Americans in Germany Drinking Whiskey

Americans in Germany Drinking Whiskey

We are Geoff and Alex - two Americans living abroad in Berlin, Germany. During this series we discuss our years of experience living in Europe as expats, give advice to those who are hoping to make the move abroad and share plenty of funny stories about life in the ”land of beer and sausage.” Along the way, we test a new bottle of whiskey during each episode, because...why not?

Having visitors from back home can be extremely fun, but in certain ways also nerve racking, especially if it's their first time visiting the new city or country you now call home. This week, we'll talk about how important we feel it is to show off Berlin to our guests, what activities we normally do with them, and the stressful side of having someone's vacation "in your hands."

Join us this week as we talk about the tasks that expats find surprisingly difficult to do, such as talking on the phone, going to the doctor, or even just showing someone their ID!
