Just found out about this board!

Hi! A fellow Germany-dwelling nestie just let me know that this board exists, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I've been living in Germany since September 2000; I came over as an exchange student and somehow it's nearly 12 years later, and I'm still here. My husband's German and we live with our three-year-old daughter, six-year-old lunatic Basset Hound and almost-done-baking fetus in a small village about an hour south of Frankfurt.

Looking forward to "hanging out" with you all!

  • Hi and Welcome! I'm an American living in Oslo with two Texan cats.

    An hour south of Frankfurt... Isn't that wine country? Wine touring in Germany is way up there on my European travel wish list, but I'm worried about the language barrier.

    I think it might be wine country, or very close to ... all I know right now is that it's the land of a dialect I have a very hard time understanding. I lived in Frankfurt for the last 10 years and just moved here before Christmas. BUT, you should visit here ... most Germans do speak some English, and they try even when they can't. They're friendlier than their reputation ... sometimes. 

  • Welcome - glad to see you over here! I also arrived in 2000 but went back to the States for my BA, so in total I've lived here 8 years since then. I'm also married to a German and we have a 10-month-old daughter.

    You can ask away! I'm kinda jealous, even though now we're only about an hour away and still visit there a lot. I've never lived in one city as long as I did in Frankfurt in my life. 

  • Welcome! This board is very helpful for the short time I've been posting.

    I'm American, living in Philadelphia, but will be moving to S. Africa for one year in the next few months. 

  • Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! Big Smile
