I get a lot of great questions every day and I love being able to share my knowledge and insights with people. But I also like being able to share them with you. So when I recently got the following question about our recent move to Berlin, I just knew I had to share...
If you are considering moving to Germany in the near future or have recently moved here, there are a lot of things you need to keep in mind. The following list is just a small sampling of information that you will need to know when you move here, and you can find...
It's hard to imagine that we have now been in Berlin for 3 whole months. In some ways, it feels like we've always been here and don't know how we never managed to live anywhere else. And in other ways, it's strange to think that we were so settled into a far more...
