Who we are
Stefan and I have been a couple for over 15 years, so I (Vanessa) will try to be brief. In 2021, Stefan has received an offer from his employer to go to the USA, more precisely to Los Angeles. That was about 3 months before our wedding and still in the middle of the lock-down in Germany. Pretty quickly we decided to accept this great offer. From that point on, it took about a year and a very tough visa process until we could finally get on the plane to Los Angeles on 4.4. Now we live in beautiful sunny California and would like to tell you a little bit about our experiences here.
Stefan
is definitely not known for jumping in at the deep end. He has worked in finance for more than a decade, focusing on that rare combination of analytical and rhetorical strengths. Then, in 2021, came the once-in-a-lifetime job offer as director of finance in Los Angeles. Vanessa was immediately hooked, and here we are. The first time in the U.S., he slowly learns to appreciate the beautiful nature of California and looks forward to everything that is yet to come.
Vanessa
discovers new places with enthusiasm, loves good food and often can’t decide between trips to nature or to the city ( LA is huge!). Professionally it is similar, loves to be creative, whether as a graphic designer or workshop leader, and recently also trained as a yoga teacher.
