🇺🇸🇩🇪🇧🇪 What's it like navigating life in Munich as an American-German with a upbringing in Belgium and the U.S., a love for travel, and going through pregnancy in Germany? In this episode of The Pod Abroad, I chat with my friend Anika! We dive into her unique multicultural identity, our shared passion for travel (including why Slovenia is a hidden gem!), and her initial experiences with the German healthcare system during pregnancy.
Howdy und Servus!! I'm Paulina :-) Welcome back to The Pod Abroad, where I connect with international friends living around the globe!
Join Anika and I as we discuss her journey from her American-German upbringing in Belgium, to living and working in the U.S., to making Munich her home. We talk about what it's like to feel connected to multiple cultures, our different travel styles and favorite destinations, and then transition into Anika's experience with pregnancy in Germany – from finding a midwife to navigating the healthcare system.
