Where Should I live in Germany? – Expats Answer

Within our many Facebook Groups, the question is often asked: “I am moving to Germany, but not exactly sure where to move.” More often than feelings provided in the responses, which is not surprising really. But does not help the person who is open with their questions and wants to find a place that suits them better.

Bloggers only experience living in Germany from a tourist perspective as they only need to visit one country. Expats know more about the real life aspects of living in a new land than someone on a gap year because their job is to live there permanently and experience each country individually before drawing conclusions.

The answer to the original question is simple: invite members of our community on Facebook to write in their own voice and create a short article about living abroad in their region.
