About me
When I moved to Berlin in 2012, I didn’t know where to start. I made mistakes which meant everything was more difficult than it should have been.
|
Since then, I learned German and the language of bureaucracy, and, as an experienced relocation agent, want to make sure that you don’t make the same relocation mistakes as me.

How I can help
Relocating or moving to Germany will involve a whole host of daunting organisation and bureaucracy. Without my knowledge of how things work, the whole process can be stressful and emotionally draining.
