▸After a bit of a Christmas hiatus, we are excited to start the new year with some highly requested guests! Jonathan and Ashton are originally from the Midwest but have found their home in Germany's Black Forest. On their YouTube channel The Black Forest Family they regularly analyze complex differences between Germany and the US, like why Germans seem to increasingly turn away from religion or which country leaves their residents with more money, but they also document their personal journey of raising a child there and even building a house! From cycling through the beautiful area around Freiburg and the French Alsace region to the struggle of finding American-style household appliances and wanting to learn German to be able to understand their son, Jonathan and Ashton had so many fascinating stories to share and we hope you guys enjoy them as much as we did! :) Make sure you check out their website ▸ https://www.blackforestfamily.com/ and YouTube channel ▸ https://www.youtube.com/@TheBlackForestFamily to hear more about what life is like for a young ex-pat family in Southwest Germany!
