- (Almost) Concrete Jungle: Frankfurt, Germany 2 years ago Frankfurt am Main is the largest financial center in continental Europe and the fifth-largest city in Germany. It’s also the only city in Germany with a classic “city skyline” of skyscrapers. Some people refer to it as “Mainhatten”, because of how it (supposedly) resembles New York City....
- The German North Sea Coast 2 years ago My husband has wanted us to take a vacation to the North Sea coast ever since we moved to Germany four years ago. The closest we’ve been is Hamburg, which isn’t actually close at all. Like camping in my home-state of Michigan, however, it’s hard to find accommodations on the coast unless you...
- My Favorite Things About Living in Germany 2 years ago There’s a lot to love about living in Germany. Lately, though—and mostly because of the pandemic!—I feel like I’ve been forgetting just how lucky I am to live here. As my husband can attest, I’ve been whining even more than usual about aspects of life here that I find annoying. In my...

Is that true, though? First, I have to be honest and add a little disclaimer that I haven’t seen many German comedies. That may be because the first...
- My Favorite German Movies, TV, Podcasts and More 3 years ago A key part of learning German (or any language) is immersion. That’s tricky, of course, if you don’t live in a German-speaking country.

Jessie's insights and views on the world are not only unique, they also remain relevant to the lives of people living in and out of the United States. I would highly recommend this blog for those already in Germany, people thinking about living in Germany, and for those who have just heard of Germany. Everyone should give it a read!
