Moving abroad means finding a city that feels like home, and for me, that city is Munich. After nine years of living here, I’m making my case for why Munich is the best city in Germany (sorry, Berlin).In this episode, I share my 5 big reasons why life in Munich is so special: from its endless nature and sporty lifestyle to the Alps just around the corner, the city’s beauty and safety, its “village” vibe, and of course, iconic Bavarian culture (pretzels, Lederhosen, and Oktoberfest included).Berlin might be cooler, Hamburg might be edgy—but Munich has my whole heart. Whether you’re curious about moving abroad, planning a trip to Germany, or just wondering what makes Bavaria stand out, this episode will give you an inside look at why Munich is so loved (and sometimes hated) by locals and expats alike.⏰ CHAPTERS:00:00 – Why I made a full “Munich propaganda” episode05:20 – The best nature spots inside the city14:40 – Alpine lakes & weekend hikes in the mountains24:15 – Sporty lifestyle & outdoors culture32:00 – Why Munich feels like a “big village”40:50 – Bavarian culture: pride, pretzels & Oktoberfest51:30 – Final thoughts: Berlin vs MunichAbout The Pod AbroadHowdy und Servus, y’all!
