Season 1, Episode 8. Part of the adventure of moving abroad is assimilating into the culture. But how do you assimilate without giving up too much of your own self identity? How much of who you are is tied to where you're from or where you live now?
We sit down with friend of the show Jenny to talk about our own personal journeys to adapt to life in Germany while maintaining our sense of self. We chat clothing choices, minimalism, eating habits, vacation planning, and more. On the way, Nicole learns the term #nopoo, Jenny commends Americans on their great fork skills (though she concedes that we've got room for improvement in the knife department), Nicole admits to developing self-righteous recycling tendencies, and Jenny laments the lack of road trip culture in Germany compared to California.
