I currently live in Santa Barbara, California, but I was born and raised in Germany. I have made numerous trips back to my home country for the past two decades. As a dual citizen, I have gained a deep understanding of American and German cultures, giving me a unique perspective. I enjoy sharing my experiences and expert travel advice to offer valuable insights for your next trip to Germany.
