Last year, I bought a house in the US which is something that I definitely wouldn't have done (yet) if I had stayed in Germany. Because what many people don't know: Germany is a nation of renters! We have one of the lowest homeownership rates in the developed world! But isn't Germany the biggest economy in Europe? So how come Germans don't buy houses? 🤔 Let's find out!

ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 28, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)
