NEED SOME HELP WITH YOUR MOVE?

Germany is amazing, but you’ve got some work to do before you can call yourself “settled”. After you’ve checked the first 6 steps off above, there’s still more.

It takes time, and it takes a lot of patience and a lot of learning, but I’m here to fast track you through so that you can spend more time on the fun expat stuff.
