Discover Germany through the eyes of a Kiwi expat- with Rory Mitchell (New Zealand)

Hi everyone,

Please welcome with me Rory Mitchell from New Zealand. In late 2021 Rory decided to pack his bag and move to Germany during the covid-19 pandemic. He is now living there happily ever after.


In this episode, Rory provides valuable insights into his life as an expat in Germany.

His dream of living abroad began when he went to Latvia as an exchange student in his teens. After establishing his career and financial stability, he finally took the leap of faith to move to Germany. Why did he feel ready to relocate in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic? Rory shares several key reasons, with a significant driving force being a relationship.

Rory was fortunate enough to afford buying a house in Germany, having sold his house in New Zealand before his move. He compares the home-buying processes in both countries, revealing astonishing differences, particularly the notorious German bureaucracy.

He explains the visa that allowed him to work in Germany and how he obtained it, offering advice for anyone considering a move to Germany.

Rory also discusses his journey of learning a new language, highlighting both his struggles and achievements. His major tip for language learners: Be persistent!
