooters, Alannis Morrissette, Alannah Myles, all your famous Hockey-Pros, lovely Justin (Trudeau, Not the inevitable Braver) and Robin Sherbatzky to settle over from abroad
Hihi, love the "Robin Sherbatzky" insider reference...😁
Ice cream parlors (Eisdielen) are still mostly run by "Italians" and the rules are relatively strict.
I really, really like ice cream. Yup, Germany is the place I need to live. Learn the cool language, eat as much ice cream as I can and not actually get fat cause I will bike everywhere. Seems like a great time to me.
I love your videos 😁❤️
Was it hard starting to learn german and sticking with it or you had it easier cus of husband's help? Do you speak it daily or you both communicate in english?? Love to you both ❤ 😎
It was hard learning and sticking to it for sure! Mostly because of the lack of confidence I had! My husband isn’t the most patient 😅 so I didn’t learn much from him hahaha
I speak German quite regularly now which definitely makes it much easier 🤩
@@lifeingermany_ Mach doch mit Deinem Mann einen "Deutsch-Dienstag", an diesem Tag in der Woche wird nur Deutsch miteinander gesprochen.
Good video
Please use time stamps when offering a list. Thanks.
I do now 🙃 I just haven’t had time to go back on old videos! Will eventually though!
nice one dear
In which region in Germany do you live? Because not all regions treat each other the way you described it.
I love how you say germany 😊
Korb is correct, means "basket"
U should start making vlogs
I actually said that once I reach 10,000 subs I’ll start making some vlogs and getting more personal 🥰 well, I finally hit 10,000!! Soooo… stay tuned!

hi, im not sure but i think you need to post anywhere on your video that its Werbung. Nicht dass du noch probleme bekommst, du weißt ja mittlerweile bestimmt, wir leben in deutschland und hier ist alles streng geregelt😂✌
Hahaha das stimmt! Ich habe es selber in das Video geschrieben, auch “gesagt” und auch beim RUclips muss du ein checkbox ☑️ ticken zu sagen das es gesponsert ist. 🙃
Ich hoffe das reicht! 🤣 weiß es nicht wie man kann das noch mehr erklären 🙈
@@lifeingermany_ viele haben das gesamte video lang werbung in einer ecke vom video stehen. Aber du kannst dich ja nochmal genau erkundige ob das ausreicht wie du es machst. Ich wollte nur mal bescheid geben damit du keine probleme bekommst, tolle videos weiter so 👍😊

Haha ♥️♥️ ich mag kein Kaffee und trinke auch kein Cola oder Rotwein! Denn rest kommt von Genetik glaube ich! 😝
would you recommend any good sauna spas in Germany?
Netherlands are flat and...small.perfect for bikes,they always had a huge bike culture.
And to up the ante here: if we all go back to where we came from imagine the huste of over 8 billion people living south to the sahara desert...😉
Tolle Videos, es sollten alle ewig meckernden Deutschen schauen. Man bekommt einen neuen Blick auf das eigene Land! Es ist sicher nicht alles gut, aber vieles...
🥰🥰🥰
I just wondered🤔are bikes a royal thing? I like to ride my bicycle... Queen, nur Genießer fahren Fahrrad... Die Prinzen
How can folks make it work financially to come to germany and learn the language for a year and then go to school?
European countries are deperately looking for foreigners. Most of these countries have special programs to support people willing to move to their country. Some will not only give you assistance in learning the language, find a home and a job, and bureaucratic stuff; they will even pay you money or will grant you things for less or even free that other (local) people have to pay for.
If you ever thougth about moving to Europe, it might be the best time now to do so.
Im Moment wird gerade das Tiffany abgerissen, in Lahr, ein etwas zwielichtiges Etablissement, deswegen musste damals der kanadische Außenminister, zurücktreten. Der Name ist mir im Moment nicht mehr bekannt!
What about travelling?
Often my #1 reason! 🥰🥰
sehr schön
Great that you discovered the European approach on nudity and can embrace and enjoy its benefits. Baring it all on a beach is indeed something you have to experience yourself to feel how liberating it is.
You are lucky living in Düsseldorf, having the Unterbacher See Südstrand with its nude sectionnext door, don't know if you had a chance to visit before the pandemic. Make sure you check it out if you haven't.
I have! It’s also a great tip if the beaches are over crowded 🤣 the nude beach section almost always has free space and chairs!
@@lifeingermany_ and the kids love it because of all the gear that is provided - the little 'dunno the English term' Tretboot and stuff (treadboat?)
@@nilsmikloweit3974 ahhh yes! Pedal boat in English ☺️
Die Südwestpfalz finde ich ist eine Reise wert. Der südliche Teil des Pfälzerwald, auch Wasgau genannt, nahe bei der französischen Grenze ist wunderschön. Als Ausgangspunkt für tägliche Wanderrouten würde ich die kleine Stadt Dahn empfehlen. Es gibt da neben dem Wald selbst viele Buntsandsteinfelsen und Höhenburgen zu sehen. Ich bin da aufgewachsen und vermisse es sehr.
It's true, my first ice-cream in Germany was almost a revelation. Nudity on a German beach , hey, show off *all* your goose-pimples :-)
If you want to see a really nice part of Germany you should visit the Teutoburg Forest, especially Externsteine and Hermannsdenkmal, near Detmold! It's not too far from Düsseldorf and the nicer part of Northrhine-Westfalia, in my opinion! 😉😁
You know.. I’ve been meaning to get there for 5 years now 😂 even booked hotels and campsites and for some reason it always ends up getting cancelled! So strange! ONE DAY I will make it there! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
@@lifeingermany_ In the little city Lemgo, which is also in Ostwestfalen-Lippe you can get Strohsemmel (bread rolls [Brötchen] ) in the Strate Bakery or some other Bakeries! The Strohsemmel are unique, because you can just get them in Lemgo, nowhere else in the world and they are baked on straw! I think they are really tasty! 👍
Not a chance in hell. I am from Australia and live in Germany. Counting down the days till I got back to Aus.
Good morning Jenna,
very nice to start the Sunday with you, especially if you look so happy.
It gives me a good feeling for the rest of the day.
If traveling is possible again, the islands of Rügen and Usedom offering some nice, clean nude beaches i can highly recommend, beside of the beauty of these islands.
And Usedom is the area with the most hours of sunshine in Germany, it's called the sunshine island 🌻☀️
Haters gonna hate, don't feed the troll, it's not worth it and actually a waste of time.
The option to buy something second hand is something i really appreciate, we waste so many things and the waste of clothes is one of the biggest issues we have.
Clubs are one of my favourite tip of becoming contact and making friends with Germans, as you said it, Germany has club's for almost everything, even for cats and dog owners, if you have a pet at home it can be an opportunity and in your region is carnival a wonderful way to find new friends in and outside of work.
Thanks for your lovely video.
Have a nice Sunday 🍀☕☀️😎🍦
Thanks so much for your lovely comment 🥰🥰🤩 hope you have an amazing Sunday morning!!!

It is necessary to know German language to live there otherwise difficult to get job.
Yeah, I agree ☝️
oooo i can hear a little german accent coming through here and there.

I love germany
some things to say as a former german (now canadien). 1. cops in every corner (yes, they go by the book but that is not in your favor) 2. you can not even go fishing without a license and a test 3. not much nature left untouched with 85 million people 4. fascists on the rise (ok, that is almost everywhere the same) 5. autobahn? that is a moneymaker for cops , not a free ride ,traffic jams and radar everywhere. 6. many nice things to see but do not look behind the curtain of working class people. 7. healthcare is good but never get unemployed, they will force you in every shit job they have with a system called hartz4 . it takes away your healthcare , if you do not comply you are considered not searching for a job.
the list can go on and on, just be careful what you wish for.
Is bikini so common there?i mean German take it normally or do they give a harsh look
