Berlin → Boulder | 21 Lessons Learned

Today, 10 months ago, we moved from Germany to the USA.

We sold all our furniture.

All the things you don’t even know about, you have.

Rented an apartment, we toured via Zoom.

Got the cats ready and left Berlin on a Friday morning at 6AM.

28 hours later, we arrived in our new home.

It’s been 10 months now, living in Boulder, Colorado.

Here are 21 helpful lessons I've learned during that time:

1. Don’t tell anyone your social security except the bank, employer, insurance and a hundred other institutions…lol

2. Start with a beginner’s mindset.

3. You’re new in a city, join a sports community to find friends.

4. Comparing your way to others is the easiest way to get distracted.

5. Time runs fast, go explore your new home.

6. Living healthy is more expensive than in Europe.

7. American people are more open to innovations than Europeans.

8. No one in the US can explain the healthcare market or why people get paid twice a month.

9. US taxes are way easier to file.

10. You can’t survive without a car in the US.

11. It’s very common to receive a paycheck (yes, paper).

12. Faith and religion is very present.

13. Be patient and curious.

14. You’re not going to know things, be brave and step outside.

15. Just ask questions.

16. People are bad drivers and traffic is crazy.

17. Be open-minded to meet new people.

18. You can't say yes to everyone and everything.

19. Buying at Whole Foods, bankrupts you.

20. Make your family the priority.

21. DOCUMENT YOUR JOURNEY.

While I'm surprised it’s already been a year, my wife always reminds me:

"Time flies. It’s up to you to be the navigator."

Well, that’s all for today, and I hope this inspires you to chase your dreams.

See you next week.

Have an epic Saturday,
