I love the German communities and the architecture. I can already see a lot has changed.
Spiderman it’s so beautiful here!!
Great Video! I love your enthusiasm! My Sister and I are Americans living in Germany! We love it here!
are u italo-american?
You sure bring back lots of good memories for me, I was an American that first Military, then Civilian that lived in Staat Hessen for almost 8 years, thanks for showing this video.
I love your new house, can't wait to see what you choose for deco because you're so amazing at it.
Thank you so much! I'm so excited to start filling our house with home 😍
I was so excited for you!!! Beautiful house❤
Thank you so much! I'm so so happy here!
My fav part was when Calvin got to see his room and got his surprise... I love your house..
It was definitely a genuine reaction! He hasn't quit riding it around the house lol.
Thank you!!!!
This brought back memories a family first went to Germany June 1996.
“This is my face right now” literally laughed so hard because that’s something I would do. Absolutely love the houssseeeeeeee
Ha ha! I couldnt leave out the fact that my jaw literally dropped when I saw that lol. It was the craziest thing id ever seen (dealing with food that is lol)
Thank you!!! Me too! Can't wait to start making it feel like home!
Just saw this. What a sweet video. I want to hear you playing that keyboard. Calvin loves his new bike. Are you in base housing? If yes it’s the nicest base housing I’ve ever seen. We’re retired Coast Guard, and I’ve seen lots of base apartments and houses. I’m impressed. 😀🍀🍀
Nooooo, we’re off base! lol. We were determined to live off base here because we couldn’t in Okinawa.
Calvin rides his bike through the house ha ha. When life slows down I want to learn to read notes better so I can play right. I know a couple songs off memory but not to reading sheet music yet!
Can’t wait to see those towns covered in snow!!!
I love that you can rent movies!
Renting movies was our saving grace lol. Without them we had like NOTHING to do at the house lol.
You and me both! Its gonna be so beautiful!
Your house is so spacious! Your bathroom is to die for. I noticed the fancy door handles. Nothing like that here at MacDill-FL and lol you just answered my question about the commissary and Exchange at Ramstein. Travis is thoughtful and such a great Dad getting those gifts!
I am so in love with our house! It's amazing! He picked a good house for us all! They lock down, open sideways and tip the door propped open if you turn the handle up. They're so cool!
We had friends that came from Macdill. About it being the biggest in the world? lol
He really is! God really blessed us with him!
I didn't know Ramstein Exchange was the biggest in the world! Actually, I remember you stating separate videos coming up on the Exchange and commissary at Ramstein. My Dad lives in the next town over from us (retired AF) and shops at the Coast Guard station near his house. So I went to check it out and I said to myself whaa??? He loves it--but so teeny tiny!
Ha ha ha that's funny. It's crazy to think about how tiny our first bx and commissary was in comparison to these ones lol.
Yes, those will come later!
I lol'd the first moment I saw your dog in your lap he looks so happy
The car was full 😅 he was happy ha ha.
I lived on the Island of Sardinia, Italy for a few years while with the Navy.We had a submarine repair site there. Our daughter was born in Naples, Italy at the Nato base during an earthquake.
Oh how cool! We're hoping to make a trip to Italy this year!
So many exciting things happening!! So glad you guys are all together again!! Living in Germany already looks likes it will be amazing!!
Yes! It's gonna be incredible, I know it. We went for a drive today, it was beautiful! I can't wait to see some of these hills covered in snow or bright and sunny without any fog!
Yes, but november is the worst month in the year.
So dark, wet, foggy and the cold days comes.
December is a little bit better, because of christmas with all the little and big christmas markets everywhere. :)
Yeaaaah it definitely gets dark pretty early! lol.
I'm so excited for Christmas markets. I know there are some open right now and I can't wait to take everyone with us to them!
Oh my gosh! Christmas Markets sound wonderful! Christmas in Germany!!
Ill take everyone with us, don't worry! I'm so excited to share the wonders of German Christmas Markets 😍😍😍😍
Hey girl! My husband and I were at spangdalem! We miss it so much
Hey! That’s awesome! We love it here. Hopefully I can help you not miss it too much with videos ha ha.
I almost started "live commenting " I was so excited 😂 I stopped myself though lol
But seriously ...the church bells 😍
Calvin and his new bike
your face about your surprise
also yay for having Travis back in vlogs!
Lol live comment away! I don't mind at all! It's like a conversation 😊
Im almost upset I cant hear them from inside the house lol.
It made me so happy getting out of the car and hearing that!
He LOVES his new bike! and I LOVE my keyboard!
He's a keeper! 😍
My son was born in witlich Germany!
So bummed I never got to come back through there. Hopefully our paths cross again soon. ☺️
We might go back stateside next summer so maybe then if y’all haven’t moved
Oh man, u were just 1 min away from where we live in Landstuhl. Welcome to Germany guys :)
Oh cool! We're in Landstuhl a lot! Thank you!
a quick mention, only because there is no sign limiting your max speed, dont expect every corner to be able to drive through going 100kmh, especially if the middle strip is missing
We drive the road everyday, we’ve learned how fast we can and cannot go on it! 🙂
That’s only roughly 62mph for us, which is a pretty normal/common speed for backroads/highways! 🙂 thank you!
This is how a vlog should look like and not like those selfie-mode things where most of the picture is always the face of someone who is too much in love with herself. Welcome to Germany with universal health care and tuition free colleges. :)
Sadly the USA have become a mess.
Thank you! Lol. I try to have balance between face on footage and point of view footage 😋
We love it here so far! 😃
Sorry but universitys are not free anymore for not european students..
@@Sonnenanbeterin1991 I have a lot of people in my study program from India, Columbia, USA or Mauritius. You just have to proof you are able to live in Germany without the need of social security systems. They pay the same for a semester at university as me. It’s like 100€ for the public transportation ticket and the semester fee for the student union.
wish my wife would have done what you guys did she didnt want to go overseas. she just dont know what she was missing. enjoy for me to ok. have a great time
Thank you! I’ll go anywhere, live anywhere. 😃
You're wife's nuts lol
“Shut up Siri” 🤣🤣
Watching because my grandson, wife and young children are moving to Bavaria asap. TFS.
Its quite a bit different than here I'm sure, but they should enjoy it just the same. ☺
@@ProjectWink I'm sure they will. Several trips over to visit his wife's German Oma and Opa in the Black Forest and then in Bavaria convinced them to move.
I was gonna suggest that you be sure to visit the castles in Bavaria- but it looks like I'm about 2 years too late-!!
Super gucci home i love it ⚡👌😀
Thank you! We love it too! 😍
I miss Germany 😭
Welcome, have fun.
If you learn some German, youmight get some friends in the neighbourhood. OK, it's much German.
Thank you. I’m learning German. I know a bit, but not enough to have a conversation lol
3:20 greeting by the bells.
The landscape looks very similar to Pennsylvania or New England :-)
It also looks very similar to the Pacific Northwest where were from. Washington state. 😍
bademeister that’s why they call it the “Pennsylvania Dutch” 🙃🙃
Seeing this makes me excited to move to Germany. The Pandemic is delaying our deployment so I'll just have to be more patient. Thanks for this. P.S. How is the beer flavor there?
Thats awesome!
I know the stop movement is really screwing with a lot of PCSing and TDYs.
I'm not a fan of beer lol but my husband tells everyone to try Cola Weizen (cola visen) - it's literally beer mixed with coke. 👌🏻
@@ProjectWink Thanks for the advised. I will definitely try it.
Amazing house!
Thank you!!!
@@ProjectWink location please
Welcome to germany
Can I know the price and location ?
Hallo, the roof is not the best solution for the dog. But dogs have to be secured as long as the car is moving. Just as persons or pieces of luggage. Optimal is a kennel (bolted or strapped if there is't a separation like a net between passenger room and boot) in the boot. Or the dog wears a harness fixed to the locks of the back-seat belts.
I’m aware, thank yooouuu.
I don’t have a time machine though so we’re just gonna have to take this situation for what it is and move along 😉
Hello and welcome here, i hope you have a good time. :)
How was the jetlag?
Is someone of you german?
Winkler is a typical german name.
klaus kleber thank you! Jet lag wasn’t that bad. Had to adjust a little.
I’m not sure the story on our name. It’s my married name. My husband said he knows that a long time ago relatives of his went to the states from here just before the war- but we don’t know who exactly.
Then he should find the place, where his family came from.
It's a mission. ;)
Many US people have found their roots and the places here in germany, where they come from. :)
I'm sure we will research it later and find out more. A local told my husband the other day where a lot of Winkler's come from in Germany and that we should visit that town because of it.
Your surname is actually very common all over Germany and Austria. In my small countryside town two families have this name. See www.surnameanalysis.com/Winkler-surname-distribution.html
She looks very German to me.
I love your house! We’re at lakenheath hoping and praying to get ramstein next!
Omg stahp. I've been looking at housing there! Ha ha ha. Mildenhall was on the last listing for us, we're hoping there's another spot come February when our listing comes out! How funny!! 😍😍
But also, thank you!
Project Wink it’s beautiful here, I hope you get it! We love it here so much we want to extend, but at the same time we wanna try our luck with Germany! We’ll see!
I've heard nothing but good things! I think you'd really love it here too then!
We were in Japan before this so we wanna stay overseas but we really want to just speak the language again 😅
Whens your deros?
Project Wink Nov 21, hubby has to make a decision shortly! I think he’ll extend because we have kids
Crazy! Ours is October 21. Can we just switch places?! Ha ha. I've been watching housing videos from there too, so its crazy you found ours from there. 😊 fingers crossed yall get what you want! If you end up here, lemme know. I can answer any questions you've got!
Love your video from Brazil
😍
Your son is adorable!
Thanks Jen! 😍😍
So is the dog.
new fan
Yay! Thank you!
Been to Germany in 86, such a beautiful place
Hi, is there a website we could go to where we can see the houses for rent? We're about to move there and we're trying to find a house, appliances, furniture, etc.. It would help if there was a place/website whether military or not that we could check out while we're in the US. Any tips, really, would help. Your videos help a lot because they give us ideas what to watch out and what to prepare. Thank you! Btw, we already contacted USAA, they said we're set regarding insurance. Thanks again!
For houses to rent you’ll wanna check out ahrn.com, homes.mil or Bookoo.com for the whatever area you’re moving. As far as furniture and appliances go, if you’re military they will help you out with that stuff on base. On base loans our appliances for the length of your tour and you can get temporary furniture when you get here for as long as you need - it’s not the greatest stuff but it’s better than nothing. If you’re not military I’m not sure how it all works.
@@ProjectWink Thanks, I'll check them out. Yes, I found Bookoo.com while looking for stuff to buy so we won't have to bring our 110v appliances. We can't wait!
The actual name of the yellow diamond sign is fried egg! ;)
Really?! The priority road sign? 😜
😂
Does somebody know the song name right at the beginning?
It was made for our channel 🤗
Well, do you have a full version, you could upload?
Wow! Such a beautiful home with such huge rooms and a wonderful kitchen! I have seen "House Hunters International" where the European custom is for the home owners to take their ENTIRE kitchen with them. Yes, you arrive to find walls and sockets. No cupboards, sink or appliances in the kitchen at all!!! 😒😨🤥😛
Thank you so much! 🙂
Oh gosh! That’s crazy! We have noticed here it’s pretty common here to replace your entire kitchen every couple of years instead of like in the states where you have the same kitchen for years and years.
I really love your vlog; I have watched it since you have announced to go to Germany. I love to see how foreigners see my country. I hope you enjoy it nearby Dietschweiler. I recommend to get Döner from a place which cuts it in the traditional way, it usually is of better quality. czcams.com/video/DsKYSKrJsVA/video.html
I was really astonished to see that you were able to name "Rolladen" in the proper German way. I can't wait to see more of your German adventures. Ramstein has the biggest Commisary, however I encourage you to try German grocery stores in order to experience their food.
I don't understand the empty fridge; why has your husband not gotten the required food to survice for at least the first day?
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! So far I love it here - plan to shop off base as much as possible once I find my way and figure out how to function ha ha. I'm sure we will try more Döner places, that was just the first one a friend of my husbands had showed him.
Like ro-lah-dens right? Not roll-a-dens? My father in law used to live here and we were talking about them, he taught me how to actually say it ha ha.
Also, he just bought very basic food for himself while here to save money. He doesnt eat very often, he doesnt need much lol.
Where is your house, I mean what is the nearest major city..? I hope you dont mind me asking
Major city? uhhhh, Kusel? That's probably the largest within 20 minutes. Or Kaiserslautern.
@@ProjectWink Thank you for answering, hope you love your house!
In my biggest dreams, I can only imagine.
13:15..."moms" and "pops"- looks like everybody is well represented-!!
So, what is the cost per month for a house like this (Euros or USD)?
We pay 1240€ a month for rent and a couple utilities.
I am from Germany ,the homes there are very different then here in america.
Heard from one Russian who emigrated to US. - They construct houses from cheapest materials and still houses are expensive as hell.
WHATS A REPUTABLE PLACE ONLINE TO LOOK FOR HOMES? WHAT PROXIMITY IS B EST 20MIN 30? IS IT SAFE TO LIVE OFF BASE?
If it wasnt safe they wouldn’t allow us to live off base. It’s 100% safe 👌🏼
Ahrn.com is where we found our house.
Thank you for the reply, is keeping a budget hard to do once there ?
It’s not any different than living anywhere else.
Is the base under Ramstein ?
I tried to go to the web and it couldnt find it by that name ?
Nice videos
They used to use ration books for the Esso gas instead of cards.
Either way, it's annoying lol. Gas was cheaper on base in Japan too and we didn't do this.
@@ProjectWink When the ration books were used, you just ripped out the coupon for the value you needed off base and you didn't need them at all on base. Used cash. In some ways it was much easier.
More like trip to see German Haus.
I want to move to Germany too 😭😭😭
Ive heard germany looks alot like oregon where i live i have to agree
And washington, where we're from 😋
Yes oregon and Washington are only divided by the Columbia
Dallas Williams I agree, except the landscape is more rolling. Same green and temperature. I’m from Portland
3:26...well, if your battery is dying, then CALL AN AMBULANCE!!!
What town in Germany thanks
Near Miesau.
Greater Kaiserslautern. They have the letters K and L on their car.
Bro..Gib mir so ne Karte zum tanken ;)
Do you know the City ,,Worms''? That is where i live😭😂♥️
Lissy Sophie I’ve never heard of that. But I looked it up and it says you’re about an hour from our place 🙃
Project Wink ok😱♥️
Hi
Eating tasty Döner! Very good! ;)
We love Döner 😍😍
My
That is sooo much food lol
Nice house, nice neighbourhood.
wear in germany is that
Our house?
You should visit Austria also we have an american village with the name Fucking they have massive problems with tourists stealing their villiage signs, so don't be this kind of visitor, thanks.
😂😂😂😂 We plan to travel there sometime! But we definitely won't be stealing anything ha ha. Id rather get stuff like that in video than take it home! ha ha.
Looks like u were in Bruchweiler baerenbach
No, just in our village and Landstuhl 😀
The French and Spanish absolutely are the kings of architecture and interior design, the Germans are def not good at it.
Do you live in Kaiserslautern?? I live only 20-30 minutes away♥️♥️😭😂
We live in Nanzdietschweiler 🙂 we’re about 10-12 minutes from Ramstein 🤗
lol Nanzdietschweiler is the most german sounding name of a village I have ever heard of.
And I am saying this as a german :D
Patrick liegt direkt neben katzenbach, also ja .. sehr deutsch 😂
@@Patrick-sd5vf Even for Germans it's hard to pronounce 😂
Is this in Germany?
It’s DEUTSCHLAND you monster 🙋🏻♀️
Nice try, but that instrument is not a Piano. Maby you wish for one but it would take quite some space in the House. Anyway, viel Spass und alles gute in Deutschland.
Hans B. Wow... you are kind of a jerk... nice try at being a decent person
@@honestmomvlog nice try the "jerk" , but I'm not offended. You US guys like using foul language 😂.
I know were you are :D
👻👻👻 ha ha.
Project Wink i don t live that far a way. I live in germany with my mom but my dad a american
Oh cool! Where do you guys live? Probably a bigger village than ours 😅
Does your dad live here too?
Project Wink we live in Mannheim. No may dad and mom are not toghter anymore. My mom moved back to germany and my dad is in texas
A stop sign in English at 2:04? WTF?
All stop signs here say “stop” on them lol. They did in Japan too.
Are these just the signs that are on roads that are on base?
No lol. All stop signs here say stop. We are two hours from base right now and the stop signs say “stop”.
It's the same word in German.
the stop sign is used almost worldwide
Is that gas station on the base? I would take a job there so I could roam around Germany.
Yes it’s on base. Ha ha.
Could you possibly ask one of them how or whom they went through to get a job there please?
I tried to search Esso and a bazillion other things but came up with a biz goose egg. Thanks.
It’s more than likely under aafes. Search aafes jobs. 🙂
Thank You, I appreciate it. I'm looking for a pretty big change from the pacific northwest after loosing my 13 year old son to cancer, and having no family to speak of.
I am so sorry to hear that 💚
Fortunately, the climate and landscape is identical to the PNW 🙃
Definitely see what all the aafes jobs have to offer 🙃
Cheese on a Döner? Ugh... 😂
That’s a thing here 🙂 I don’t know what kind of cheese it is but it’s nothing I’ve had before 🙂 it’s good though!
Project Wink I never saw that here in Germany
It’s really common in this area 🤷🏻♀️😅 try it! 🙂
Johnson97 Its also pretty common in Saarland. Usually it's goat cheese.
Why do you want to live in germany?
Why wouldn’t we? It’s beautiful here. There’s so much history, so much to see and so much to learn.
Ok? We are neighbours then. I live in Switzerland and a part of my family lives in germany too. Welcome in the old dark europe!!
We love it here. 💚
But also my husband is military, that’s the reason we’re here.
They HAVE to live there. They are part of the American occupation forces in Germany.
I'm German and if I had the choice I would not choose to stay here.
Lovely, but Germans are not that laut. Maybe it is because of the excitement? But American lady's are mostly a bit laut! Why i am telling this,? People don't like it here. In the whole of Germany it is the same. Not so laut and we don't talk that much. You are a lovely lady. It is just an advice!
I don’t understand. I think there was a miscommunication between something I said and what you understood.
It was from my side just a good advice. I had to smile because of it. Welcome in Germany. I mean this honest. But a bit" piano" . If we are somewhere, we are not that laut. If you read more here on CZcams you will know what i mean. Everything okay? Have a great time here! I am in the north Western part. Hamburg-Bremen.
Hahaha, kaufm a Haus, des woss vorher nu goa ned gsehng hom. Des miassn Auslända sei.
wir haben es nicht gekauft! 😂😂😂😂 wir vermeiten.
Mein Mann ist hierher gekommen, bevor ich es tat. Also hat er es gesehen, bevor er es gemietet hat 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ah, ok, ic. Btw, dein Mann kann sich glücklich schätzen - bist 'ne Hübsche!
Das ist so nett von dir! Ich bin auch sehr glücklich! 😋💚
Danke schön!! 🙂
der Typ im Supermarkt sprach Englisch?
That was on base.
Nope thats not a Piano, a piano is bigger & not electronic!
So Its a Keyboard ,not a Piano !!!
Thank you Miriam Webster👌🏼
Erbsenzähler!
Caspar Hessler 🙄🙄🙄
Nope, you are not a nice person, a nice person practices manners and self control!!!
So you are an A** not a nice person
