  • ONE YEAR PEOPLE?! How did that happen? This year has flown by and it's because we've been having too much fun. Come join us as we reminisce on our first impressions of Germany and talk about how they've changed!
    WE ARE SHOCKED & so incredibly grateful!! 20K people subscribe to us on UA-cam?! WHAAATTT? To some that number is nothing, but to us it means SO MUCH. We remember, a little over a year ago when we started our channel, posting a video and having 55 people watch it. Word for word we were like, “we can’t believe 55 people are interested in watching us!” We still feel the exact same.
    Thank you for supporting us & joining us on some crazy fun adventures! To celebrate and say thank you, we are doing a TRAVEL GIVEAWAY including 2 big travel bags (Recycled Kraft Paper Backpack & Duffle Bag) 3 small travel bags, 2 pairs of sunglasses & 2 bags of Organic coffee from Oaxaca, Mexico. Big thanks to Avocadooz at www.avocadooz.... for helping to make this happen!

    I lived in Germany for 11 years. Most of it in Nurnberg, I worked in Graf and Hohenfels but also in Stuttgart. I honestly after 11 years wanted to go home. Now after 17 years back stateside, we are ready to go back to Germany. I will be like you are 1 year later, revisiting old places I used to visit. I really miss Germany and it's unique ways of living. Germany is and will always be my second home. God bless and really good video.

    The normalization of what at first seems soooo exceptional is just what we experience everywhere. No matter how beautiful something seems at first sight, once you get used to it, anything becomes part of the scenery and drops into the background. Until someone fresh like you comes in from the outside and points out the beauty again.
    That's the number one reason I believe so many Germans love to see videos from expats/immigrants about Germany. Because it helps us to open our eyes again to the beauty that surrounds us, making us realize, and appreciate everything more.
    For that I am more than happy, and thankful, for anyone taking on both the burden but also the adventure of moving to a foreign country and showing their progress there.
    Thank you two for making these videos, and allowing us to partake in your small family of three, and all the fresh views you are granting us.

      I am lucky enough to live in one of those "little fairy-tale German towns" - in fact in the middle of the "Old Town" -, but in everyday life I just drive through all the beauty, not watching, thinking of something else. But every now and then I would go on foot, deliberately looking at, appreciating all the awesome spots of our little town. And it is all the more fun if I happen to be guiding tourists - friends who come to stay with us for a few days -, because then MY sensation is hightened through THEIR eyes.
      And this in fact may be a strong reason to want to entertain guests in your home town, if I come to think of it :)

    My daughter is obsessed with Willa. It's unbelievable. Shes screaming out of joy as soon as Willa is on screen. I don't know why. It's not like she's never seen another toddler before. She goes to Kita and spends her whole day there with other toddlers. There must be something special about Willa obviously.

      My guess is, that normally there are just adults on the screen, talking about their adult topics. About houses, streets, cars and so on...
      But then... occasionally...
      Willa is on the screen, making fun and saying a few words about this and that stuff around her ;-)
      I mean, I like these videos, I like everything about them and also about this video in particular and Willa's appearances too ;-)
      But for a small child, I guess that Willa is much more interesting for another small child ;-)

    The biggest change I noticed is that your videos got a lot more relaxed. In the beginning you were trying so hard to make perfect, highly polished travel videos - which was cool - but as it turned out not really sustainable. I very much welcomed your decision to turn it down a notch, it makes your videos a lot more enjoyable knowing you're not breaking your back in the name of 'content'.
    The little bit of chaos (mostly brought about by Willa) really suits you and gives your channel it's own personality.
    On the tattoos...nah, maybe start with a matching haircut.

      Ich stimme dem voll zu, vor allem den letzten beiden Sätzen..!
      Wenn Willa sich so charmant in den Vordergrund mogelt kann ich gar nichts anderes mehr sehen oder hören, aber ich liebe es, wenn sie das tut bzw. auch in anderen Videos schon getan hat. Und Risa: bitte keine Tattoos! Dies ist eine Modeerscheinung, die doch schon langsam wieder abflaut. Irgendwann später (im Alter) werdet Ihr es dann als "Jugendsünde" bereuen. Was Ihr aber niemals bereuen werdet ist, daß Eure Liebe Euch ein solch liebenswertes Geschöpf wie Eure herzallerliebste Prinzessin Willa beschert hat. Und das sollte Euch als sichtbares Unterpfand Eurer Liebe doch mehr als ausreichen. Somit bedarf es keiner solchen zusätzlichen Beweise wie eines Tattoos..!
      Bitte nicht böse sein, ist nur meine Meinung...

It was great seeing Graf again, I was born and raised there, and when you walked across the bridge to the Marktplatz, I remembered how fell into the Stadtweiher one cold winter, I have a lot of fond memories, but believe me, the houses have not always been so colorful! 😆 Up until the 90s I seem to remember that everything was centered around base, and the rest was just, well, boring... A lot has changed since then, obviously. Congratulations to the 20000, love what you do for your Ukrainian guests and keep up making good videos!

    Willa is growing up so fast! The last few weeks at the Kita have made a noticeable difference in the way she responds to everything. And how marvellous that she already speaks little phrases in German with not a trace of self-consciousness, just the way, in fact, all kids placed in a different culture quickly find their feet while adults treat every new experience with trepidation. Good luck for your next year!

Dann steht sie still über den Winter hinweg und im Frühjahr wird weiter gemacht.

    Haha. You work at Grafenwöhr. I was part of the German Navy security forces securing US-Army Hohenfels training ground relieving US army reserve in 2003 (Iraq). The Army commander greeted us with: "Welcome in the middle of nowhere". This place really is bavarian siberia (Oberpfalz). My experience was actually so bad, it made me leave the statutory service asap and not voluntarily extending service which I intended before being deployed there. Had to finance university studies a different way... Worked out as well.

    I am glad to see that you have settled in well in Germany. Especially Willa is developing splendidly. There are so many worthwhile sights in Europe. It's nice to see that you can also enjoy little things like a brook. If Willa wants to be a real princess, combine the Moritzburg Hunting Castle with a visit to Dresden. The Czech cult Christmas movie "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella" was filmed in Moritzburg. Marissa, Tanner & Willa you are Welcome!

    It's unfortuately not unsual that constructions take extremely long here in Germany, wether it is roads or houses. It can happen that a road refurbishment of, let's say, a square meter, takes not half a day but a year. Here in my hometown some years ago they built a a new platform at a station for local public trains. When it was finished after a year or so they forgot to take the barriers of the construction site away at one entrance. You couldn't use one of two entrances to the platform for two years.

    DO Berlin in Summer :D Berlin is not a pretty city. It can feel ugly and look ugly except of certain tourist places just like London, Paris or New York. Too crowded too many Bricks. If you go in Summer there is way more opportunities and you can do a nice river ride or go to a beach bar on the spree and its just a way more happy place. Just like with all the cities mentioned

    Germans so: "Okay, this is a quite normal german town, a bit grey, but okay - it is early spring, but I better want to go home, reading or watching TV or cook something...." . You: "Oh my god, this is so exiting! Look how colourful it is!" - This is absolutely crazy to watch these videos as a German, because maybe we do not appreciate our own towns and countrysides as much a we should and take it as "too normal". Maybe we should appreciate more that it is a kind of privilege to live here. But if you are grown up in this country you usually don't think much about the beautiful things. Watching your videos help to see my own country "with the eyes" of people from far away. This is really a quite nice experience. 😀
