Meet Thomas: relocating to Hamburg, twice!
Episode description
Meet Thomas,
An englishman who moved to Hamburg twice!
He first encountered Germany 🇩🇪 watching german cable TV as a teenager, and from there went off to work in Hamburg a first time.
After a few years back in the 🇬🇧 UK, he started to miss the German rules that initially bugged him and went back to Hamburg, this time relocating with 🎮 InnoGames, Germany’s leading developer and publisher of mobile and online games.
He tells us:
- How he approached his move differently the 2nd time,
- How learning German helped tremendously to integrate,
- How InnoGames helped him settle in
- How he now feels home and wants to get involved in local community by having a vote that counts therefore he went on and got his german citizenship, as well as the Irish one (more as a backup for Brexit).
His recommendations for Hamburg:
🍸 Bar: Sofa bar for a few G&Ts http://zoebar.de/
🍞Restaurant: Lokmam Turkish restaurant with the best flatbread https://lokmam.de/
🚴♂️Carte blanche: take a city bike and ride around the city and along the lake.
