The Average German Vacation: Sunbeds, Hiking and Socks & Sandals?!
Ойын-сауық
We join Michael Müller, the Average German, on his summer holiday. What’s on his itinerary? Is he waking up at the crack of dawn to reserve a sun lounger? And has he packed his socks and sandals?! Euromaxx reporter Clare Trelawny-Gower follows Michael for a look into German culture.

How does the Average German vacation compare to YOUR vacation? 😏🌞
I petition DW to grant vacation days to Clare Trelawny-Gower as well.

And this quarter of Germans is Germans like me - Germans with ancestors that weren't German.
I am a Brazilian married to a German. When it’s winter here,he loves to go to the beach or swimming at home (southwest) because it looks like his spring season specially in the northwest-Brazil ,where he really likes to travel. December, January in Germany is my favorite season because I really can’t stand the hot weather here.We’ve been In Sardinia,Rome last may and June and guess what? Germans everywhere! 🇧🇷❤️🇩🇪
I totally love Clare Trelawny-Gower!
You will find Germans on every warm and sunny beach in Europe, and many other places around the world. And in my experience they are much more friendly and outgoing than at home.

True. I went to the french Caribbean island of Guadeloupe and found more people that spoke german than english. One even from a town 30 minutes away from where im from. Small world.

Germans in the Canaries - speaking German. In 1974, when I was 19 and living/working in Germany, it was challenging for me to improve my German, as Germans wanted to practice their English by talking with me. However, I spent a few weeks in the Canary Islands that year and discovered that Germans preferred to speak German with me there, and hence my German improved while I was in the Canaries. I also socialized with Austrians and Swiss while in the Canaries, and they preferred to speak English and not German. John, northern California

What resulted in you being "stunned" ? Indians generally have strong white worship mentality. Austronesian DNA Bengalis (short stub, skinny fat, partly mongoloid featured) are even a few notch more.
I definitely know how the Spanish feel.Your videos are so fun❤

Thing is while trying to cope up with the expectations while within Germany and NOT in vacation, an average person will stress out to meet those expectations as best as one could. Inevitably this stress buildup needs a venting, hence those much needed "planned" vacations. Also, outside Germany, they can feel a bit more relaxed, as is evidenced almost everywhere which accounts for the niceness for most part.
Fridge-magnets .. the whole fridge door at my parents home is filled with the weirdest magnet souveniers, you can think of. And we (4) children of them do the utmost possible to let their weird collection grow every year 😂
German tourists are always the first to the dining room and the swimming pool.

Nothing initially comes to mind that is better than meeting Germans on a Mediterranean beach.
Heaven forbid you stay up later than 11pm!

The average German could easily be replaced with the average Japanese. They both share so many similar traits and characteristics, down to wearing socks with sandals. The Japanese even took it one step further and designed their tabi socks so it can be worn with thong sandals. Socks with sandals are hygienic, comfortable, and healthy - “fashion” be damned. 👍

Michael should be aware of how his vacations carry an environmental, cultural and economical impact: from the CO2 of the plane to the displacement of local populations. Gentrification is not “cute” or fun
