Rachel-American in Bavaria, Germany
@georgiagoneglobal
American in Germany 🇩🇪 because the military said so — everything after that was my idea. I document the in-between parts of expat life as it unfolds: cycling classes that anchor the week, movement in all its forms, surviving the DB train system, learning to recycle without public shame, and European weekends that rarely involve overplanning. Life abroad isn’t about perfect trips. It’s about finding your footing, lingering over good coffee, wandering old streets, and letting castles, cobblestones, and cocktails mark moments—not milestones. Equal parts structure and detour. Mildly organized. Slightly delusional. Frequently curious.
