Don't they eat nothing but meat? And do I find it easier to get by in the US, where the selection at stores seems to be endless? I've talked about this topic here and there in my videos and on social media but I finally decided to dedicate a full video to this and share my personal views and experiences in Munich and Cincinnati.

My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 27, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)
