Summer in Berlin. Refreshing plans for the sun season

6/7/2023
Welcome back another Wednesday to ReloBerlin! In today's episode, I want to congratulate you if you have gone through your relocation process with me. Thank you! Now is where I would insert that famous singer meme saying that "I wanna thank me" because this is the LAST episode of the FIRST season. 10 episodes already?! If you have lived enough summers in Germany, you have already seen A LOT: FreiKorperKultur (FKK) Nudism is a big part of German culture. Do not underestimate it! But if you are still looking for refreshment, today is your lucky day! Because I have a present for you to celebrate that is finally warm enough to enjoy something to eat out in the sun If you visit any of them, I would love to know your thoughts and what your experience is. Please, remember to bring an extra bag to keep your trash and do not forget your sunscreen! ;) Want to travel around Germany for 50€ a month? You probably already have the Deutschlandsticket https://www.bahn.de/angebot/regio/deutschland-ticket You need to reserve a spot if you want to do it online But you will get it done with ease at any of the BVG's customer centers in Berlin. It literally took me 10 minutes as the queue was luckily not too long at Alexanderstr under the week almost at closing time. You will only be able to take regional trains. So if you are planning to travel somewhere that it would take over 3 hours of driving, maybe it is better to book some ICE or fast train tickets. You will be able to check the connections and the estimated time of travel with regional trains only here: On another note... ;) Here is the song "Es kamen Menschen an" by Cem Karaca And if you want to try a Kebab, since I am a vegetarian I cannot give you any personal references, but here are a few options I have heard good things about our Alternative tourSunday during June at 16:00 from Hackescher Markt Sbahn(Meeting point in front of the Starbucks)Booking must be done at least 24 hours in advancewriting us here with the reference "Alternative tour" I hope you have enjoyed this episode and I wish you a lovely summer!

Kitavoucher: Find a kita and keep your sanity. Anna Lette: how women fought for women to access superior education

5/24/2023
Welcome back another Wednesday to ReloBerlin! In today's episode, we will prepare to find a Kita. And the first step will be getting your Kitagutschein! If you have children under 6 years old, you can enroll them in the following: Kinderkrippe (from 8 weeks to 3 years old) Kita or Kindergarten (ages between 3 and 6, in either half or full day between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm) But finding a Kita can take between 6 months to 18 months depending on the city you are in. It is actually a harder process than finding an apartment! But I know EXACTLY what you can do Timing is the most important detail in this case. Some German families actually start with the Kita search as soon as they have decided on the name of their future newborn baby, if they want a very specific Kita. Where can you find a Kita? The following options will help you search Kitas in different areas of Berlin and see their availability Berlin.de Kita Database – This is the official resource. You add your address, and it gives you results for Kitas near your address The Kitas will show as available or unavailable as soon as you see the list, so it will save you A LOT of time Kita.de Kita Finder Similar to the previous one. You search first withing your Bezirk or area, and then you get a list where you see how many available spots each Kita has KITA-Suche Berlin You get a map view, but you can also select a list view and select a specific area I really like the language filter ExpatBabies Berlin - Facebook There are plenty of Facebook groups with information, but make sure you do not share any personal details on the internet Berlin Kita sells a list of Kitas in Microsoft Excel format in case you do not find anything with the previous options, or it is really urgent, this could be for you Once you know which Kitas interest you, you will need a Kitagutschein or Kita voucher, which is what we go through today in this episode. https://konto.service.berlin.de/skb/Service/Entry/9 Just get into the link and listen as many times as you require. I fill in the formulary with you ;) I would also like to share with you some tips before you listen to this episode: WIN-WIN: You will immediately get the document by following this podcast, so in just 20 minutes you will be done Take a step for your future self and GET IT DONE! Do this as early as you can, since it takes 6–8 weeks for you to get the actual Kitagutschein, and without it, no Kitas will accept you! Use Google Chrome to be able to translate it into English Review as many times as you need! When you are done, get the window to print out the preview of the formulary: SAVE IT! Once you have “sent” the formulary after reviewing it, you will get ANOTHER window with ANOTHER preview: FOR THE LOVE OF THE TV-TOWER! SAVE IT! By the time you get your Kitagutschein I will be sharing with you further tips, but for now keep in mind that: For small babies and toddlers that have never been to a Kita or have a nanny, many Kitas will make you part of the “Eingewohnungsmodell”. Which is in having a parent or a carer with the children the first days or weeks until the child has gotten used to being away from their parents. You will need to email and request a formal date to visit the Kita by sending them A cover letter Your Kitagutschein I would love to know if you found this helpful and if you like the storytelling at the end of each episode. If so, leave a 5-star review and/or email me at hello@reloberlin.com ;) or in any of my following social media If you want to keep in touch and get many more tips, follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reloberlin And if you want more, in Spanish, or you are curious about my tours in Berlin, join me at https://www.instagram.com/ungatoconpasaporte More at www.ungatoconpasaporte.com Stay curious! ;) Until 2 Wednesdays!

The German Educational System & Lina Morgenstern: From the Kita to making early-life decissions

5/10/2023
Welcome back another Wednesday to ReloBerlin! In today's episode, we will prepare to understand the German educational system! If you have children under 6 years old, you can enroll them into the following: When they grow, and they get to elementary school and secondary school (mandatory from age 6 to age 14) Elementary schools are between the ages of 6 and 10 and starts in September once the kid has already turned 6. After the 4 years of elementary school, with the help of their teachers, tutors, and of course, the parents, based on the marks of the child, they will be either sent in one of the following directions: There are also international schools (which are very demanding and include probation periods) and special schools, as well as schools with mixed language learning. Universities are also a good option since they are tuition-free! Some universities will require you to have, at least a B2 (or more realistically, a C1) German-level certificate, but there are quite some options in English, or mixed.

Winter in Germany: a survival guide

2/1/2023
Are you moving to Germany or planing to, and are you already dreading the winter? Here I share with you casually the mistakes I made so that you can avoid them in the future. It is difficult to change your life and take the leap to leave everything behind. But it is more challenging if you do not have a plan, so... let's build a plan together so that you do not suffer the consequences of not having thought of every detail! The only way to make sure you are prepared is by asking other people who have been here longer than you, and that is why I am doing this Some of the places I mention: https://www.netto-online.de/ https://www.decathlon.de/ https://www.kaufland.de/ Drugstores: dm rossmann IMPORTANT FOR YOU! Find a doctor: https://www.doctolib.de Get checked for your vitamin D levels and get a prescription! The basics: - Tageslicht - A good coat - A thick scarf, hat and gloves - Good socks and boots. I see you around here, in two weeks with the next podcast and if you can't wait, come over and say hi at: For upcoming events and plans around the city of Berlin visit me here and stay tuned! www.instagram.com/ungatoconpasaporte www.instagram.com/reloberlin Coffee breaks here: https://www.fathercarpenter.com https://cafenullpunkt.com https://de.espressohouse.com https://www.instagram.com/urnextcoffeespot/ See you!:D

ReloBerlin Trailer

1/25/2023
Are you planning to move to Germany and are you getting a headache with the bureaucratic system? Are you looking for a flat, but you are not being invited to viewings? Welcome to the podcast ReloBerlin, in which we will tackle all the questions that might arise when you arrive in Germany. Instead of taking hours to try to understand what would you do next regardless of booking an appointment, filling out paperwork, or finding a Kita, School, or a permanent flat, with my step-by-step method you will be able to divide what it seems like a big problem into different tasks you can easily tackle to deal with at your arrival as well as for your new life in Germany! After years of living here and helping friends, learning German by making mistakes, and learning from them, I want to save you time, effort, and anxiety to bring you the peace to know that you are not alone and if I COULD, SO CAN YOU! I became a relocation agent to develop the guide I wished I had, that way we will make this process into a no-brainer! Join ReloBerlin every second Wednesday and never be alone again on this adventure! Get comfy, make yourself something to drink, and let's jump right into it!
