American Parents' Views on Germany! (Q&A)
Here’s a Q&A Chat with my actual parents! They flew to Germany from America and we spent an entire week traveling together. I asked you guys for questions on Instagram and you all asked for their opinions on Germany, favorite and least favorite German things, as well as what they think about me living so far away. Please enjoy :)

Your dad's personality is like he is already a stereotypical German 😁 Silent, wise guy who likes beer and the Autobahn, while also being environmentally concious. You should all move here! 😀

Your parents are so sweet. I think you look like a nice mix of both of them, you definitely got more characteristics of your father's face, but the darker features are so much like your mom's. Anyway it's obvious now who you got your sweet personality from. I love your family xx

Montana, du hast coole Eltern und sie haben eine gute Tochter. Und ihr drei seid eine hübsche Familie. Liebe grüße aus Südkalifornien!😎 (Loved your Dad's translation guess to "Baum.")
You look like your father combined with your mama's beauty..you all three are pretty people!
@Montana: Your dad just said, that he’s addicted to spicey food! I come from Munich and I can highly recommend the restaurant “spicery” which is near Rosenheimer Platz! It’s a Thai restaurant, very authentic and if your father loves a reeally spicey dish: they got a “thai sausage” which is phenomenal! Try it out! Let me know if you liked it! They also have non spicey dishes! Props on your dad as he likes Augustiner Helles! Prost!
LOL its so weird seeing Uncle Brad being so shy. Love and miss you guys
Your parents seem like lovely people! And I just realised you hit 30k! Congrats! 🎉
Liebe Montana, Du hast so sympathische Eltern...soooo schüchtern ist Dein Dad nicht. Er ist vielleicht bisschen aufgeregt...
So eine liebe Familie! I cry with your mum, would miss you, too!
What your dad says about the learning experience by travelling to other countries is so true.
You look 50% like mom and 50% like dad. The perfect mix :) Your parents are very nice.
Some of the most genuine people I’ve ever seen
Your vlogs always make my day :-) especially now with three positive minds in one single frame. Great you've enjoyed your parents' visit :-)
You have definitively very much of your father when it comes to your look. Your personalty seems to be more like your mother ...because your father seems to be more like a quiet thinker type of guy being very reserved and calm while your mom seems to be more the extroverted emotional type ...that might be balancing their relationship out...and both of your parents are very sympathically Simply very nice people..
By chance I came across your video and was immediately touched by the warmth and cordiality of you and your parents! I wish you all the best and success in everything you do.
Montana, I enjoyed your videos so much, but this is the best one I have seen. Such a happy family meeting, it's worth more than just one thumb up.
Very nice that you introduced us to your parents. Thanks!!! They are just as honest and adorable as you. Stay that way and you will accomplish anything!
I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! this was so wholesome and just lovely to see you with your parents! Liebe Grüße aus Hannover 😊
I love this video! It's my favorite one of you yet! You guys are so ... for the lack of a better word... REAL and authentic. That's so rare with KZreadrs. I believe that this is absolutely how you would talk to eachother if there was no camera. And the three of you are super sweet!
Thanks for sharing montana! great video see you in the next one ;-)
Montana, you are a beautiful mix of both your parents, the best of both. Your parents can be proud of you for many reasons. Aaaawww, when your mom started crying I wanted to give her a big hug. Both your parents are so sweet. All three of you seem so open-minded, tolerant, and interested in everything.
she answered like three of my questions and i'm so happy about it💖
Seeing you guys on KZread like this just makes me miss you all so much more! Montana you are such an inspiration to kids around the world! We unfortunately moved away when you were little so it’s especially nice to see you through your eyes like this. To all those who commented about her parents, you are all right! They are two of the most kind, caring, loving parents a kid could wish to have. Two truly wonderful people whom everyone adores! Montana you are such a bright example of each of them and you make everyone who knows you proud! ❤️
I love your parents. They are so nice -espacially your dad. He answered all the questions like it is a really serious thing.
you have so lovely parents! So happy for you. They are very open minded and forward-looking, charming and friendly. Laughed very much during the video. Thank you, all three of you, for this nice amusement...
Hell yeah i was so hyped on this video
4:35 ist so süß. Da bekam ich sogar selber Tränen in die Augen. Liebe ist halt doch das Beste, Wichtigste und Schönste überhaupt.
You are awesome Montana!
Your parents are absolutely gorgeous!! You're a great family - I love you all! 💖
You guys are all so positive...puts me in a happy mood immediately :-D
I can imagine how proud your parents are for their daughter organizing this scholarship on her own. And living her life in Germany and YouTubing about her experiences. I know the feeling since my daughter went to the USA for 6 months to study in Florida living on campus. She met some amazing and friendly people there also. Inviting her into there homes as if she was family. All the best to you and your family Montana.
You Look like your Dad in a pretty mother - way 😂

Well described!
I love your mom crying it shows just how much she loves you.
I think it is actually a very good thing for your parents to visit you. It makes it easier for them to understand what kind of transition and change you go through throughout your experience. They can relate more easily and once you are back home you will be glad that sharing experiences will be easier since your parents will know what you are talking about. Also for parents generally it is good to see their children in their exchange environment, they will see you in a totally different light since you are know guiding them, translating and organizing. At the beginning of adulthood this is a great experience for you and your parents. Hope the readjustment isn't too hard.
Your parents are sooooo sweet! Both of them, you are a lucky girl! 😊
I loved your family Montana, mom seems really sweet and mommish.. And your Dad seems like a great guy. Fatherly and cool... Honest... You're all blessed
Deine Eltern sind sehr sympatisch!! Genau wie du! 😀🙋
Thank you for sharing your Parents with us. Now I know why you are so filled with positivity and where that vibrant good spirit caracter comes from.
I'm getting used to your cute videos. Do never stop with them! You look like the perfect mixture of your parents (which are really nice, btw).
You have a lovely family. Wish you guys a good time for the rest of your stay.
Your parents are soooo cute and lovely!!!! Esspecially your dad is a real dad!!! Greetings to your lovely mother!!!
Your mom reminds me of my own mom! Very loving and sweet, and obviously she's very proud of you. :)
I didn't know your mom was Vietnamese! That's so cool, there's a huge vietnamese community in the city where I'm from and it's hands down my favorite kind of food 🤤
Loved hearing from your parents. We are in Michigan and hosted a student from Berlin. We had a fantastic experience! My two daughters are going to Berlin this summer to stay with our exchange daughter for a month. My husband and I will be there for two weeks. (And Garmisch and Salzburg). Really enjoy your perspective and your parents too.
your parents are amazing!
This is great. Don’t forget bitte. I have one hiker friend that lives in Germany and another that lives in the US and has a sister named Montana. I think it’s great that you shared this with your parents.
Ohh I love your parents! They are both so sweet🥰
Your parents are lovely. And Montana ... you have such a nice personality ... I am sure your parents are very proud of you. Sorry that you had to leave Germany too soon
Your mom is sweet and your dad seems smart, open and supportive... dream parents!
Your Mom is so cute and your Dad is such a cool guy :D Heartwarming video =)
So fun to watch your dad enjoying the beer xD definitely a realy good beer brand! Enjoy your stay! also recommend to visit Regensburg city
Really nice and sympathetic family. It's beautiful to see that harmonic and easy going "relationship"
When I saw the beer i was like, the Dad's pretty cool. Cheers Sir. Sweet family.
your mom seems like the loveliest woman! such a cute video
you have to go to Neu Schwanstein - the real Disney Castle. A must to see in Germany !

Since i started watching youre videos, i started to like my country again. Thanks alot for that :)
Perfect mixture of the parents.
You got wonderful parents. Your mom was so cute when she got emotional about you. I can, as a Portuguese German, very much relate to it, because I can get emotional as well, specially when it comes to people I love and, of course, my kid.
The whole family - very likeable!
Great video! :)
Your parents are so sweet!
You have really great parents. Both your mom and dad are really adorable. Ich finde es wirklich schön, dass dir Europa gefällt. Ich selbst lebe in der Schweiz, habe aber die meisten Freunde in Deutschland und Österreich. Keep strong, during this Corona Period and stay safe. Many greetings to your parents!
Oh my gosh! Your parents are sooo cute, especially your Mom! 😘 And every time you ask Americans what they like about Germany, one of the answers is always: Autobahn! 😂😂😂
8:17 this and the other reasons are so understandable and so important.
You are a great family. I hope Germany will see you again after Montana´s scholarship year.
i am writing in German. Tolles Video, gerade mit deinen Eltern, das macht euch sympathisch und authentisch! Deine Mutter ist stolz auf dich!
your dad is sooo calm 😊
Just one point, from a german guy, living way up north: the travelling DOES change your life. In a positive way, I think. Always! It just gives you a better perspective. I kinda grew up with it. My father was a sailor. He once stated , having been to 140 countries in the world. I'm far from that! And I've always only been in the "western world". Except 1 week in turkey, once. But I'm fine with that. Just keep on, exploring. Especially, when not coming somewhere as just a tourist. I think that makes a lot of a difference.
Very nice video, like it 🥰 and your parents are great 👍
Es ist so toll zu sehen. wie sehr deine Eltern dich lieben!!!!

Don't make her cry! You all seem so sweet and like nice people. And also: Wuhuuuuuuu Austria! :D

Awesome people, I love them!
Your parents are so sweet and very lovely ♥️
Dein Vater hat so weise Worte gesagt - sinngemaess: ein Aufenthalt im Ausland praegt einen Menschen ein ganzes Leben lang. Als mich meine Eltern in Idaho 1982 besuchten, hatte mein Vater genau das zu meinem Gastvater gesagt, als er gefragt wurde, warum ich Austauschschüler werden sollte. Und jetzt? Jetzt muss ich sagen, dass er recht hatte. Und Dein Vater wird genau so recht behalten, Du wirst es feststellen! Dank Deiner Videos wird sich mein Sohn auch als Austausschueler bewerben. Danke fuer Deine Inspiration!!!!!!! Liebe Gruesse an Priscilla und Bradley
Your parents are so cute!:)
That was so relaxing ....
Your parents are such nice persons. So it's easy to understand how you could have grown to such a lovely person you are. I really love your videos. I always try to watch them. I never managed to travel overseas myself, but had a lot of travel/work years within Europe. Lived In Amsterdam, Dublin, Gibraltar, Brno, Brussels and so on. So that's why I'm intrested in videos of people doing exchanges and how I found your channel. I really hope you will forever have good thoughts in your mind, when you think back about your time here. And please, if you ever have kids yourself, make them travel. Travelling for me is the best thing to work against racism.
Nice that we can meet your Parrends ,,nice to see them .. Come Back all
Your parents seem soo cool and kind
