🇩🇪🇹🇭🇺🇸 Ever wondered what it's really like to experience life in Thailand, Germany, and the USA as an expat? In this episode of The Pod Abroad, I chat with my friend Ong, a Thai native who shares his insightful experiences navigating these different cultures. If you're interested in expat life across continents, definitely tune in!
Howdy und Servus!! I'm Paulina :-) Welcome to The Pod Abroad, your go-to podcast for stories from international friends living around the globe! I'm originally from Texas and have been living in Munich, Germany for over 8 years. I initially moved for a master's program in sustainability and then liked it so much that I stayed!
Today, we dive into Ong's journey from the vibrant city of Bangkok, Thailand, to Munich, Germany, where we met during our studies, and his impressions of his time spent in the USA.
Ong shares his initial experiences living and studying in Germany, contrasting it with his life in Bangkok and his observations of American culture. We explore cultural differences, the challenges of moving to a new country (like the Munich housing search!), and even touch on our perspectives on current politics in Germany and the US from our unique international viewpoints.
Learn about:
- Ong's journey from Thailand to Germany and his time in the USA
- The contrasts between Thai, German, and American cultures
- The realities of expat life in Munich from Ong's perspective
- Navigating cultural differences and understanding new social norms
- Our thoughts on global politics from our international perspectives
This episode is perfect for anyone dreaming of moving abroad, curious about German or Thai culture, or fascinated by the diverse experiences of living as an expat across different continents!
