Expat Life: What is an Anmeldung and why it’s important if you want to live in Germany?

berlin-mc3a4rz2015-1683

Are you planning to move to Germany? If the answer is YES, then make sure you have all the necessary documents to make your stay hassle free. Also I will talk about the Unmeldung and Abmendulg.

So what’s an Anmeldung?
An-mendulng (separable verb… I know.. why German why?) simply mean to register. If you are planning to live in Germany (tourists of course don’t need to apply for this) you need to register in the country. It is expected of expats to register in the first month they’ve arrived and within 15 days of signing a contract for an apartment.

Why is it important?
Well, to begin with, it’s illegal to stay in the country without registering (tourist excepted of course.) There is no way to get away from it and if you don’t register you will be fined [or deported] Also is it impossible (or extremely difficult) to get certain things with out and Anmeldung as well (Bank accounts, internet/gas/electricity contracts.)

Wanderlust Tag

Happy New Years everybody! Hope you all had a safe holiday season.
Given that if everything goes as planned you will see various travel related posts this year (and hopefully I’ll continue to do so in the future) I though I would kick off the year with the Wanderlust Tag.
I found a series of blogs that did this tag and I though I was a good idea to do my own, and get you familiarized with my “travel history”. Let’s do it…

How living abroad changed me

berry-break-16-29

Few weeks ago I went back to Argentina after almost two year of living in New Zealand, nothing can and nothing will prepare you for the things that happens when you live abroad and when you come back (for good or just visiting)

Monthly Favourites [September]

I can’t believe we are already at the end of  September. The year is flying by!

Doctor who

The doctor is back! New doctor, new face, new personality, Scottish and still not ginger. I must say I was not super happy at first, I think I’m still mourning 11th but this doctor is growing on me so we’ll need to wait to see what happens.

World Travel Bucket List

If you ask most kids which is their dream trip, or if they had to choose were in the world they want to go they would probably say Disney. But not me, I think I was 11 when I came up to Le Dad and said, “Dad, I can not diiiie without going to Cambodia, I neeeed to visit Angkor Wat temple, I will even learn how to speak Khmer” (talking about drama queens)

New Zealand bucket list

I’ve been having a huge case of wanderlust lately, maybe it’s because we have a big trip coming up (spoilers) maybe because I’ve been reading too many travel blogs, but most of the time I find myself writing names of places I want to go in the corners of my “ideas” notebook, napkins or wherever piece of paper I can find.

The Market Diaries [Matariki Festival]

Every year, the rising of the Matariki Constellation announces the beginning of Te tau hou, the Māori New Year. Which is usually celebrated  with 31 days of culinary events, performances and concerts. Te tau hou historically occurred at the end of harvest season, where most could fill the storage houses with food and come together to celebrate the end of a year and the beginning of the one to come.

Auckland was filled with Matariki Events during the months of June and July, including a Matariki festival weekend at the Silo Park to celebrate the end of the festivities.

One day in Auckland City (Winter edition)

A while back I wrote a little guide for a day out in the city (you can re read it here … or not…I’m not your mom) so today I though I would create another mini guide for this weekend which is the end of the Matariki Festival Month. Hope you enjoy it.

Morning: Caffeine-fix
Auckland is mostly know for its cafes and coffee culture, everywhere you turn, you’ll see someone drinking a cup of coffee or a coffee shop, so what best way to start off the day than with some breakfast/brunch. One of the places I love in the city is Shaky Isles (customs street) I’m pretty sure its because of the funny “to-go” cups but mostly its because of how the whole place is decorated. If you want to try something else instead of a classic espresso coffee, right know they are offering syphon, cold drip and filter coffee options, and if you are not a coffee person, that also have teas, smoothies and fruit juices. Top it with something to eat and you are ready to go.
