With our family over 7.000km away, we've had to adapt our American Christmas and Thanksgiving holiday traditions quite a bit living in Germany. But with the help of small businesses in Freiburg and local farmers, we think that our traditions have become more meaningful than ever before.

Originally from the Midwest of the USA, we moved to the #blackforest in 2013 and quickly embraced #expatlife. As American expats living in #Germany, things weren't always easy, but we've grown to love our life in Germany. We started this #travelvlog​ to share our experiences with friends and family, and to help those who are interested in moving overseas! Whether you are interested in moving abroad, working abroad, studying abroad, raising a family abroad, or just want to #traveleurope, we're here to give you a first person look at what lies ahead.
