I Found My People in Germany | Abigail’s Move2Europe Story

Abigail always felt like Germany made sense for her — the culture, the work-life balance, the directness, and even the crosswalk rules. After studying computer science in the US and deciding Europe aligned more with the life she wanted, she set her sights on Germany and made the move happen fast.

In this episode of Move2Europe with SueJin, Abigail shares what it was really like moving from the US to Germany, from applying for jobs and adjusting her CV to navigating health insurance, visa paperwork, housing, and the EU Blue Card process. She also talks about German work culture, healthcare differences, learning the language, missing Tex-Mex, Sunday closures, and why she feels like she may have found her people in Germany.

If you are considering moving to Germany and want an honest look at the practical steps, cultural adjustments, and emotional reality of starting over abroad, this conversation is for you.
