After much discussion about our futures, Andreas and I decided that we were going to travel the world together, starting with Germany. First we had to get married...so we did, on December 23rd, 2006 on the beaches of sunny Southern California.
In March 2007, I moved to the small city of Hannover, Germany. I completed my MBA there and soon after in April, Andreas arrived as well. Soon after we moved to Berlin and took off for a week trip to Switzerland with Andreas' family. This was my first exposure to Andreas' family outside the US and I loved it. They were such warm, generous, and patient people.
Once we arrived we realized that our way of life was about to change. We weren't in the US anymore and we definitely weren't in San Diego anymore. I began taking lessons to learn German, which I practiced with already fluent and native Andreas. And this is how I started to learn German. Soon after I was practicing with his ever patient mother, Kristina in Berlin.
Living in Germany made me appreciate the incredible infrastructure they have here for public transportation. We left our cars in the US and came here with what we could carry. It's been an adventure ever since then.
