There’s this other famous Kansas girl. How much do you and Dorothy have in common?
Dorothy and I share an affinity for pups, both own a pair of ruby red slippers, and have found ourselves in a tornado’s path once or twice. But she lost me at the flying monkeys and talking scarecrow. More than anything though, neither of us seem to back down from a challenge, no matter how far away we find ourselves from the beautiful wheat fields at home in Kansas.
What makes life abroad, specifically in Hamburg, worth it for you? Schnitzels count!
I love waking up everyday knowing that I will learn, see, experience something new. Whether it be a new expression in German (Digga!), a new type of meat (where does this madness end?!), or rule (we are in Germany after all)!
You’d like to write your own memoir. Can you share a funny anecdote about moving to Hamburg that absolutely needs to go in there?
There are so many to pick from… but here’s one from when I first moved here: While filling out a personal information document for work, under ‘Familienstand’ I wrote ‘Leidig’* instead of ‘Ledig’… when HR pointed it out I told her both were technically true… ha!
* Leidig means tiresome
The best schnitzel in Hamburg… hmmm… so far has proven to be pretty darn delicious.
