Hallo! I’m Joshua, a business student from California currently studying abroad in Germany. Over the next few months, I’ll be immersing myself in a new culture, adapting to life in a different country, and exploring all that Germany has to offer. From navigating Germany’s world-class transportation system to indulging in local cuisine, I’ll be sharing what it’s like to live and study here.
One of the most exciting aspects of my journey is learning how Germans get around, whether it’s taking high-speed ICE trains across the country, hopping on trams in Heidelberg, or figuring out the best way to explore new cities on foot. I’ll also be diving into Germany’s rich food culture, from classic dishes like schnitzel and bratwurst to the international flavors found in bustling markets and cafés.
Beyond food and transportation, I’ll explore Germany’s deep history, visiting castles, museums, and cultural landmarks that tell the story of its past. Along the way, I’ll experience everyday life as a student in Germany, meeting people from around the world and gaining a new perspective on education and business in a global context. Let’s explore together!
