Midlife mayhem, moves, and mildly controlled panic

We’re DeutscheBound!

This is our real-life journey as we move from Portland to Deutschland.

Schön, Sie kennenzulernen!

Get To Know Us

We’re Greg, Brittney, and Oliver — a couple (plus one very opinionated dog) preparing to leave Oregon and start over in Germany. We’re documenting the real-life journey of moving abroad, resetting our lives, and building something new — one video at a time.

What’s DeutscheBound All About?

Planning Our Move Abroad

Planning a move abroad is a major undertaking. From visa hurdles to pet paperwork, we’re sharing every step of our journey as we prepare to move to Germany — the good, the bad, and the bureaucratic.

Learning A New Language

As complete beginners, we’re navigating the challenge of learning German later in life — one awkward conversation at a time. We’re tracking our progress and sharing language tools, strategies, and honest updates along the way.

Life In The Pacific NW & Beyond

Before we relocate, we’re capturing life in the Pacific Northwest — the places we’ve loved, people we’ll miss, and everyday moments that matter. We’ll bring you along for our final adventures here, and share first impressions of our new life in Germany (culture shocks included).

Reinventing Our Lives

This isn’t just a move — it’s a full-life reinvention. We’re changing careers, focusing on our health, and redefining what midlife can look like. From learning to code and building new habits to moving our bodies (and our belongings) across continents, we’re documenting what it means to start fresh — with purpose.
