and you will be greatly missed! Like you said- you came here for a reason and you have learned (and taught people along the way) so much that you can take with you on your next adventure!! I am so sad I only got a fraction of your time here but I promise this was/is not our last encounter.
Will catch you in Germany and State side! Thank you so much for everything you taught me, and for all the fun we had throughout our multiple collabs
Read this video title in shock! Sad you're leaving Germany but glad you're feeling so positive about the future and congrats on starting your SECOND masters! Looking forward to following that journey with you here on your channel.
❤️
@Patrick Fitzgeraldwhy do you ask?
After 1year... I did leave germany in 2023 April... I am much happier now
Did you return to India?
so you returned to milk kows in morocco?
Bro, I'm a Foreigner, really it's shit in Germany! I'm not just talking about the job, everybody's dead inside here and folks are pretty conservative and close minded
I just don't like the way these folks are behaving which is always out of fucking fear and despair, they're not even close to American people in terms of openness and being just a good old happy Yankee!
Du musst das machen, was für dich das beste ist und womit du dich glücklich fühlst ❤️ wir werden dich trotzdem vermissen. 😒
this language makes me feel so horrible. i had so much trauma in Germany
Likewise lol @@hamletqesirzade4732
I’m sad that you are leaving but happy you are doing what’s best for you! Good luck!
Thanks so much ❤️
Shocked, but totally understand. Will miss watching you being in Germany, but excited to hear that you'll have more videos. Thank you so much for sharing what you did of your life here! CONGRATULATIONS on getting accepted to Master's program. All the best xoxo
Your time in Germany has gone by so quickly but you've definitely made the most of it and had impacted so many people in the most positive way. I'm definitely a better person for knowing you. You're gonna kill it in the States! Give it your all, best wishes to you. So sad that you're leaving but your wings are too bright to stay. You have so much more to offer on your next adventure. This is not the end. Take care and we'll see each other again soon 👊
I’m so sad to hear this. It’s been so nice to see you explore Germany. I’m surprised you didn’t go to school here since it’s cheaper and your level of fluency in the German language, but I have heard that the job situation for expats can be challenging.; I think that is why Soldier for Life, the other American in Germany left. Congratulations on your new adventures!!
Note: there is a fair number of Americans in Germany, see for example the channels "Passport Two", "My Merry Messy Life", "Our Story to Tell", NALF, "Black Forest Family", "Hi from Hamburg" (currently leaving Germany, as well), and "bigfun ... American in Germany". Although most of them are actually families, only NALF and "Hi from Hamburg" are, as far as I remember, a "single" American.
So sad to hear you're leaving.
I *know* you will return some time.
Hope the USA will treat you well.
Thank *YOU* for having been here. You were a fascinating, insightful, honest, open observer with massive language skills to boot.
I am certain you will remain so. Hope to see you again.
What I don't get is why you are going to the States for your next master's degree?
Isn't that going to be hellishly expensive? Couldn't you enter a German university and save a LOT of money here?
Oh, and did you tell Hayley you are leaving? I am certain she will be sad as well. Your little chats were always fun to watch.
Ah, you have taught me so much about moving to Germany and what to expect as a black man. Sometimes you have to walk away, you’re spreading your wings little by little.
You’re a great person and I expect great things for you. Congrats on the next master’s degree!
Give your family in Michigan a huge hug!
Much love from MO ❤️
Of course I gave this vid a thumb up, although it was a not obviously. cause the fact, that you're leaving I doesn't like. But I know it's the right thing you do for yourself and not doing it would you make feel sorry for the rest of your life. You're not only having goals but you follow them and you work hard to reach them and that's making it more easy to let you go. My dear friend, thank you for sharing all the exciting adventures you had, thanks for all the thoughts and new perspectives you gave us. And thanks for being like you are. And for sure it's not good bye, it's a "see you soon". You know that there are people in germany who will welcome you back, whenever you want. I wish you all the best for the new chapter of your life and all my blessings will be with you. You can be very proud! thanks for everything, my friend! take care 🙂
I hear you brother. I'm surprised and not surprised. I dislike repeating this, but as someone who lived abroad for 25 years in 5 different countries I really hear what you're saying. Whatever you do, where ever you go I feel quite confident that your path is very very bright and that you'll do great. I was so happy to be able to spend a few good years with my dad here in Michigan before he passed away in 2017. Life is change whether we like it or not. Keep your head up as I feel you've done most if not all of your life. Your future can be what you want it to be.
Die Community hat Ihnen zu danken. Ich denke, Sie machen das richtig. Alles Gute weiterhin und auf Wiedersehen in Deutschland!
What an exciting new adventure! Love your perspective and what you hope to do by bringing global citizenry into your communities. It's something I've been thinking about too (going home)...which is scary but like you said...you will probably be back one day and this is just another stop along the way. Best of luck and hope you continue sharing your perspectives!
Thanks so much, David! Your videos are so heartwarming :)
Danke, dass du hier warst. Bring dein Licht in die Welt!
I wish you much success. Be a good ambassador of your experiences.
You are truly an inspiring person ❤ When you come back to Germany, come to Hamburg! Because of the harbour it has a long multicultural tradition so I think it will be easy to gain a foothold. And it's a beautiful city 😁 All the best for you!
Was punched by a racist nurse for no reason in the head in Hamburg and the police stood on her side. Also passive aggressiveness is very prevalent. It was honestly shocking to see so many supermarket clerks all of a sudden changing their attitudes to White German customers. Not recommended to coloured expats.
What a wonderful person you are. Alles Gute für Deinen weiteren Weg! Keep us updated! ;)
Well, the USA is even worse than when you left, I can only hope that you survive the change, and get whatever you're looking for....
You're cool man, i watched only a few of your videos, and i can say woth full certainty that i enjoyed all of them.
I hope you had a great experience in Germany and i hope the next chapter in your life will be great.
All the best! Alles Gute! I like your attitude and your ambition.
Danke dir, Julius! :))
So sad to hear you are leaving Germany. So excited to hear about your next step in life! Schuß!
In Germany we say, I am leaving with a crying eye and a laughing eye. Sad, that here you cannot follow your career, but your international background will certainly open more interesting opportunities for you. Did you ever consider working in the diplomatic service? Maybe with a UN organization?
Good Luck for your future path and hopefully a Wiedersehen . 😻
Too bad! But I can understand it and wish you much success for your plans! And of course I follow your videos also in the future with pleasure.
Thanks Lisa!
I have been living in Germany for 17 years now working at a school. I watch teachers from all countries come and go because Germany puts a person with a Master's degree like you to work teaching babys in a Kita! It is not OK even though you try to "schön reden" ...They never accept peoples qualifications for anything else and if you ever want to be anything else you are right to leave!
My freezer is warmer than Germans 😂😂😂😂.
Extremely cold hearted people.
I suffered for a year in Naziland 😂.
Sehr schade, dass Du gehst. Ich wünsche Dir alles Gute !
Take care of yourself and be happy🙂
❤️
Das ist schade, dass Du Deutschland verlassen wirst! Komm bald zurück 🙂. Alles Gute für Dich!
I am sad to hear that you are leaving . Be well where ever you decide to settle. Stay safe.🕊️💕🤗💯
3:13 that sounds interesting. would you make a video on the specifics?
Good for you! You are so authentic and I'm sure you're going to go far. The State Department could use your skills. Good luck!
good for you. you are a young man, you are not stuck when you are young. I sold everything i had and packed up the rest when i was 35, moved to the US, and i am doing something completely different from my actual degree. speaking several languages has given me key opportunities, so learn another one if you can ;) . I did find that it is easier here to get a job that you have no particular training in, as long as you can actually do the work. Germany is more focused on the certificates as a requirement of even getting the job. At the same time, you are less likely to find yourself in a situation where you have decades of experience in a particular field, and no formal training, making it difficult to find another job in a similar field. especially if you expect to make north of 100k.
Schade. Wir brauchen Menschen wie dich hier. Neue Ideen, Visionen sind selten hier geworden.
Aber wenn es für dich das Beste ist, dann muss das so.
Aber bitte sei vorsichtig. Die USA haben sich sehr verändert seit Trump :(
I know that I am late but I just want to say that you really seem like a genuinely awesome person. Your are such a light. All the best with your Masters!
Thats really sad.... I hope you come back to Germany some day
Wait a minute....were' nt you married to all german girl?
I even thought you had a child -wrong?
Any how - Good luck to you!
Mach's gut und lass was von dir hören! Halt die Ohren steif!
Have a wonderful time in your country and I love your plans and ideas . Good luck to you! I am although the first person in our family who studied. I just wish you the very best. We will meet in the global discurse ,sometimes.. somewhere..
The xenophobia in Germany is intense!
oh what a pity. It is a loss when you leave us here in Germany. I wish you only the best for your future and will continue to watch your videos. I would be happy if you keep Germany and its inhabitants in your heart.
Als du angefangen hast Deutsch zu sprechen war ich super überrascht, dass du so gut und komplett ohne Akzent in so einer kurzen Zeit Deutsch gelernt hast
Danke dir! :)
Noooooo!! 😱
💔
Auf deinem Thumbnail steht Tschüss, aber ich sag mal auf Wiedersehen. :)
❤️
I hope you travel safe.
Ich wünsche die alles, alles Gute auf deiner Reise.
I feel related to you when you say you’re the first person in your life to go to the University, is the same with me in my family and it’s really good to see the impact we have in their lifes by perusing our dreams and show that we can and yes they can as well.
Good luck with your plans, Chris. What a bittersweet goodbye. I'm looking forward to your videos from the US. 🙂
❤️
good
Go to Ghana c::: or Togo
😭。。。👍。。。🤗
❤️❤️❤️
All the very, very best for you - for your future, your studies and your personal life. Take good care of yourself. It's really sad that you you are going to leave, but it is good that you are feeling so positive about your future and want to try new things!
thanks so much!
so you're going back to the States to do a masters degree I'm trying to do the opposite. Go to Germany for a masters degree because of the cost
I got a scholarship or else I wouldn’t have considered it! 😂
Awwww
Good luck... America has changed a bunch.... wish you well... there is this open aggressive behavior....like its normal to be mean.... I hope it's what you want it to be...
Ich bin der Meinung dass man musst in vielen Ländern wohnen und arbeiten.
I admire your openness to experience and search for knowledge. This is a big and diverse world with many a wonderful culture, and he who only settles for one country and culture, have only read a single page of the book of life.
You are such a nice Guy. -Go your way . Have Fun. All the Best for you. Greetings from Berlin...
I admire you dedication and decisiveness. But with your background every move must be easier to deal with. Until you come of age and look for a stable environment? But that is more what Germans look for. I wish you luck and success with your studies. Perhaps you are more happy in an academic environment? Anyway, godspeed to you!
BTW, do you know Jay Stephan on YT?
I am sorry, that you’ll leaving Germany.
But if you haven’t no or damm less business future here. Take care and I wish you all the best of luck and healthiness. Hope the cya here on this channel or/and in real life
Your video just popped up on my TH-cam, and I will check out your earlier videos. I wish you all the best in grad school and with all aspects of your new life in the US. Warm greetings from an American who has been living in Berlin for most of my adult life;-))
I always respect people who like to learn all the time.. 🙏
Good luck and wish you happiness
Partir, c'est mourir un peu..... Thank you for all these videos and Good Luck for the future!
Im so touched, watching you for the first time - so sorry that you did not get a job here. But please watch for yourself and for your own energies! Great that you want to connect the world , thank you! But look for your inner energies and goals. Thank you, God bless you 🙋🥰💫
Take good care of yourself! I hope you can find the career you want back in the U.S. And who knows? Maybe one day you'll be back! ;D
Edit - P.S.: Congrats on your education! I bet your family is bursting with pride! x
Lenin says,said learn,learn,learn.You learn your hole life and then you get to know death😊😁😊

Welcome back home, brother. Glad you ventured and grew.
I wish you well on your next journey 😇 hope you come back though i really liked your perspective :)
Hey Chris, I LOVE that you say: Im am hungry for knowledge! You will go far, and you will enjoy every mile of the journey. All the best to you!!
Glad to hear that you take a new perspective from your life in Germany.. good luck in your future life :D
I find this very sad news. But I wish you all the luck back here in the US! This country has changed a lot through the years. Not for the better IMO. Thank you for all your great vids on Germany!
Hope everything works put as planned.
Viel Erfolg!
All the Best for your life as a „ lifetime Student“. 👍.
Choices you make in your life is what defines you on the road through time which is a good thing. Leaving Germany is only one step to claim a mountain . luv ya
siento mucho que tengas que irte d alemania, d todos modos mucha SUERTE en tu futuro y tus estudios.
Im shocked.....did anybody hurt you?
But why are you leaving germany???
Being a student for life is the right mindset. Alles gute.
It was a pleasure having you. :)
I can feel the sacrificing you have been through Germany iys just sick country and more yiu saty here you more sick
@@mohanadal-fawadi4982 how are you feeling about living in Germany
@@jamal93yall it's almost been 9 years now and I have PTSD got sick
@@mohanadal-fawadi4982 will you stay or leave Germany?
@@jamal93yall I am under treatment now
@@mohanadal-fawadi4982 wishing you a speedy recovery
Chris, I'm so sad to learn you're leaving.
I'd have really liked to meet you in person, maybe at one of these meetups for expats.
But I know you're doing the right thing, for yourself and for your country.
Best wishes, my friend.
This is the kind of man I would love to meet and work with. Open, honest, humble, hard-working, focused, community-oriented, etc.
May you find what you are looking for. Best wishes.
Thank you so much 🙏🏿
Von Herzen Alles Gute für Dich und Deine Zukunft! All the best, take care! Germany will miss you ...
Connect the world. 😀👍
I'm really sorry that you have suffer emotional pain that you have to endure in Germany. Otherwise, I guess that it would be different if you'd joint the West or the North of Germany instead of the south. Black people are treated just as natives here. P.S. Your German is perfect
I didn’t leave Germany because of the color of my skin…
What an exceptional video, from an extraordinary young man! Looking forward to your next chapter. BTW...you have a great presence, a great voice, and a great delivery. 'jus sayin'
Thanks so much Lucille!
So nice you're going back. The US is badly in need for people like you! You are intelligent, critical, calm and have experienced other cultures with their goods and bads! You can be a blessing for your homeland! You can really make a change!
Thank you so much 🙏🏿
So sad to see you leaving, all the best for the future, I think you will „wupp“ all the taskes waiting for you
Thank you for your best wishes.
Sad to see you go
You are more than special and a very smart person and also a wonderful human being. You deserve the best. I wish you good luck.
Thank you so much 😀
Welcome back to the States matey!
Hey Chris, I hear you and I feel you. I wish you all the best.
You should try France, you said you always wanted to live there. It will also improve your French😁
One day!
3:21 What? German Kindergardens have French Teachers?
The private ones do lol
