Crunch Time! Final Weeks Before Our Move to Germany
In this episode, we share all about what happened during the final weeks of our move from America to Germany. They were stressful and hard, but necessary in order to move our family of six across the world.
Here we share the logistics of our final weeks in the USA before we moved to Germany, in the middle of a global pandemic. It can be done! Itβs harder to move during these times, but not impossible.
What Were the Last Few Weeks Before Our Move to Germany Like? STRESSFUL, LOL
I show you footage of our shipping crate, show you the luggage we took with us on the plane, our COVID tests we had to take before leaving, last sad moments in our house (that we loved!), and more. Moving to Germany was a dream for us that is now a reality β but weβd be lying if we said it was easy to get here! Hopefully you can get inspiration from our story if youβre also wanting to do this yourself.
