OMG! So awesome foe you to have a job that allows you to move across the world. I’m a former Army brat and spent ‘83-92 in Germany. First Pirmasean then Mainz. Went to high school in Wiesbaden. I miss Germany and Europe in general. So much history and culture that the US just doesn’t have. Love your open mindedness as well. Your daughter is going to be so well rounded and is very fortunate to have this experience. I wish every kid in the US could have such and experience. Unfortunately some never even leave the US. Wish you all the best!!

It’s so nice to see how happy you are! My boyfriend is stationed in graf and I’m German. Germany is a great country you gonna love it!

I just stumbled upon this video. Me, a former Gi (NJ) who married a German and raised 3 kids here. I've arrived here back in the summer of 93' thru the US Army in Nuremberg. I'd ETS from the military Jan 97 and been living on the the German economy since then. It wasn't easy but that's life. Explore explore and more exploring of Germany. Wishing you and your family all the best of luck. Schöne Grüße aus Mittelfranken.

Welcome! Looking forward to have you with us! Greetz from the northern Germany!

I moved to Germany from England in late 1969. I was on my own, no commitments, first time leaving the family home. I was excited, too. But I had to start speaking and understanding German straight away, as I was going to work for a German company in Cologne. It was the best decision I ever made and brought me so many new experiences that I wouldn't have realised if I had just stayed in England for the rest of my life. I stayed in Germany until 1982. I still visit friends there regularly, although Covid has made that impossible for the time being. I think once you have discovered German food, you'll never want to leave!

"Get a car, ship it". Cars are built in Germany and Europe. Do you carry owls to Athens? They are already there. For European approval you need different requirements than for the US. The rear turn signals must not be red, they must be amber and separate. Cars in Europe are usually a bit smaller than in the US. This makes it easier to find a parking space.

But Subaru is a global brand, there should be the parts. Then KM / H instead of miles. Next point, the exhaust gas values are measured differently. To do this, the manufacturer changes the setting of the engine electronics, or it falls into an unfavorable class. And then you certainly need the TÜV approval, often documents from the manufacturer. Then the vehicle is considered to be new and does not need to be TÜV again until after 3 years. Thereafter every 2 years. Then ship and declare. For the money you could have bought an automatic car in Europe because the same model is available here. The gasoline in Europe is better than in US. Diesel is the same. Do not use heating oil, it is colored. If this color is discovered in the tank it will be very expensive. If an electric car you will have problems with the plug.

@@OurStorytoTell There are soooo many things to see :D but this site offers a pretty good list: thecrazytourist.com/25-best-things-hamburg-germany/ Of course you decide what your preferences are, but I can only strongly recommend exploring the streets and districts outdoors - all the districts mentioned in the list are worth seeing. If you want you can rent a little boat and paddle along the canals that flow all through Hamburg and offer amazing views. (strongly recommend that!) And most of the things on the list are actually in walking distances to each other, so always look what is just around the corner! :D If you are culturally inclined: Hamburg is actually the third largest Musical capital in the world! One big stage theater is even located slap dang in the red light district. (Don't worry! That sounds worst than it is for someone who has never seen St. Pauli) We Hamburgers really love our culture and diversities. You will see hords of teens wanting to party the night away, and standing beside them at a traffic light are sharply dressed men and woman on their way to a musical. It's awesome! Covid put a damper on most of the festivals and cultural events but hopefully that will have resolved itself if you ever decide to visit. Best of luck to you in beautiful Germany. Covid is not easy on a mental level, but we will get through it!

Also check out Bremen (~1,5 hrs away from Hamburg): Schnoor, Altstadt, Bürgerpark and das Viertel. I grew up in Hamburg and agree it offers very beautiful places ( the Speicherstadt is a must!), but if you‘re in that area, check out Bremen aswell. I highly recommend it☝🏼✨ I moved here for Uni 6 years ago and I reaaaally love it. It is way more relaxed and you can visit everything by foot or/and by cycling (renting bikes is easy too)🌈😃

And try to visit an island in the North Sea! You can take a ferry and then on Wangerooge or Langeoog be on a sweet little train from the port. Föhr is also amazing and right next to Denmark- you can email me if you like, I travel a lot to the islands for work.

I live 10 minutes away from Grafenwöhr I think it's nice there and 5 minutes away is a very nice lake "Josephstal " hope you are would like it in Germany

Been living here for 31 years now. It's so awesome I never plan on moving back to America. There are a ton of beautiful places to visit here, graf unfortunately is not one of them. But you aren't far from some amazing areas. Make sure you go to Rothenburg ob der Taube.

@@OurStorytoTell i felt like that after just being here one day on the bus ride from Frankfurt to Bad Kreuznach. Bad Tolz is another place you should definitely go see. If you leave there without your jaw dropping i will be amazed. That area is breathtakingly beautiful. If you ever make it to Rothenburg ob der Taube make sure to do the night watchmen tour........don't think it's in English though. If you want to hear some amazing singing then you def have to take Amelia's tour there as well. She works in the Schottenladen. Her tour is in English and also in German. Simply amazing voice. If you don't get goose bumps on her tour when she sings the one song in the church then something is wrong with your skin! There's so much to do and see here. If you guys get out of your house then you won't want to leave here.

WELCOME TO GERMANY !!! As a teenager I used to be a German Exchange Student and lived in the USA for one Year.....Now I am quite old and still enjoy my dear memories of that important time in my life...and I am still connected with my American Host Family and HighSchool friends... . Never want to miss that experience....and obviously passed it over to my children...My son did the same once he turned 18 as I did...lived in the USA for one Year.....and later on went to work as a volunteer to Papua New Guinea....Living in a foreign Country creates more openness and tolerance towards different people, cultures, societies and religions.....So habe a great start in GERMANY, find yourselves also some German friends to enjoy your experience even more! And hopefully you can do so, because right now Corona makes it much harder! So...Welcome in Europe!Welcome to Germany!!

Yvonne Sokoll Thank you! We are excited for the experience to live and meet new people and learn more about German culture. Where in the US did you live? I met a few people in high school who were foreign exchange students from Germany and other countries and thought it was a great experience. The virus has definitely made things rough and will make it harder to get to meet people at first, but we are hopeful we can meet some soon! Best wishes to you and your family :)

Welcome to Germany. Hope everything works out for you. While being on-base is obviously easier, think about actually moving out of base. That will give you a much greater insight into Germany. Try to find German friends outside the base; that will help massively learning the language. Learning the language is a huge step to opening your eveyday life to everything around you.

We are definitely going to live off base! We are searching to have a more local experience. Even though we don't speak German much right now, we are learning and hope to find people to practice it with.

@@OurStorytoTell As a German who has lived in the US and Canada: don‘t be discouraged by the distance that you will experience from other people, it‘s not unfriendliness, just a mentality that‘s very different from many Americans. It might be hard to meet German people and make friends at first, especially during the pandemic. But true friendship has a huge value here, so once you find your people, I’m sure you will create some really meaningful relationships if that‘s something you want. Right now, the circumstances are not the best for moving here - people are very exhausted from the „lockdown“ that we have had in the last few months and the mood is pretty low. Let‘s hope that spring will change that :) if you have any questions, I‘d be happy to help.

@@OurStorytoTell I live in Austria, next to the German & Swiss boarder. The area around Lake Constance is beautiful. It doesn‘t matter which side of the lake (German, Austrian or Swiss side), there are many beautiful cities (Lindau, Constance, Bregenz), areas to swim or hike. Some even take their bike and ride around the lake. I havn‘t done it before, but it‘s on my to do list. If you go for a bike tour around the lake with a kid it‘s definitely wise to plan a few stopps (maybe stay over night at one or two campsites). Skiing in winter is also definitely something you should do. The area where I live (Austrian alps) is perfect for it. We have many German tourists that love skiing in Austria. When your daughter is older (3 years old) the City of Constance (Germany, near Swiss boarder) is also great to visit because they have a Sea Life there or you could go to the Ravensburger Spieleland (amusement Park for Kids). Constance and Ravensburg are in Baden-Würtenberg though (state next to Bavaria), but not that far away. Salzburg is a very beautiful City in Austria. One of my favourites! I recommend to visit the ice cave and salt mines there. You do need to have a baby carrier though because you do take 1000 steps in the ice caves and also walk a long way in the salt mines and that would be to much for your daughter to walk. The ice caves are huge, beautiful and so impressive. The tour through the salt mines with the guide is very informative and cool. They tell you a lot about the history of the mines and the city of Salzburg. Also visit all the castles there. One of them has a bird of pray show 👍🏻😃 Vienna (capital of Austria) is also always a classic.
