    Dating, toxic relationships, and making friends in Germany (Lulu from Ireland)

    Dating can be a minefield at the best of times. But what happens when you move to a city like Berlin? Lulu Johnson discovered just this when she moved from Ireland to Berlin - and then wrote a book about it! It's called Dating in Berlin and covers her hilarious - and some not so hilarious - misadventures as a foreigner in the German dating scene.  Lulu to discusses dating in Berlin, toxic relationships, making friends, and learning the German language.

    The diversity trend, Misfit Models, and German bureaucracy when starting a company (Del from the UK)

    Just do a Google search for Del Keens, and you will see that he's someone with a unique story. After moving to Germany, he started a character modeling agency called Misfit Models. He joins me as a guest in this episode to discuss why he came to Germany, how he faced German bureaucracy when he started Misfit Models, how he feels that the current diversity focus is a trend, and he talks about the impact Brexit has had on his life.  Find Del online: Misfit Models official websiteInstagramTwitterTikTokLinkedInFacebookDel Keens Bio: When Del moved from London to Berlin in 2006, he was already well-booked model. Del Keens had been in front of the lens for Diesel Jeans, Levi's and Calvin Klein. Without a washboard stomach, but as a face full of character. In Germany, however, he realised that there was no use for character models like himself on the local market. Instead of real personalities, advertising relied and still relies on the same perfect faces and flawless bodies. Identification potential equals zero. That's why Del founded Misfit Models in 2012 - the modelling agency for character faces like himself. Goggle Del Keens for more information.

    House hunting, finding day care, and handling rough starts (Wafeeqa from Saudi Arabia)

    When Wafeeqa and her family moved to Germany, they thought things would be easier: her husband had a job, and his employer was arranging accommodation for them. Plus, they both had experience with learning languages, so they thought maybe German wouldn't be too much of a challenge. But as is so often the case, things didn't go according to plan... Wafeeqa discusses finding a place to live, finding daycare for her twins, trying not to disturb neighbors, and more. 4GEPADFO time: charity drive 2022 As we do every year, Nicole of The Expat Cast and I are raising money for a charity - but this time, instead of a competition, we're doing it together!
