☞ • 🌿GET TO KNOW ME TAG! 🌿...
I moved to Greece from the US this year. So happy I did it. And it just shows theres so many ways to make things work because I def dont have help from family. I hope my channel inspires people like yours. Great video by the way!!
How did you do it sis??
@@keepinitkawaii saved everything I could and GI Bill. But I wouldn't recommend coming on a student visa. You can't work.
@@ComeTravelwithK seems like the student visa for Germany is the same with not allowing you to work. I do want to go to school wherever i end up but I'll probably aim to get a work visa instead of student. Thanks!
@@keepinitkawaii no problem. Good luck 🙌🏾
This is so inspiring. I plan on moving abroad to study French and hopefully to stay. I want to move completely put of America to Europe and embark on a new journey. It's good to see so many make it happen. 💙
i’m only 15 but i’m planning on moving from America to Europe in the future! this video helped lots and i have a much better understanding:)
we don't want u here lol
hope you succeed! I personally wanna get the hell out of europe as soon as possible and move to America, wish we could just 'trade places' or something haha
@@coolbro546 then I'm really interested as to how you came across this video
@@coolbro546 and by "we" who do you refer, you and all your cool bro's, if we are being honest, you are probably the one that no one wants there with your comments
@@brithanyhernandez3086 no one wants him anywhere
Thanks so much for sharing all this information. Plan on moving to Germany next year with my family.
Glad it was helpful!
I am currently doing research and learning so much because I want to move to Germany next year, and I came across your channel by accident and I’m glad I did because this video give me some insight and you was truly helpful 😊
I hope you got to go!
I'm only 11 but I plan on moving to Germany! Your videos are so helpful!! :)
You seem like a very assertive person. Keep it up!
love the way you explain all that I'm actually planing to move on
I know it will be hard in the beginning but you will make it of course 😭 And glad I can help!
Thank you so much for this tip, I liked the part you talked about "grabbing your opportunities" I moved to Germany almost three years ago to study nursing and have not had a genuine connection to this place could be due to the nature of my prospective Job...I must say you are blessed to have gotten what you got...keep enjoying your stay here sis
I am super blessed but I think me grabbing at my chances is what helped me out. I hope you can find a connection here, it might take a while but... Anyways thanks for your comment! 💕
Your whole aesthetic is a vibe! The colors, the style, amazing. I studied abroad in Germany for about 5 months and getting a legal resident permit was one of the hardest things to do before settling down.This was a helpful video!
Thank you!!
Wish we could hang out. I’m military and stationed in Germany...
Hello How are you I want favor please
@Anna Matthews what did you say? can you explain me please?
I think General Patton said something like that.
Baumholder or Graffeworth?

Oh and your vlogs are like watching a really good movie. Ijs
Yes 🙌🏾 create you own opportunities and shoot for the stars!
Thank you so much !
I just discovered your channel and honestly I've just finished watching pretty much every video. Amazing stuff! I was born here in Germany and then moved away. I currently came back to study and it's a whole different experience being here as an adult compared to as a child. I'm honestly considering moving back to Germany permanently in the future :)
I love your story and I hope things continue to go well for you, I feel so inspired now!✨
i’m moving to belgium in less than a month, thanks!!!
Just found your channel. New subbie here and i'm loving it 🤗 i'm from 🇱🇨 living in 🇯🇪 and i love it here. Xx
Thanks for subbing!
Oh. You're a teacher. I taught in Colombia for two years and left. Now back in ja and looking to start a new venture soon. Hoping for a new start and new experiences and learning a new culture.
I want to move to Germany too. I was looking at this year as I just finished university (I'm Nigerian BTW), but due to the pandemic, it'd be next year. I wanted to do masters first before I work but it's a pretty long process and a little complicated too.
Masters isn't entirely a long process with the right information people have been coming for their Masters despite the pandemic...I could help you sis.
@@Charms_nwa I'd really appreciate the help🙌🏽
Fumilayo Nengi Okay...Instagram maybe?
@@Charms_nwa okay, what's your IG handle?
Fumilayo Nengi the_lotanna and yours?

New subbie!! From one Jamaican background to the next-- I love your channel💖💖
Thank you girl 💕🇯🇲
You are so inspiring! Thank you girl
You are so welcome!
I kept looking at your beautiful skin. This was very informative. Good luck as you move ahead in life
Thank you!!
Zoe I luv that shade of pink on your lovely complexion, wear more... best wishes.
Great story about how you got your new job!I am in Lithuania but my final destination is Germany for sure!!
You’ve gained a new subscriber! Love your videos and the way you speak 😍😍 I’m currently living in Europe temporarily and hoping to stay a little longer and work
Thank you!! And I hope you do end up staying :)
You look pretty gal. I just found your channel and i am hooked next time move to Sweden 😀
Thank you!! 💕
Thanks you I have plans to move to the UK some of what you mentioned was on my list. Been watching and taking notes on how others move abroad. Have a wonderful week.
Thanks for watching! And I'm glad you can take some nuggets from my videos :)
I am from Russia! And i am so excited that i came across your channel! My goal is moving to abrod, like to New York or Australia 💖 Lots of love
New sub,I love your explanation
Thank you 💕💕
This is super helpful! You make it sound a lot less scary than Google 😭
You go girl
That was very informative......you are a very mature young lady.
I found your channel and fell in love and now I feel like I have to go back to some of your old videos to catch up with your life, might not get to watch all your video because of my busy schedule but I will def keep up with the recent videos and your journey is amazing God bless. Also following you on IG now you have a new subscriber on both accounts forever lol. And also, your tips are very helpful for whoever looking to move to Europe very good detailed tips. I too had started this journey and I live in NYC and did my post-graduate degree in London. But the Prime Minister at the time D.Cameron had to change the post-study visa where students stay and work by removing it and that was the main purpose of my studying there because I wanted to move there. I tried again in 2016 by going and doing interviews for jobs I was applying to in NYC. But long story short it did not work out for me and I return to New York it was major difficult to get a job to sponsor me to work since a lot of changes was made in the UK during that time. And of course, now they bring back the Post-Study visa in 2020. But not to feel defeated I am happy that I can still get to visit Europe and family in the UK and my Aunt in France whenever I want by not overstaying my time and spoiling my passport. But Europe is beautiful and I will not trade my first time living and studying there in London by myself girl, although I have a large family there I was by myself in London first time moving away from home. Now am studying Nursing to pursue a Nurse Practioner and possibly a Doctor of Nurse Practioner. So I look at it as everything happens for a reason and what's meant for me will not pass me by. ❤
Thank you for sharing your journey and you are right! Everything happens for a reason. Look at you now studying to be a whole nurse! Congrats!
Yeeeeeees indeed thank you
Hello! I just wanna say I'm new to your channel and you're literally living my dream! Currently I'm living in Japan teaching English, but I studied germanic studies in university and I've always wanted to go to Germany. 😣 I can speak German to a certain degree too. I want to try hard to move to Germany in the coming years. Berlitz is in Japan as well, but they really don't pay well, so I've never worked with them. You've really inspired me though. Thanks for the videos! 😄
don’t move to germany
New subbie. Great video!
Thank you 💕💕
I am moving to Latvia from Australia when I am older
I don't mind u posting every day as this holiday of coronavirus is kind boring
I'm bored too haha I think I might just do that 💞
@@ZoieMarie i came hier to look your beautiful face just post daily And yeah Germany is a nice country i also live in München
Keep up the good work zoi. Love your channel. You’re very ambitious girl. Intelligent like dad. Keep doing this. I will follow your channel, and encourage all who I can, especially young girls whom are wondering where they want to head in life. Beautiful girl. Lots of love.
Thank you so much! 💕
Thank you! I am thinking of moving to Europe but first no I want to vacation and live there for be like a month or two in different be places. I have a good job in the US so inorder to make a big move I would have to assess the job market there. Thanks for the info. 🤗
I agree with you 100%! Definitely try living in the country for a short period before officially moving
You can get a job with a US company or the Federal gov't or DoD in Europe.
Thanks. I am moving back there to Germany to raise my child next week. I am from Harlem NYC NY. Can you please give me some advice on where you found cheap housing in the south? I would really appreciate it
Great video. Thanks for sharing with so much breakdown. Also you didn't say how much you're paying for this apartment. It'll be nice to know 😉
I was very surprised fr ur last vid about living in Germany, southern part, that folks were a bit taken bac by ur skin color, reason bein football (soccer) is a huge sport there and they do hav a lot of black players there that play for many different teams thru out Germany so that threw me and yes I do agree wit de other comments that you’re a very attractive woman, fr a Trini... good luck over there
I am planning to move to Germany in the future
New subscriber. You're a really cool person
Thank you 🥰
I'm trying to convince my younger sister to move out here by showing her your videos 😁
Zoie!
She's gorgeous, be friend 😊❤
Yes picked up your Jamaican accent..
Yes girl
Will they do video interviews? An international plane ticket is very very expensive
Hey! I'm an English teacher too. I'm Turkish and I'm currently living in Turkey. I was very hopeless about finding teaching jobs in Europe until I came across to your video. Do you think non-native English teachers stand a chance teaching English at schools in Germany? I'd be really glad if you answered. Thanks!
Great video,one question though I'm moving to Spain in 3 months, I know English but I don't speak Spanish, Will I be able to easily find a job here?
New Subscriber 🤎 so so happy I found your channel
You are gorgeous and I love Germany! I would love to move there in the near future. Can you do a video on costs ie, rent, utilities, food, gym, etc ? BTW- I can totally see you in London or one of the smaller cities in the UK. You will do amazing!
Check out my vlogs! I try to give some insights on how much I pay for groceries and etc. Will try to include more about rent prices and such 😊
Thank you. I am moving to Wiesbaden in July. I work for the US Army.
How does the military help with that? I am joining the national guard and wondered how long I can stay in Europe .
@@frostfistace7813 You can get a federal job in Europe or a job as a DoD (department of Defense) civilian. It's a good way to get a job in Europe. I made a video about it: kzhead.info/sun/h9KvlZGerYqQqH0/bejne.html
I love your videos and am going back to rewatch the older ones. Is your current position related to you degree? Also, if you took out loans for college, do you continue to pay those even though you’re not in the U.S.?
Yes! I did have a small loan from college and yes I did end up paying it off when I moved to Germany
So refreshing. How is Germany faring during the pandemic.
I think they are faring actually ok (in my everyday living). Although, I am not too privy on the covid cases numbers and etc.
I have a question! If I have a friend that's born and raised in Germany and she still stay there, can I use her as a reference and get an appointment or would it have to be a airbnb?
Thank you for posting this I have a question beside teaching English what other field to you think is tranferable to work abroad with. I know health is ok but what about mental health field could someone with Masters or PhD/PsychD in clinical psychology get a job abroad.?
Hi, I do not want to give any false information. I can only provide info on how I managed to move abroad so I am honestly not sure about the mental health field. What I know for sure though is that the German government is going to check first if a German can do that job before any foreigner.
In Germany for that kind of job your knowledge of German should be very good. Either B2 or C1 is required because most of your job will be communicating with other people. Just about all the successful immigrants that you find on KZhead speak German fluently, even if they do not mention it. As a German employer I would expect you to interact with my local customers and your colleagues in the local language.
Hey dear really like your videos by the way what are the requirements or teaching English in Germany?
Thank you! And I would say minimum is a bachelors degree in English or some teaching certificate but every job is different so you may have to research
Hi ! I’m from New York as well . I’ve been wanting to move to Europe for some time. I am between London and Germany. I’m currently in a data analytics program that will end in June. I will start looking for jobs soon. Germany I have family but they are 5 hours away from the major cities. & London no family but I do have family closer in France. This was helpful, I will look for jobs apply and see what happens❤️
You should definitely do it! It will be such an adventure 💕
Theresa Amouzou I stopped the video at 8:17 while she was talking about the bank before she started talking about finding apart. There’s so much Sister is not telling you. The MOST important thing you should do when considering leaving the US is to learn the language where you want to live!! I haven’t seen any of the other videos but if that wasn’t the first thing she advised you all, then this is a disservice, because without the language you will always have to either work for the Military, in an American based Company, or be an English teacher. Also one of the best things to happen, without the language skills, is if you are good on the eyes. German men LOVE, WORSHIP, and FANTASIZE about Black women!! I knew before she said it that she had very little problem finding an apt. because she’s a Black FEMALE!! If she was a Brother, all that changes. Now you become a threat. Either there’s hidden jealousy, call it penis envy, or they’re a Skin, Nazi, lost a girlfriend or know someone who had a friend/ sister that had a relationship with a Brother or flat out prejudice. And if you don’t learn the language before you get to your NEW life, you will have to either find and associate with those that speak your language and therefore you will be living half of your life. The other thing is how are you going to communicate in everyday life? You have to hope they speak American, or you use smoke signals, point, or somehow try to convey your intentions. I am not knocking Sis, I am just telling you what I know after 35 years in Germany. Also, it’s very seldom that a Black women has a Black man. Back in 85, before I got here , I was taught a little German from my Moms work Colleague, Anna Schmitt. She told me, your going to Love Germany, because German woman Love Black men. And she was right. All I am saying is don’t get this adventurous feeling, save your chips, jump on a plane, and be miserable your whole time wherever. Do your research, save your money, and first of all LEARN THE LANGUAGE. It makes living there more enjoyable, both Culturally, Socially, and Financially. But one disclaimer is, if you don’t have IT, you can’t Speak IT, you can’t Afford IT, and you don’t look like IT, you will be struggling like 95% of the foreigners that come here. I haven’t seen this video to the end yet, but I’ll bet the Sister has a White/ German man, and I’ll bet he’s either self employed or somewhere in Administration in the Company where she works? Tell me what you think. Oh and I don’t know where you live, but in Nürnberg, Southern Germany, people are so used to seeing Blacks, there were 5 Instillations in this area, that if someone stares at me I know they come from somewhere else. Although most of the Americans are gone from the area, when a German sees a Black person they assume he’s from Africa because they try to PASS as Americans so that they’ll be better excepted. But after a few questions, if it comes to that, or a few eye contacts, they see the difference and the theme is squashed. So you do you, but there’s more to being successful in a foreign country then being ambitious and wanting to see the world. And NO I don’t have a White/ German woman. I’ve lived proudly in my own apt, without FWB, for almost 22 years, and I can’t be bought. Next year I retire and life is Wunderschöne. Ciao‘. PS. I was trying to figure out was City she lives in with so little Blacks and now I know. Stuttgart. The stuck up Porsche owner. Chicy Mickey. Ok I understand things a little better.
Theres lots of helpful moving & living in London videos you can find on KZhead
@@brianhardaway9716 a lot of interesting information. And yes, I did expect her to say to learn the language first! I think Nelson Mandela once said that when you learn a man's language, you speak to his heart... I have never been to Germany but from a friend who has, she said that where she stayed (can't recall), once the local people realised she knew know German, she was basically ignored.
@@brianhardaway9716 Sir, you should start a KZhead with all that knowledge
Excellent video !!!! She is on top of things-_-- be prepared--- look professional !!!!!! Grant B.
Beautiful
You look pretty !
Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️ New Subbie 🙋🏼♀️Im hooked

Hello
Please can make for us a video where to shop decorations & furniture similar to usa and how to use bath & body works plugs in Germany like how you keep similar & familiar usa life in Germany I'm the lady who messaged you in Instagram. Again thank you for your modesty & your quick response
Yes!!! I can do that definitely! 💞
Why some of your people are so racise, I feel tears since last three weeks ago... Some call Africans Lab Rats, is it fairly, see what they done to Senegal in Africa, killing 7 kids and disrespect our people.
Yeah, English language teaching. I do it too and I love the job. But I have maybe 20 years of pension contributions as a permanent employee ("Angestellte"), so I won't be living in poverty on retirement (which is a thing here). So I just want to underscore Zoie-Marie's point. It's a good entry job for any country, but you're self-employed. Health insurance and pension contribution comes 100% out of your income. If you just want to do it for a few years and then go home, no problem. But if you want to stay here, you either need to transition out of it or find a way to maximise your income to pay for these things. Somehow.
Is great information, I’m 60 do you think it will be good for me to move to Europe, if there jobs for me?
Is it true you just need a job offer to get a work visa in germany as a US citizen!? Thats what I've read but it just sound to easy/good to he true. Like I could get a visa just being a dishwasher or something similar with not having a degree?
Hi, im a jamaican living in trinidad wanting to migrate to germany what other tips can u give me
How is it adjusting to Germany and making friends?Did you already speak german before you moved?
Where is the top from? 😍
Hi I enjoyed your video. I like the fact that you are not economical with the truth. I moved last year from Poland to Germany, though I am a Nigerian national married to a Polish. I am having a problem finding a Job because I can't speak German. My husband speaks some German so it was easier for him. My city is close to dusseldorf. Please I would really appreciate it if you can help me or connect me to someone who can give me a job... I am trying my best to learn the German language. I am still at the beginning level but I speak very good English. I have applied for so many jobs but they keep telling me you need to speak German to get the job. I will be very very happy and grateful if you can help me with a job or give me the connection. Thank you
Hey Zoie I'm planning on visiting Germany in August. I don't know anyone there but during the pandemic I decided of all things to learn the language. I'm not fluent but I'm still at it. I want to use what I've learned. Let me know what you think
I think you should be fine! Most Germans do speak English and if you go to a big city you'll definitely should be ok :)
I'm curious, why Germany? As opposed to England, France, etc.
As an American woman, can I move out to Germany & register my daughter into 10th grade High School?
Sis where did you buy your blouse? 😍
Its from pretty little thing :)
Today you look so beautiful love you dear 💓
I’m moving to Europe next year
Wishing you luck! :)
