Alysia recently joined Next Level German for a conversation about one of the most complex and emotional topics facing internationals: how do you build meaningful romantic connections in a country that doesn’t always feel fully yours?

In this episode, explore the realities of dating in German as an expat; from cultural nuance and language barriers to identity shifts and the deeper emotional work of ‘belonging’.
