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: https://lnkd.in/d9TRtm_x 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. 🇬🇧 EXPatio – Your Home Away From Home A new English-language podcast for international professionals and their families navigating life after relocating to a new country—starting with Germany and Europe. Real conversations. Practical knowledge. A better start in a new country. #Expatio #YourHomeAwayFromHome #Relocation #Expats #Germany #InternationalProfessionals #ExpatLife #LifeInGermany #Integration

Population Researchers Finland to Singapore - Adapting to Decline

Book leave time! I'm off my day job from now until November 9, traveling the world to learn from places that are finding positive ways to deal with population decline. The itinerary: Finland, Lithuania, Germany, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria, Japan, South Korea, Singapore. I'll be visiting cities and tiny towns that are rationalizing their urban footprints, caring for their elderly, investing in their workforces, integrating immigrants, and rewilding their rural landscapes. If you study these issues in those countries or have something to share about adapting to demographic evolution, I'd love to hear from you. ✈️

Chefs in German Fine-Dining & Michelin Kitchens - Working Conditions

[Mod-approved] German public broadcaster (ARD) researching working conditions in fine-dining & Michelin-star kitchens – looking to hear from chefs Hi r/Chefit, I spoke with the mod team beforehand and they kindly made an exception to the no-research rule for this post – thanks to them for that. I'm Hannah, a journalist working for ARD, Germany's public broadcaster. We're researching working conditions in German fine-dining and Michelin-level kitchens: hours, pay, hierarchy and the culture on the pass, the "passion as payment" trade-off, and where the line between hard work and abuse gets crossed. Even though the focus is Germany, I know many chefs here have worked across borders or have a clear read on the industry, so I'd genuinely value hearing from you – whether you've worked in German kitchens or want to share your experience from neighbouring countries (Austria, Switzerland etc). What I'm looking for: people who've worked in fine-dining/Michelin star kitchens and are willing to share their experience: on the record, on background, or fully anonymous, whatever you're comfortable with. No obligation to appear on camera. How to reach me: share your experiences here in the comments or contact me privately at [email redacted]. I'm happy to verify who I am first and send you a copy of my press card or an email from my official editorial address. Source protection is taken seriously, and nothing gets used without your consent.

German Women 40-55 in Berlin - Rebuilding Self-Confidence & Body Image

Looking for a German woman (40–55) living in Berlin for a documentary Hi everyone! I’m a French journalist based in Berlin, currently researching a documentary that will follow five women across Europe and their journeys of rebuilding themselves after a difficult life experience. The film is co-funded by Sephora and is planned for release on Amazon Prime in 2027. For the Berlin chapter, I’m looking for a German woman aged 40–55, living in Berlin, who has been through a major life experience, such as cancer, a serious accident, divorce/separation, bereavement, violence, or another personal crisis, and has since found a new way of reconnecting with herself and her body. The documentary will explore self-confidence, body image, beauty, self-care and the rituals that help us feel good about ourselves again. If this sounds like you, or if you know someone who might fit, please feel free to DM me. I’d be very grateful for any recommendations or leads! ❤️

Migrants in Germany 10+ Years - Leaving Over Politics & Society

Everyone's talking about leaving Germany — are you one of them? For an ARD documentary (Germany's public broadcaster), we're looking for people with a migration background who are considering leaving Germany — or who have already left — not for lifestyle reasons, but for political, social, or economic ones. We're especially interested in people who are returning (or want to return) to their family's country of origin — particularly those whose parents or grandparents came to Germany as so-called Gastarbeiter (guest workers) in the postwar decades. We also want to hear from people who have lived in Germany for at least ten years, built a life there, and yet — despite every effort to integrate — no longer see a future for themselves in this country. If you'd like to share your story and be followed by our camera crew, we'd love to hear from you. Filming would take place in autumn 2026. Comment or write me a direct message. Thank you! Best wishes, Maryam

Male 20-30 in Munich - Transition to Working Life Documentary

Looking for a male participant (20–30) in Munich for a documentary photography project Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a documentary photo project about young adults in Munich who are facing uncertainty as they transition into working life.

The project isn't about success or failure, it's about honestly documenting what this stage of life feels like. Alongside the photographs, I'd also like to conduct a short interview to include personal experiences and reflections. If this sounds like you or someone you know might be interested, I’d really appreciate hearing from you and would be grateful if you could briefly introduce yourself and your current situation when reaching out. This project is queer- and POC-friendly and aims to be an inclusive and respectful space for everyone involved.

I'll be at The Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart, June 9–10. I've been writing here about German BESS market for a while now — mostly to people I've never actually met. Stuttgart is the first time I get to do it in person, and that's the part I'm looking forward to most. I'd like to hear from you: why you read this stuff, what you're working on, what you wish someone would just sit down and dig into. To start, some examples I'm thinking about: – What revenue do you put in your business case in 2030–2040? – Which market is now where Germany was in 2022–25? – How alive is the third-party LTSA market — or are we still stuck with the OEM? What's on your list? DM me, and let's grab a coffee in Stuttgart.

Nordic & Baltic City Planners & Place Managers - City Center Watch

I’ve been thinking a lot about where city centers are heading, so I’m starting something new: City Center Watch! I’m getting back to updating my blog with a new angle, a monthly-ish roundup of city-center news from the Nordics and around the Baltic Sea. The idea is simple: I’ll collect interesting signals and developments on how city centers are changing, from street redesigns and public-space projects to waterfronts, mobility, retail vitality, place management and the future role of the urban core. The first edition looks at Helsinki, Tallinn, Oslo, Warsaw and Stockholm, with additional notes from Riga, Turku, Reykjavík, Aarhus, Copenhagen, Oulu, Stavanger, Kiel, Lübeck, Bergen and Gothenburg. Why city centers? Because the challenge of keeping the center as the living heart of the community has become a passion of mine. City centers are under pressure to adapt to changing patterns of work, retail, mobility, culture and everyday life, and I know many others are wrestling with the same questions. So let’s learn together. This first post is a bit longer than future editions will be, because I had some backlog material while getting the format started. From here on, the plan is to publish a new roundup roughly once a month. You can read the first City Center Watch here: https://lnkd.in/deymrqFM And if you have good city-center stories from the region for future editions, drop me a line. #CityCenters #UrbanDevelopment #Placemaking #PublicSpace #NordicCities

Hey everyone, I'm researching how expats adapt to the German workplace culture and language in their first months, especially people who arrived without speaking German and had to start a job almost immediately. Specifically, I'd like to understand what was actually hard, what you wished you'd known, and what tools (if any) helped you survive the first weeks. If you moved to Germany within the last 12 months for work, I'd love to hear your story over a 20-minute Zoom/Google Meet call! DM me or drop a comment if you're up for it. Would especially love to hear from people who started a job within their first month here. Danke!

Practitioners On Major Public-Sector IT Failures - Book Chapter Review

𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 I'm completing a book called 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒃𝒚 𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏: 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝑳𝒂𝒓𝒈𝒆 𝑰𝑻 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒔 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕. It proposes a framework of fifteen dimensions of bid fragility, drawn from analysis of 528 troubled projects. The research is built primarily from public sources — national audit office reports, parliamentary inquiries, royal commissions, court proceedings, and investigative journalism. What the public record doesn't always capture is what it felt like from the inside. The pressures, the trade-offs, the moments where people saw the problem but couldn't change the trajectory. If you worked on any of the following projects — on the client side, the vendor side, or in an advisory capacity — I'd welcome the opportunity to have you review the relevant chapter. I'm not looking for you to defend or relitigate what happened. I want to make sure I've got the story right, and the insider perspective matters.

I'd love to hear from you. And if you know someone who worked on one of these projects, I'd be grateful if you'd share this post or tag them. The more perspectives I can incorporate before publication, the stronger the book will be. The book is in final review and nearing publication.

European Flea Market Vendors - Digital Adaptation & Cultural Value

Recently I’ve been working on a story about a film prop museum started by a professional prop master in Shanghai. With AI being used more and more in visual production, their traditional rental business has been shrinking. At first, we were wondering: is this industry going to disappear? Are these craftsmen going to be replaced? But after digging deeper, the situation is actually more complicated — and kind of hopeful. For example, some of them are turning their collections into cultural experiences, inviting people to learn how props are made and used. Others are actively embracing AI instead of resisting it. They’re digitizing their physical props, building 3D databases, and even trying out online rental models. So instead of shipping a real object, you might just download a digital version. And then there’s also a growing niche market. Things like immersive theater, murder mystery games, or independent creators — they still need very specific, tangible props. That demand is actually increasing. So overall, I’d say the industry is definitely being disrupted by AI, but it’s not simply dying. It’s adapting, splitting into new directions. And interestingly, this story reminded me of second-hand market I visited in Budapest in 2024. A vendor told me business had gotten much worse after the Russia-Ukraine war. Fewer people were spending money. I remember him trying really hard to sell me a small dictionary for five euros — he even joked that it would pay for a couple of beers that day. And there was this older man showing me a translated version of a Detective Conan comic, really hoping I would buy it. You could feel how urgent it was for them to make a sale. Whether it’s film props in China or flea markets in Europe, these are all very physical, tangible economies.I’m actually curious to explore further: in Europe, are these second-hand markets also trying to adapt? Are they going digital, or finding new cultural value, the way prop makers are doing in China?

Gay Men in Berlin - GHB & Chemsex Experiences

looking to speak with people familiar with GHB + chemsex? (student article/confidential) Hello all! I hope this is allowed on here, but for my uni journalism class, I am writing a piece on G usage and chemsex in Berlin, specifically among gay men, although I am open to other perspectives as well. I am curious to speak with anybody who has experience with the substance/lifestyle (whether in clubs or in private settings) and are open to tell of their perspective. I am not interested in identifying anybody in the article beyond what they've told me, so names can be replaced with pseudonyms, etc, and I am approaching this from a non-judgmental place. As a young gay man myself, I am not here to moralize or sensationalize, but learn from a part of my community I am not too familiar with. I am happy to answer any questions about my piece or how exactly your voice and story would be incorporated. If you are open to it, I would be grateful to buy you a coffee, tea, or whatever, and simply have a conversation, in English. Feel free to comment or send me a DM. Thank you for reading :)

Interview Subjects - AI Companion Relationships - Germany

Short documentary project: People with intensive AI -contact Hi, we are Tom and Daniel and we’re students of photo and video journalism. For a documentary movie we are on the lookout for a person from Germany, who has more or less intense contact or even a close relationship (friendship or romantic) to an AI Companion. We are interested in how you experience this relationship and how you interact with your companion. We would be very happy to hear from you! Also if you’re a relative, friend or acquaintance of someone with such a relationship, we would be happy to talk to you as well :) We can discuss any further details via Mail ([email redacted]) or via direct message. Best wishes – Tom & Daniel

Interview Subjects Needed - LGBTQ+ Nollendorfkiez Residents

Where to find people from Nollendorfkiez for an interview I am a student at the Dutch School of Journalism, andIamworkingonagroupprojectaboutNollendorfkiez.Our goal is to make an innovating new media concept that targets LGBTQ+ residents of the neighborhood. But to come up with a cool idea, we have to know what they are missing! Therefore we are looking for residents that want to help us out with this. We would love to speak to some people from Nolli on the phone or on Teams. Since we are based in the Netherlands, we are looking for the best ways to find these people. Right now we are emailing queer organizations in the hope that they can help us out or have connections. All suggestions of other places where we could get in contact with residents are welcome! If you think you can help us out, or know someone that could help me with this, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. If you have any more questions about this project I am also happy to explain more.
