We are Geoff and Alex - two Americans living abroad in Berlin, Germany. During this series we discuss our years of experience living in Europe as expats, give advice to those who are hoping to make the move abroad and share plenty of funny stories about life in the ”land of beer and sausage.” Along the way, we test a new bottle of whiskey during each episode, because...why not?
We have unfortunately reached the last episode of the AGDW podcast. What an absolutey bitter sweet moment. Both of us are eternally grateful for all of the love, support and dedication everyone has shown us over the past three and a half years. While we are sad the podcast has come to an end, we aren’t going anywhere! We we will continue to give you fun and educational (slightly) content about living in Germany, however from now on...
Here it is. The one you've been secretly hoping for, but for which you will regret actually receiving. Here is the infamous "lost episode" of the AGDW podcast. This was meant to be the original 2nd episode of the entire series, a little over 3 years ago. At the time, we had the bright idea of recording two episodes every time we met up. This meant, by the time we recorded the second episode that day, we were a bit...how do you say....

Thank you to EVERYONE who has sent us questions over the y...

Every country has its own culture that is filled with positives and negatives. The United States is a massive land with a unique position as an almost physical "island", bordering only two other countries. Being located so far from Europe means life in the USA is of course going to be a bit different than it is "across the pond." This week we'll be reacting to an article titled, "American Problems Europeans Do Not Understand." Jus...
We recently has an episode in which we detailed how weddings in Germany and the USA were different from one another - the traditions, the parties and the paperwork.

Many foreigners living in Germany who wish to get married quickly find that the process can be quite difficult. This has ...

We're doing it live, f**k it! The last part of our special 3 year anniversary extravaganza is a German Shuffle episode recorded LIVE. While recording we had listeners of the podcast watching us via live stream and they were able to throw questions our way during the recording. It was exciting and we had so much fun!

This February is the AGDW Podcast 3 year anniversary, which means the special episodes keep rolling in.

Luckily, Geoff is curr...
This February is the AGDW Podcast 3 year anniversary! To celebrate our 3rd year on the air, we'll be releasing a special episode every single week this month.

At this point, we've both each lived in Berlin, Germany for roughly a decade. Over time, it has become our new home where we have established our adult lives and integrated ourselves into German society as best as we could. However, even though so much time has passed, neither of us forgets what it was like those first few months and years living abroad. During this time there was a lot of excitement and discovery, but also a lot o...
Anyone who grows up in the USA, as with any country, can easily point out weird things around them everyday. However, some actions, items or traditions are so ingrained, we have no idea that the rest of the world just doesn't quite understand them. This week we'll be reacting to an article titled, "Non-Americans reveal the things Americans do that they simply do not understand." This episode isn't about "American bashing." We'd nev...
We're back bitches! We had some much needed time off to see our families for the holidays, but all good things must come to an end, eh?
