How German is the US? In collaboration with the GermanAmerican Heritage Foundation and the German Embassy, I'm on a mission to discover the German roots of different places all over the country. After my trip to Chicago last year (link below), I got to visit Washington D.C. this time and was blown when I found out how big of an influence German immigrants had on the American capital! Come along as I learn about the role that Germans played in the construction of the US Capitol Building, how a German military officer saved the American army during the Revolutionary War, and how German immigrants were involved in the death of President Abraham Lincoln!

ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 28, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)
