Jen is originally from Guatemala and Yvonne is from Germany (Latin America and Germany - a mixture close to Josh’s heart). We loved learning more about what led them to start their website and YouTube Channel, hearing about how they both ended up in Düsseldorf and exchanging experiences with them about what it’s like to be LGBTQ+ in our respective countries! Make sure to check out their content to get tips on how to make the move to Germany go more smoothly. We hope you all enjoy it as much as we did and Happy Pride!

Om Podcasten

In our podcast “Understanding Train Station”, we (Josh and Feli) explore the intricacies and pitfalls of living between cultures. The title is derived from the German idiom “Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof” which literally translates to “I only understand train station”. Similar to the English saying “It’s Greek to me”, it is used to express a lack of understanding which is an all too common feeling when dealing with another culture and living abroad. Feli (aka “Feli from Germany” on YouTube) is a German living in the U.S. and Josh is probably the most “Germanized” American you’ll ever meet.
