Has anyone lived or currently live in Germany?

I am looking into moving overseas and heard Germany is a very welcoming place. Has anyone ever successfully moved to Germany or anywhere else in Europe without being in the military than can offer any help?

Despite what Daniela D says, Germany is a wonderful place to live! I would suggest trying a foreign exchange (Austausch) program. You can apply through various universities, or through iie.org (Fulbright program).

I am getting ready to go back to Germany (I've already done the foreign exchange program, now I'm doing the Fulbright thing- English teaching assistants have great opportunities in Europe), and I'm really excited about the change in lifestyle.

Germans, and many Europeans really, have a much healthier lifestyle than Americans do. I lost a lot of weight and felt great last time I was there! :-) Viel Glueck!

I live in Germany and it's nice here :-)

sure just contact me i麓m livin here ever since i can remember!

I lived there for 3 years. My husband was stationed there. (Army) However, there were a lot of civilians who lived in Germany and worked on post. I would suggest doing this at least for the first few years you live in Germany. If you get a contract or GS job with the Military, most of the time they will pay for your moving expenses. Once you are over there for a few years and you learn the language and culture pretty well, then you can move on and get a job with a German Company. Several of my friends did this to get their foot into the door of a German Company and it worked for them. Good Luck!

I moved to Germany when I was 19 and have been here ever since. That was 19 years ago! contact me if you like. bimbilein@yahoo.de
