ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 29, 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 :)

Which style of Lederhosen and Dirndls do you guys like best? 🤔I personally like shorter Dirndls on myself since I'm not very tall but I like the short Lederhosen that end above the knee! 😊
*Enter the giveaway* here instagram.com/p/Cw0Vk3ELQOc/ to win a Dirndl and an entire Lederhosen outfit from Bavaria Trachten!
I prefer the short Lederhosen, but I do have the longer, below the knee as well. Being over 2 meters tall, it was not easy to find some that fit me though!! Hemden are even harder to find!! I wish I could go this year, but it will have to wait. Tschuss!
Do the villages each have their own Tract style, especially for the women?
Definetely short Lederhosen if you are in younger age. Long Lederhosen fits for me for older (>50y.) People. I like to wear short Lederhosen with a swiss Edelweiss-Hemd and Converes as shoes, brings a bit modern into it.
How do I get in contact with you
Question just out of curiosity: What would locals think if someone shows up at the Oktoberfest wearing a different but authentic Tracht - like a Frisian Tracht for example?
Went to Oktoberfest in 2017.. being from a village in Kentucky, naturally I went with a hillbilly twist.. “Denimhosen”.. lopped off the legs of a pair of denim overalls , flannel undershirt… it was better received than I anticipated.. great time!
It’s that time of year Feli’s annual “Please don’t make my culture a costume” vid lol
Nah she just wants to make money off you doing so
@@drewpamon As a German myself being not from Bavaria, I can assure you, that for Bavarians everything concerning Oktoberfest and Trachten comes straight from the heart. I’m pretty sure, she would promote an authentic Trachten-shop even if she wouldn‘t be getting paid for it. It hurts Münchner physically to see those Karneval costumes.
@@christophb2736 as a bavarian i agree with you.. cultural appropriation is completely fine if the tracht is authentic.. A cheap Halloween costume feels like mocking my culture.
@@drewpamon dumbass
@@ClaudiaG.1979I am Swiss, not German or Bavarian. I would never insult an other people's culture by wearing such a Halloween mockery of traditional garb!
Das ist ja zum fremdschämen!
Definitely a traditional garment is not some offensive Halloween costume. I’m mostly Scottish ancestry and I have a proper Scottish Kilt. It’s not a dress or some Halloween costume. Always be respectful when wearing a traditional garment of clothing that is a traditional garment of clothing to a region and nationality and ethnic tradition of a group of people.
Should be common sense...
Yeah as someone of mixed German, Scotland, Ireland and England Ancestry should I wear a custom made "Leder Kilt?".😂
How can she be so happy all the time!
It's definitely on my bucket list! I'm taking notes! Enjoy, Feli and Ben! 🙂
You can buy tracht in Canada too.
In Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, we have the largest Oktoberfest outside of Munich. The festival is two weeks in October, centered around Canadian Thanksgiving, but we have many shops available for all cultural Bavarian fare all year long.
There are also five traditional German clubs in K-W and they too, can provide tract.
Awesome celebration, love your Country! my group of 9 friends is now on day 3. Your videos were very helpful!
Not wearing a Trachten is totally fine because the Octoberfests in Germany are originally meant for the working class where people could go wearing their work clothes. So people from the country side used to visit the fest in traditional garments.
Lederhosen were very common to be worn at farmer‘s work due to their sturdiness.
lederhosen is/was workwear, so don't really undwrstand your catch, ubless you misundwrstand thw whole concept of wearing trachtenkleider
*Octoberfest, there was only one
I adore Feli. She is beautiful inside and out. She seems so vivacious and happy and kind that I can't help but get a beaming smile every time I see her face.
As a Cincinnati native, I've been going to the Cincinnati Oktoberfest for years and have always wanted to invest (at some point) in a decent pair of Lederhosen. I've also always wanted to experience Okterberfest in Munich, so this video is the perfect guide to both! Thanks for the advice!
My husband and I got Trachten last year for the first time and we LOVE it! Great quality and I love my Dirndl even without the apron as a dress!
Those are sooo beautiful! And not just for Oktoberfest. They look like really, really nice clothes.
I went this last Sunday and had a blast, it was my first time ever going haha such a wild ride!
Several of our NY platter vereine were extras in the movie "Enchanted" in the Central Park scene. I couldn't get off work. They are in the credits and still get residual checks. Our club's plattlerhosen are from Chiemgau, and are smooth and thinner, allowing for a sharper sound. There is no embroidery on the leg. Even more comfortable to wear. We treat them with beeswax and the get shiny. There is a club in Cleveland. Look up Gauverband Nordamerika.
Thank you for the video. I can't wait for the next show.
This is true also in here Brazil haha we have our own little Oktoberfest in my town, my native language is Hunsrik, which basically is German with some Portuguese influence. Have you ever heard of it? I wonder if German people know much about ethnic German people in Brazil
There are millions of Brazilian and American people of German ancestory.
There are millions of Lebanese origin as well and in early 20 th century were called Turko because there was Ottoman or Turkish empire control at that time ...
I had never even thought of Brazil having a large German population. Portuguese yes, but a Brazilian Oktoberfest!?
I guess I shouldn't be so surprised because the largest immigrant group in the US is German, so why not South America?
@@randalmayeux8880
A lot of Germans immigrated to South America including Argentine as I have read once ...
Thank you will come in handy this weekend 😅 can’t wait
Not specific to Oktoberfest nor even Munich, but I saw a video about Austria. Before the war, in Austria most Trachten were sold in Jewish-owned stores but Jews were not allowed to wear them. That's why it was a pleasant surprise to see that Muenchners today actually like when foreigners wear authentic Trachten.
In Bavaria too, it was made popular by two German-Jewish shop owners, they were from more North of Germany, but moved to Bavaria and fell in love with the local traditional clothes, so they opened a shop selling them and they became popular. You can also see many German-Jewish people wearing trachten before the war/Nazis came to power. I have family photos like this.
As an Italian completely in love with Bavaria I'm missing oktoberfest soooo much, the last time I've been there was on 2018, this year will be my first time as a married man and I will go with my lovely wife, I CAN'T WAIT ❤
One tip from me as a local: Never go with your girlfriend. That could lead to big relationship drama when you flirt or have too much eye contact with someone. 😂😂😂 It‘s better to go there alone. Like we locals always say: What happens at Oktoberfest stays there.😅
@@timtom8679 thank you for the tip 🤣 i will try to concentrate on my beer 😁
My husband and I will be going to Oktoberfest this year for the first time, and we can't wait!!! Probably Sept 24 and/or 25!
Feli your dirndl looks gorgeous!!
Wow! I’m so excited! I’d love details!
We wore Trachten during our wedding last August. It was a dream come true ❤
I really like the jacket that Ben was wearing last year! Very cool!
We are leaving on the 25th. Thanks so much for all the tips!
I have been lucky to go to Oktoberfest twice,. First time in the 80s while I was in my 20s and the second time in 2018 while I was in my 50s. It was great both times and nice to experience the festival in different phases of my life.
My wife and I just got back from Germany-Austria-Italy tour in May.
I now have had a beer in BOTH locations of the Hofbrau Haus...Newport Kentucky & Munich Germany
Yes! This is amazing. I love how you make all of your videos fun to watch. You have a great voice, and you are putting it to good use! Keep being amazing!
Congratulations, u get to go back & go to the Oktoberfest! It sounds like a great time!
I’m so excited! I will be going to my First Octoberfest in Munich!
My son loved his 90 days in Germany ! Just returned yesterday
I was at Oktoberfest last week with another tour group and was looking for Feli!
Octoberfest is a blast if you do it right
The blue blouse was beautiful, I hope there's a blue lederhosen like that, Id buy it. Being hawaiian I think id look off and stand out in a bad way lol but I want to visit Wiesn in Germany so bad now, it looks awesome.
Thank you Feli. . This was informative.. Greatly appreciated/
Paul Soter & Erik Stolhanske once caused a melee which brought down an Oktoberfest tent back in 2006!
Yes Ben had a nice outfit. Feli your dirndl dress was beautiful ❤️
I hope you and your boyfriend and family have a wonderful Oktoberfest God bless ❤
wow yes great detail of the clothes
Born and raised in der Rheinland-Pfalz but I live in Oklahoma now. I grew up around wine not Beer but I do still have my Dirndl from 20 years ago!!! Ich liebe Tradition ❤ viel Spaß in der Heimat!!!
Liebe Grüße von Rheinland-Pfalz (bei Bad Kreuznach) in die USA! 🙂
@@barbarafrings9231 🥰 awww viele liebe Grüße zurück
Great video Feli, thanks for the Trachten lesson. I didn't know the left and right side for the bow had significance. The insert at that point also showed front and rear positions, what do they mean?
Off the subject - what happened to the American flag that used to be behind you? I have always enjoyed seeing both of your "homelands" represented and I especially appreciated it when you corrected the placement of "Old Glory".
I am on a holiday in Germany right now and did buy my authenic Lederhosen, cant wait to go the festival in Munich, serr schön video as always, liebe Feli ❤❤
You both look great in the Dirndl and the Lederhosen suits you very well. I wish you a lot of fun at the Oktoberfest and your hometown Munich. Prost 👍🍺🥂
Been to Oktoberfest once as a teen in the early 90s, probably 92 or 93, still have the my 1L Spaten mug as a souvenir (probably should've paid more than the 5DM deposit for it) Would love to go back one day soon with some of the same friends as a reunion of our volleyball team!
Oooohhhh yeah!
Love your Oktoberfest videos
I loved the Oktoberfest 90-92 when I was stationed in Bamberg Germany. I also got to visit Sharpsburg Australia (Sound of Music)
I myself grew up as a child of two cultures Australian and German and always wished to have the traditional dress of Germany to wear
Heading to Oktoberfest for second weekend! First time since Covid. Have two styles of Trachten, one for each day.
I’ve seen you guys in their advertisements. I thought they look good. Thanks for this video, I’ll use this as good recommendation. I’ll be ordering soon!
Have fun and made an order on your online store.Ordered the German American T shirt showing my German heritage
Used to enjoy the local schutzenfest that were held in the area. Noticed you ginger bread heart in back ground. Seen loads of those over the years. Can't actually remember seeing one being eaten😂
Have fun❤ I'll miss your content. I seen you interview with german blogger. Move in on up❤ you go sister🎉
My wife and I will be in Munich for the second week. My fifth, her third and her first since we were stationed in Bayern 30 years ago. Can’t wait! It’ll be jeans…
If I were to make my own Drindl, would I need to use traditional German patterned fabrics, or could I use a hip plant patterned fabric? Would that be strange?
very authentic
Do the discounts 'count' if I'm going to Octoberfest in Minnesota, or is this just for going to Bavaria?
That's on my Bucket list as well. That and the fact Germany is somewhere I really want to visit. It is daft because I have been on the border several times. Could have had a day trip if nothing else..
I will be at Munich at the end of Sept and in Vienna and Bratislava in early October 😊
Feli you look amazing in a dirndl. well you amazing anyway but damn you rock all of them that you modeled. Enjoy your trip back home too!
I definitely agree with your significant other, Feli...you look gorgeous in your dirndl! 🥰
Amazing video 😊
Sounds very similar to all of the rules and customs regarding traditional Scottish attire, like the kilt. There are multiple books on the subject addressing how to properly wear the kilt. Are there books written about how to properly wear traditional German clothing?
You two are a great young couple. Maybe we will see a wedding video of y'all sometime. Howdy from Kansas!
Ser schon. If I was thinking about going to Bavaria, I would consider this. If I go back, it most likely be Emsland, just across the border from Holland.
Nice plug for clothing. lol Oktoberfest is huge in Leavenworth WA. Big big deal. People from all over the USA go there. 3 weekends worth of entertainment. While it obviously could not compete with the real deal in Munich, I am sure it would be worth checking out sometime for you and Ben. IF you wanted to check out a local cultures interpretation of the event. Then do a comparison video on it. Would be great to get a perspective from someone whom knows the real deal. Cheers.
Two hours from me. It really does feel like you're in the Alps because of the Cascade Mountains in the area. Leavenworth is in the valley.
feli, thanks for the fanservice
Just saw an article saying Tulsa, Oklahoma Oktoberfest voted top 5 in the country. What??? I moved here a few years ago but Covid kept it from happening for a couple of years. Ours is still more than a week away. Oct 19-22. This will be my first in Tulsa.
If you want to try a great Oktoberfest up in some gorgeous mountains at a ski resort, put Snowbird, Utah on your bucket list.
You could also wear your Trachten at German Fest in Milwaukee next July. 🙂
We bought our trachten at German Fest this summer. Did a test run wearing it as Das Fest the following weekend. I think we're ready for the main event. We leave for Munich next week. Can't wait!
I am going this year, travelling from Ireland, see you there LOL
I put together the mens traditional lederhosen outfit on that website. Everything shirt, pants, shoes, socks hat. Its about $400.
Love the video 🤙
As a kid back in the 70’s I was in a play the sound of music
I borrowed a pair of lederhosen for the play from mr Glass❤
Dang it I was going to just buy the Lederhosen but ended up buying a lot more! Thanks for the discount!
great to see you in your dirndl . you should wear it more often
I went to Munich Oktoberfest twice. It's a great time. 1982 and 1983
Because the title of your video addresses what _not_ to do in _Oktoberfest,_ and because you didn´t mention this matter therein, I take this to mean we all go to _Oktoberfest_ in October.
_Ein Prosit! Bis dann! G´suffa!_
Quick question, we’ll be arriving in Munich tomorrow, what’s the best beer tent to go to with a festive atmosphere? Or is it any tent? We dont have reservations, but plan on going there early, how early should we be? 10am ok? Celebrating my son’s 20th birthday and we opted for a father-son Oktoberfest trip!
The earlier you get, the better as far as crowding is concerned; I found that German locals go in the morning for breakfast, and the tourists begin trickling in as the clock advances. Which is the best? I don't know. It depends on which beer you prefer. Of all the times I went to at Wiesn (Oktoberfest), I wanted to go to the Hofbräu tent, because that is my favorite beer. But it was always too crowded to get into. Last time I went to the Löwenbräu tent, and I enjoyed it (the festbier, aka "superlager", or "Oktoberfest beer" was good-it's a lager with more flavor and higher alcohol content, around 6-point-something percent). In fact, I enjoyed every tent I visited (Paulaner, Augustliner, Hacker, etc). In my experience, one tent is as good as another, so like I said, it really depends on which beer you prefer. And although I never ate in any tent (other than a pretzel, sold by dames walking around within the tent), I believe there are variations on the food that is served. So you might want to check that out ahead of time and go to a tent which has the food you want (although it will be similar amongst the tents). There's one tent that serves wine, and it's called Poschner's. The beer there is Hacker-Pschorr (which is good). It's one of the smaller tents. You might not have a problem finding a seat in that one.
My town, Helen Georgia, has the Longest Oktoberfest in the world, which lasts for 2 months.
My Brother works at a coffee shop and this is the busy season for them, and it is a huge revenue generator.
That being said, it isn't as authentic as it is in the Motherland, but it's Americanized.
Having lived in Hall County, GA for 20 years, Helen's Oktoberfest is a joke.
Always appropriate at the Bavarian Festival in Frankenmuth Michigan USA
I'll be there between the 20th and the 24th! It would be great to meet you and Ben and have a Bier!!
@@RealFeliFromGermany-... I won?!? Really?!? Das ist wunderbar!!!
I was at Oktoberfest exactly one year ago from now and I’m definitely going next week
I went to Oktoberfest once, nursed a couple of liters over a period a few hours and was working on the third one. Went to the bathroom and then the ALCOHOL finally hit me. Had trouble leaving the stall and the place was closing.
I had a friend who wore this, but she had a shirt under it. I was wondering if they sold more modest Dirndl?
I have only been to Oktoberfest in Williamsburg Virginia the Old Country Busch Gardens, and in the Germany section of Epcot Disney World which has a really delicious German Buffet. That's as close to a real Oktoberfest that I have ever been.
I was going to go to the German buffet, but it was $50 each. 😢
I am German, when i was a little kid, my parents and me went to Orlando FL to the Disney Parks.. There was a German section and my dad tried to order his food in German.. Needless to say the waitress didnt understand any German at all and he had to order in english language.
@@fredflintstone1109 Yes I recently read that it was $50 now. The last time I was there at the German buffet in Epcot which was around ten years ago or so it was only like $24.99 a person. But I don't think I would pay $50 either.
@@ClaudiaG.1979 That's because the United States is an English-speaking Nation. You could find some German people in Pennsylvania that speak German but it's far less unlikely in Orlando.
@@jeffhampton2767 i know :) i just found it funny because my dad thought he is in a "german food court" so they must understand german..
We are going there in w weeks!
And I will be in Regensburg at the end of Octoberfest this year.
Should I go to my mother's homeland in 2 weeks, or wait until next year 🤔
I think it would be interesting to learn about German influences in music and social media/media for example famous composers directors who shaped some American movies and music today.
Damn I gotta go to Oktoberfest fest sometime, I would fit in even though I got more Irish and swedish.
I have a curious question, how do u feel about the US version of oktoberfest celebration
Moin Feli als Foodi würde mich interessieren was Ben über Eisbein/Haxen denkt und habt ihr an Silvester schon einmal Raclettabend gehabt?
Mein Schwager (dt) hat letztes Jahr eine Salzburgerin geheiratet. Das Brautpaar erschien in Tracht und Brautkleid und mänche Gäste aus Österreich hatten sogar mehrere Trachten und Dirndl dabei. Es gab zwar kein Dresscode aber im nachhinein bereue ich es nicht die Chance genutzt zu haben. Gut gemachte traditionelle Bekleidung sieht einfach umwerfend gut.
Ihr seid echt ein sehr süßes Pärchen und ich wünsche euch alles Gute.
Liebe Grüße aus NRW o/
The Lederhosen reminds me of the specialized clothing the salt miners wore. I had some wonderful tours of the salt mines in Austria and Bavaria.
Regarding Oktoberfest, before drinking the beer, have a good dinner first.
Feli, wonderful wishes for your travels and a 🤗 from me.
TIL the Lederhosn is the Bavarian blue jeans, sortof.
Oktoberfest is Love, Oktoberfest is Life
And pee +🤮
😂
Grüß Di, Feli. I will definitely go to Oktoberfest this year (for the first time) but I will take the train, from where I live in beautiful Tyrol, it is not very far. I know that I will be drinking some good beer and certainly don't want to drive! 😄 so, Viel spaß and who knows? Maybe I'll see you guys over there in München.
will be there from 21st.. hope to meet and greet
takes me back to days of service and high adventure on the grenze during late cold war. must get back! Miss Bayern. history, food and such hospitable people
Octoberfest can be wild at times. I can't say more here.
Do you go to Schützenfest at the Kopling society?
I wish I was going.. zinzinnati is great but I've never been to munich..
Feli which days of oktoberfest are you going?
Augsburg was my home for 3 years when I was in the Army
Dankeschön
