All good things must come to an end. Like many cliche phrases, however annoying they may be, they are often true. After over 70 episodes, Josh’s move to Germany, lots of back and forth trips between Germany and the U.S. to see family and friends, the time has finally come for UTS to pull into its final station and blow the whistle one last time. Join us in this last journey down memory lane as Josh and Feli reflect on the early beginnings of UTS, our favorite episodes, the way this podcast has impacted our lives, and some of your lovely comments of support that we have received. As hard as it is to say goodbye, we are so unbelievably thankful for you all joining us on this incredible journey!

You know him from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube Shorts as the guy in the grey tracksuit, the crossbody bag, and the Birkenstocks. Liam Carpenter is originally from the UK but at the age of 18, he came to Germany to pursue a career in basketball. In today's episode, he tells us all about how he went from the basketball court to social media and which of the German stereotypes that he usually makes fun of, he's actually adopted into his own life!

*NO EPISODE THIS WEEK*Hey guys! Unfortunately, we didn't get to record a new episode for you this week (due to the time issue we mentioned last time) and I'll actually be on vacation next week so the next episode will come out in 2 weeks. Thank you for all of your kind comments and messages in response to last week's announcement about the upcoming end of the podcast. We're just as sad as you are but we do still have a few cool episodes planned! :) You guys had a lot of suggestions for guests so we're going to try and make those happen.And for two topics, we're actually still looking for guests:1. We'd love to talk about differences in the application and recruitment process in Germany vs. the US and invite two people to the podcast who work in Human Resources in Germany and the US, respectively. If that's you or you know someone who would be a good fit for this, please shoot us an email at [email protected]!2. One of our viewers suggested to talk about American military families/military brats and we think that’s a fascinating topic. Did any of you grow up in a military family or do you know someone who did and who would be willing to tell us about their experience on the podcast? Shoot us an email!Thank you so much for your ongoing support! 😊

You guys submitted your questions for us on Instagram and we picked a wild mix of questions for today's Q&A episode! From funny curse words to questions about the podcast and a throwback to when we first moved abroad. We definitely got a little nostalgic! And we also had some news to share...

Almost two years ago, we got to interview Josh’s high school German teacher, Christine, about her experiences moving to the U.S., teaching German in an American school and raising a family in Cincinnati. This week’s episode is almost the sister episode (or perhaps it’s more appropriate to say daughter episode) to that as we had the chance to chat with Christine’s daughter Lena. She grew up in Cincinnati in a German family and only recently moved to Berlin - her first experience living outside of Ohio. We had a great time chatting with her and learning about what it was like to grow up in the suburbs speaking a language other than English at home, if she feels more German or American, what German things she grew up with in the American Midwest and what her experience has been like moving back to her parents’ country of birth! We hope you all enjoy this episode and let us know if you can relate to any of Lena’s experiences!EP29: Where It All Began - An Interview with Josh's High School German Teacher ▸https://youtu.be/m0V3CT0vuTAEP4: Work-Life & Office Culture feat.

+Unfortunately, Josh's mic sounds a little muffled in this episode, sorry about that!+ After a short hiatus, Josh and Feli are back with another episode and this time we are in Cincinnati! A few weeks back, when Feli was visiting Munich, we asked you all what you wanted to know from the people of Munich and then we hit the streets and got asking. This week’s episode is the sister episode to that. We asked you all to send us your questions for the people of Cincinnati and then we made our way to the mall to get chatting. We loved this little mini-series and hope you all do too! Let us know in the comments what YOUR answers are to the questions (even if you live in a different city or country) and what surprised you! Did we get you planning your next trip to Cincinnati?!

Living abroad can be one of the most amazing experiences, but it’s not always sunshine and rainbows. While the topic normally takes a back seat to amazing travel experiences with amazing food and landscapes, friends and social circles can make or break your experience while living away from your home culture. In this week’s episode, Josh and Feli discuss their opinions on the importance of building a strong circle of friends while abroad, their tips on how to do so, and share some differences in how people socialize in Germany and the U.S. Make sure to share your thoughts and experiences on this topic in the comments. We love hearing from you and you might just help someone else!

If you follow us on Instagram (@understandingtrainstation) you know this episode has been in the pipeline because a few weeks back we asked you all what you wanted to know from the people of Munich. Armed with the questions we collected from you, we hit the streets and got talking to people. From Munich specific questions about travel tips, rent and favorite breweries to stereotypes of Americans, we collected the answers you wanted! We hope you all enjoy this episode and since we plan on doing a counterpart of this episode in Cincinnati soon, let us know what you want us to ask the people of Cincinnati!

While we were both in Munich we tried to make the most of our time together and record as much for you as possible and that, of course, includes a dialect episode! We’ve been doing this series for a while now and after 7 episodes we finally made it through all the audio files you sent in! We love getting to hear from our listeners so this a fun way for us to connect with you and vice versa! Make sure to let us know in the comments how many you were able to guess correctly and if you want to participate and have your dialect included make sure to send us an audio file via anchor.fm/understandingtrainstation. We hope you all enjoy!

Greetings from Munich! Even though Feli's trip came with some complications, she made it home and we got to record an episode in person for you! Granted, we're fresh off a sugar high from all the Krapfen from Fasching/Karneval/Fastnacht… you get the point! Just as a lot of people are surprised to hear that Fasching is celebrated in Munich, we have both been surprised by certain things or culture shocks in our respective chosen countries when we first moved there. From the size of the infrastructure and the true “rudeness” of customer service in Germany or the gun violence and religious prevalence in the U.S. there is a big difference between knowing something and truly experiencing it. Even the most well-prepared travelers can’t be prepared for every situation and quickly learn that it’s best to expect the unexpected. We hope you all enjoy the episode and let us know what surprised you when interacting with other cultures!

▸Moving to a foreign country, even if just for an exchange semester, can be daunting and confusing. For many, it is the first time they are confronted with the complexities of dealing with foreign governments and applying for visas. While it all can seem really scary and almost insurmountable, we wanted to help provide a light at the end of the tunnel and share our experiences with immigrating and applying for the necessary permits and visas that allow us to live in the U.S. and Germany. Please keep in mind that we aren’t official advisors on this subject, but we hope you all can gain some inspiration and insights into how it all works. :) We really covered it all in today's episode: From what it’s like to have an interview at the consulate to being interrogated at the border after an unintentional overstay. We would love to read about your experiences and questions on the topic in the YouTube comments!

When it comes to adulting, one thing is inevitable - we have to work. Whether you have a 9-5, do shiftwork, or are self-employed, we all have our own ways of financing our lives. While it is something so fundamental to modern society, there are many differences between how work is seen in the U.S. and Germany. A common saying is “In Germany, one works to live while in the U.S. one lives to work” - but is that true? In this week’s episode, we talk about our work experiences in both countries, what stereotypes exist in the work world, and even the physical environments we work in. Whether you’re currently in a “Großraumbüro”, in a cubicle, or just enjoying the podcast in your free time we hope you enjoy this week's episode and make sure to let us know your thoughts on this topic too!

▸After a bit of a Christmas hiatus, we are excited to start the new year with some highly requested guests! Jonathan and Ashton are originally from the Midwest but have found their home in Germany's Black Forest. On their YouTube channel The Black Forest Family they regularly analyze complex differences between Germany and the US, like why Germans seem to increasingly turn away from religion or which country leaves their residents with more money, but they also document their personal journey of raising a child there and even building a house! From cycling through the beautiful area around Freiburg and the French Alsace region to the struggle of finding American-style household appliances and wanting to learn German to be able to understand their son, Jonathan and Ashton had so many fascinating stories to share and we hope you guys enjoy them as much as we did! :) Make sure you check out their website ▸ https://www.blackforestfamily.com/ and YouTube channel ▸ https://www.youtube.com/@TheBlackForestFamily to hear more about what life is like for a young ex-pat family in Southwest Germany!

▸This week’s episode is a first for UTS! Not only have we never had a guest from Brazil on our podcast before, but we've also never had someone join us who we didn't have any prior connections to through social media or friends. Matheus is actually a fan of the podcast and reached out to us on Instagram offering his time in case we ever wanted to talk about anything Brazil-related. So -- spoiler alert -- we did and we really enjoyed our conversation about the differences between Brazil and the rest of Latin America, the language difference between Brazil and Portugal, and the German influences in Brazil. Matheus also shared some tips for anyone who wants to visit Brazil! We hope you all enjoy the conversation as much as we did and make sure to post your questions for Matheus in the YouTube comments. (And yes, the 7-1 world cup game may have come up as well 😅)
