Just landed? 🛩️

Heya! 👋🏽👋🏼

We’re Patrick & Duygu — a Filipino-Canadian and Turkish-American couple who traded life in Michigan & Ontario for Stuttgart, Germany in early 2024.

We didn’t move because we were chasing some romantic “European dream.”

We moved because an unexpected work opportunity landed in our lap — and we decided to take the leap.

In the process, we’ve had our fair share of wins and struggles: navigating German bureaucracy, learning to cook on an induction stove, re-building our modern North American home in Germany, and adapting to cultural quirks we didn’t even know existed.

In our TwoFoodiesOnAPlane blog is where we share the real side of living abroad.
