    What happens when a family uproots their life and moves to a new country, only to find more warmth and support than they ever expected? That's our story as we kick off season two of the "2am Club" podcast! Relocate with us to Fürth, Germany, and listen to how we navigated the maze of finding a suitable nursery for our son. Forget those horror stories about long waiting lists and unhelpful systems; our experience was filled with pleasant surprises and genuine community support that made our transition seamless. Our baby bunny joins us too, making this episode extra special and heartwarming.


    Imagine finding a new home that feels right from the very first video tour. We take you through our journey of discovering a charming house near Nuremberg, defying our initial hesitations and doubts. Persistently searching and trusting our instincts led us to a place that not only met our needs but exceeded our hopes. We talk about the delightful contrasts between our welcoming new community in Fürth and past experiences in Nuremberg. This move has had a profoundly positive impact on our son's well-being and our overall sense of belonging, transforming the way we view home and community.


    Lastly, join us as we explore the cultural nuances of life in Germany, from the differences in self-criticism and praise to the efficiency and affordability of the healthcare system. We also discuss the universal issue of safety perceptions and how our preconceptions were proven wrong. Parenting through this move posed its own set of challenges, yet our child quickly adapted once familiar belongings arrived. We touch on teaching life skills, sleep patterns, and outdoor activities, while also previewing what's to come this season, including vital discussions on women's health.

    Our season finale!!!!!!

    Our family is preparing for yet another transformative journey, as we plan to relocate to a new country. While professional reasons and the necessity to depart from Dubai initially drove our decision, our hearts had already been yearning for change. With Svenja's pregnancy and the birth of Munanui, we opted to postpone the move temporarily, but now, the time has come for us restless souls to embark on a new adventure.

    Our primary focus remains on nurturing our child's resilience amidst change. We refuse to settle for mere convenience; instead, we embrace the growth that arises from overcoming challenges. Despite having moved across six countries in the past, this relocation marks our first as a family unit. With a toddler in tow, our reality is swiftly evolving, and we eagerly welcome each moment, acknowledging our fears while also recognizing that they will fortify us as individuals and parents.

    Our relocation extends beyond the physical act of packing boxes; it's a holistic endeavor aimed at simplifying our lives, reconnecting with nature, reveling in fresh open air, and reclaiming a sense of normalcy.

    As we gear up for the upcoming season of our podcast, we extend our gratitude to our loyal listeners for their unwavering support. Together, we not only share our own journey but also shed light on the inspiring narratives of fellow families, embracing the occasionally chaotic yet beautiful tapestry of family life.

    We strive to live life, not just as a lifestyle!
