Expats in Germany - Navigating Healthcare Housing & Bureaucracy
🎙️ EXPatio – Your Home Away From Home
Moving to another country for work is about much more than finding a job and a place to live.
It means learning how a new country works—healthcare, insurance, taxes, banking, housing, schools, bureaucracy, culture, language, and everyday life.
And often, nobody tells you how to navigate these things.
That’s why I’m starting Expatio—Your Home Away From Home, a new podcast series in English, created for international professionals and their families moving to a new country—with a particular focus on Germany and Europe.
Each episode will focus on one practical topic, bringing together specialists, professionals, and people with lived experience.
We’ll talk about:
🔹 Public & private healthcare, emergency rooms & hospitalization
🔹 Insurance: liability, home, belongings, bicycle, car & legal protection
🔹 German bureaucracy & administration
🔹 Banking, personal finance, loans & German taxes
🔹 Housing: short-, medium-, and long-term rentals & buying a home
🔹 Kindergarten & school: onboarding, communication, grading & the public education system
🔹 Language, culture & communication
🔹 Building community and social connections
🔹 Daily life and the things nobody explains before you move
And many more topics along the way.
💬 I’m looking for experts and people with real-life experience who would like to join these conversations and share practical knowledge, mistakes, solutions, and lessons learned.
Because sometimes the best information doesn’t come from a handbook.
It comes from someone who has already been there.
🎧 A little background
Before Expatio, I created two seasons of a podcast in Romanian, featuring conversations and stories about Romanians living away from home. Some episodes also have English subtitles.
🎙️ You can find the first two seasons here:

Expatio is the next step:
from personal stories to practical conversations that can make starting a new life abroad a little easier.
🎙️ Expatio – Your Home Away From Home
Real conversations. Practical knowledge. A better start in a new country.
If you have expertise, experience, or a topic you think we should discuss—I'd love to hear from you.
And if you know someone who should be part of this conversation, tag them or send them my way.
