We’re Greg, Brittney, and Oliver — a midlife couple (plus one very opinionated Klee-Kai) documenting our journey from the Pacific Northwest to Germany. We launched DeutscheBound, our YouTube channel, to share what it really looks like to reset your life — with honesty, humor, and a bit of mildly controlled panic.
This blog is where we’ll go deeper: reflections, resources, and behind-the-scenes insights. But the main story? That’s unfolding every week on our YouTube channel.
What Our Channel Is About
We’re not digital nomads. We’re not on a sabbatical. We’re just regular(ish) people making a big move — across countries, careers, languages, and life stages.
On the channel, we share:
- 🧳 How We’re Moving Abroad — From citizenship and visa applications, planning, & pet paperwork to the emotional side of saying goodbye.
- 🗣 Learning German (as Adults) — With all the awkwardness and little victories that come with it.
- 👨💻 Starting a New Career in Tech — Brittney’s pivot to software engineering, midlife and mid-move.
- 🐾 Life With a Dog in Transit — Because moving a dog overseas is… complicated.
- 🎄 Vlogs & Everyday Life — From cozy PNW routines to our first Christmas in Europe.
What You Can Expect
We post:
- 1–2 long-form vlogs every week (8–15 min)
- YouTube Shorts and TikToks — for quick moments, cultural surprises, or Oliver being a silly goose
- Livestreams and community polls once we hit key subscriber milestones
We’re building this not just as a channel, but as a community. If you’ve ever considered moving abroad, starting over, or simply want to watch two people try (and sometimes fail) at learning German — this is for you.
