October 6th is German-American Day in the US which celebrates German-American heritage and commemorates the founding of Germantown in Pennsylvania in the year 1683. For this occasion, I thought it would be interesting to talk about German heritage and ancestry in the US. How many Americans have German descendants? How much of the culture has survived over the years? And where did German people settle down back in the day?

ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 27, 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. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)
