We are Donnie and Aubrey, two people who love to travel, seek adventure, and take advantage of this one life we get. After quitting our jobs, selling everything we had and traveling the world for nearly a year, we sought the next great adventure for us. We relocated to Germany to experience life in a new country and culture! Follow along as we document our unusual journey around the world!

Thank you for this informative video
We do have Evangelische and Katholische Schulen in Germany, but they are open to everyone and the do teach science / evolution etc. etc. Only difference is that you have to take religion class and you have school "Gottesdienste".
One of my kids decided to be "confirmed" in the protestant church, the other did not. Of course I accept both decisions.
Nutella. I use peanut butter in cooking asian food, never as a spread.
That stroller comment blew my mind. I cannot imagine having a baby, but not a stroller. 🤯
I was in hospital a year ago and didn't have as many nice things on the plate as you did. Gurken? Cheese? Fruit? I would have loved to have those! They all sound like they could help many patients. But I didn't pay more than 10 Euros a day, so I won't complain. Then again, my sister was in a hospital a couple of miles away and she had eeeeverything, like, hotel standard everything.
Surely this delivery room is not standard. You'd never see this kind of thing in rooms that the insurance pays.
I didn't even realise that "RTL Aktuell" was an actual news show, lol. I always considered it as sth. thats only there for entertainment, rather than for information. So, being German, I avoid it like the plague, naturally. The news, to me, have to be presented in a professional manner. As objectively and relevant as possible.
I'm Dane and my husband is Austrian. Our daughter was born in Vienna. It cost us 20 Euro, because I had to stay 2 extra days because I bled and had to have transfusions. (We were only charged because I stayed longer than the allotted days). Later I had our sons (2, one at a time) here in Denmark. Even though I had to be operated on after birth 2, neither deliveries cost us anything. In Austria you deliver as if you're as if you are having Cesarean cut. I didn't know that, but Austrian girls do. In Denmark you're being given both food and drink (light sandwiches and juice) during the delivery. (They were born 1985, 1988 and 1993, things may have changed since then. But my husband didn't stay during the night. But there were no designated visiting hours).
You should try "Saure Kutteln" thjis is stomach of the cow. Ich like it but some people hate ist.
You can spot the American backpacker by the Canadian flag sewn on their backpack!
Applejuice with non-carbonated water ist just dilluted, with sparcling water its Schorle. Maybe that why we need carbonated water???
My beloved Franconia got left out :(
I love the german system, even we in Luxembourg watch the tagesschau, the ARD have so good times of the documations/films. 20:15 to 21:00 to 21:45 and etc
People make it a big deal. America has more resources to help American in other countries. If you get into a conflict zone good luck cause Germany isn’t doing shit
Honestly, I assume that it is not necessary having a non-related subject during studies since one learns very much already in school. German school system is highly regulated by the German States. The schools must teach everything that is prescribed by the States. E.g., all people learn English as a foreign language and most people who study have learnt one or two more foreign languages. As far as I know, in the US the schools are not regulated as much as in Germany. Hence, they start in university to get a "base knowledge" in order that everyone is more or less on the same level of knowledge. Yes, there are differences in Germany as well, but to be fair, the difference are not extremely big (even though many people state that it be). Of course during the studies one has a few subjects that maybe are not related to one's own interests. But most of the times the subjects are not offered randomly. I'm studying laws, and I attended also courses for sustainability, law or philosophy of law and English legal language/Common law (because we needed to proof knowledge about general topics and a foreign law system). Other than this, there are courses that students can attend voluntary, such as languages, history, and so on. Some students actually attend such voluntary subjects (as I did with a few languages). But I guess this exists in the US as well.
16:40 - I'm studying biology at university (in Germany) rn and I haven't taken a general course, ever. my first year was zoology, microbiology lab, etc., all very specific to biology and then some subjects that relate, i.e. chemistry, coding, physics, etc. and I've kind of always been jealous of the unrelated courses that the American system offers because it seems like a much more varied learning experience. Like sure there's extracurriculars here that you can take, but you always have to make them fit AROUND your university schedule instead of them being integral part of it. I wanted to take a language class (French or Swedish) this semester but found it doesn't work with my regular workload because of time contraints. That said, there are universities in Germany in which you do have to take some general classes as part of your degree, i.e. a friend of mine who studies bio-informatics and chose a drawing course as an elective
11 countries in 11 days is such a misguided concept, too. If all you want to do for your vacation is stand in lines to stand in crowded places to see landmarks you could easily get cheap printouts off of Google from, what are you even doing? Your not relaxing or enjoying your vacation. You made your vacation into a chore, completely missing the point.
More welcome than the arabs for sure
you can also put nutella or bananas in it. Very delicious.
2:10 "sind am Mittwoch in die Kirsche gegangen"
Direct in the dishwasher.
behind the circles are electrical wires connections... if an electrican need to fix something he can Messure there u can go to houses that under construction to see how its done...
It's so funny how americans are so shit at driving that they think the autobahn is a race track with a load of crashes on it when it is actually one of the safest highways in the world statistically
Yea that thing about the smokers is just them being entitled asocial cunts. Trust me those people are hated in germany by every non smoker. The reason why it's still legal to smoke in places like restaurants is because the tabaco industry is incredibly large and the gouvernment is incredibly corrupt
Looking for Freedom was first released in 1978 by some other singer, and there was also a German version by Tony Marshall. So it took the song 11 years to bring down the wall.
I always ask. It is so simple as that. Germans mean what they say. Mostly. :)
There's a really cool german KZreadr called "Kuni" who is a retired Police Special Forces member. In some of his earlier videos he detailed exactly what it takes to become a police officer in germany as well as an officer of the elite unit SEK. Also if you want a really really good insight into german Police i recommend the "Die Davidwache" series of documentaries by the Spiegel about the police in Hamburgs St. Pauli district. Also of course Germany has better bread than France. We have like 5000 different kinds and they only have baguette and croissant
Since now you can even vote at 16 (I’ve heard) 😮
The US does not have jurisdiction over foreign banks but those foreign banks don’t want to lose access to the Federal Reserve System or have their assets frozen and or seized.
Americans? America is a continent not a country. There are nice countries there, not only the bully one.
Haha! Als ob! Deutsche arbeiten mehr als 40 Stunden pro Woche, viele haben sogar 2 oder 3 Jobs, um ihre Rechnungen zu bezahlen!
I love mett too❤❤❤ or a wonderfull beefsteak tatar, yummy😊
Easy
I love Mett❤❤❤
Germans pay for their friends meal. Now you know why Germans have so few friends.
You forgott Salt and Pepper 😂
You are correct about that! 😅
I love Mett, I grew up with it and is sometimes a major thing when I have breakfast
How many of you eat Mett regularly? 😅 I try other German foods that you can see in the full video linked at the bottom of this short!
Can you make a video about the The Oklahoma Standard?
Working in a touristy business in Stockholm Sweden, the biggest things I see that's different is for sure she stress. To me US tourists seem to have a checklist of things they want to see rather than things they want to experience. The other big thing is using cash. Sweden is apparently the most cash-less country in the world and there can sometimes even be hard to find a restaurant, cafe and so on that will accept cash as payment. That seem to be common knowledge among European tourists, but I've met a LOT of hungry Americans who left their cards at the hotel. I can honestly say I haven't used an ATM in Sweden to at least ten years. Oh and one thing I've learnt is that while not all Americans are Karens, but all Karens are American. They are usually the rudest OR most polite/friendly people I see in a day.
7:56 try for example Schwäbisch Gmünd in south germany, but it's also once a week.
7:00 to me You did not state clearly enough the difference of the framing: right-wing in Germany, instead of libertarian in the US - pls keep in mind "right-wing" in Germany sets all alarm bells on
I noticed the same with german dubbing on US series like Spielberg's "Band Of Brothers" in the last episode
the swtch with the black thing to move probably is to cut out the housebell....try it out
I'm a Londoner, so my recommendation for one European city to visit would be...London. Not that I'm biased! 😊 No (or little) having to adjust to a foreign language. OK, Paris comes an extremely close second, and is my favourite. Note: Staying in London gives pretty quick access to Paris, of course, less than 3 hours by Eurostar.
I'm British, and got rid of my credit card years ago, so I can't take advantage of the rewards. Oh well. Note: Total credit card debt in the US is over one trillion dollars. Just sayin'. Also...11 countries in 11 days? Uh huh. 🤨🤔🙄
As a german, I'd prever air conditioners to be common xD That's a rare thing over here. And if you're renting you often aren't even allowed to install one. There are portable ones, but they aren't that great as they need to suck air in from somewhere, and that somewhere often goes through door slits or other open windows. The result is the one room where the portable AC stands in is super chill while the rest of the appartment is a desert.
You think your American taxes are unfair. Get a better accountant. The irony is you move to a socialistic country where taxes abound. You are even taxed for TV and radio. Where did you study economics, Disney Land? 😂
For (avoiding) cleaning THAT shelf: line it with toilet paper. You can use the cheap recycled single-ply stuff for that.
EVERY US Citizen in Germany on YT is like foreigners visiting New York and Washington DC, eat a Hot Dog, drink a Coke, look Statue of Liberty omg, omg, look the white house omg. Videotitle: our trip to the USA 😂
