Vlogs from an English expat living in Germany

[alchemy69]

Hey everyone, waited for my 10th post to make this little hello. So here goes:

OK, standard template stuff first:

- Name or handle

Alchemy69 - Probably British (Alex)​

- Where you're from

As it says above, I'm from England but moved with my wife about a year and a half ago over to Germany. Living now in the area between Munich and Augsburg for those interested in potential meet ups etc.​

- Abit [sic] about you.

I'm actually an Engineer by day (German Bread hand-to-hand combat master by night) , been riding for nearly 3 years now and love just going out and exploring (read: getting lost). Otherwise, I enjoy a bit of kayaking, kite flying and lazing around by the lake.​

- What bike you ride

My current baby is a Yamaha Fazer FZS1000 (Gen 1 edition). Its a great bike, if a little windy at speed.​

- Why you started v-logging

I've been watching quite a few vloggers for a while and really enjoy the community spirit within this group. I dont know any other expats living in Germany who vlog (somebody prove me wrong, I want to meet these people) so figured that it would be a cool niche to show off what its like to me to be over here. Being so close to the Alps is incredible and I cant wait for the weather to improve sufficiently for me to be able to get down there and show them off.​

- What camera setup you use

Current setup is a Drift Ghost-S with the standard Drift mic. Fantastic camera but I'm not 100% happy with the mic yet. Not sure if its just my helmet/bike/mic setup but I'm getting more ambient wind noise than I'd like.
​

- A link to your YouTube channel!

I guess the most important bit - I'll edit this in.
​

Off template, I freaking love Marmite on Toast.

Welcome Sir!

Andy Man Cam has just moved to Hamburg I believe.

This really is a great community isn't it? I'm pretty new too. I haven't seen all of your videos yet, but those I have seen are great! I'm sure I'll be seeing you around these forums.

 

[alchemy69]

Welcome Sir!

Andy Man Cam has just moved to Hamburg I believe.

Thats probably the furthest possible distance you can travel while staying in Germany

 

[AndyManCam]

That's about right! Hamburg really is way up here! You don't realise how big Germany is until you go to it's extremes! That said, I'm in Sylt this weekend. 2.5 hours FURTHER north and STILL in Germany!

But that said...

Wilkommen Alchemy69! If you find yourself up here...

Welcome to the community!

You're a bit far from Switzerland for a ride out

 

[OlliePrice]

A bit far from UK too, maybe If i get luck and can go across Europe, but the more I research the more it sounds impossibru!

 

[SwissMotard]

Why would it be impossible? Many, many, many people have toured across Europe.
