This chapter of my life is in Europe with a base in Berlin.
You can expect weekly diaries filled with the sights and sounds of Berlin as well as Europe travel vlogs. Plus, I've got handy "How-to" guides to help fellow expats navigate the ins and outs of life in Germany.

Love your apartment! I found your videos quite recently and they have been super helpful since I'm planning on moving to Berlin soon too! This might be a too personal question so please don't feel forced to answer it, but I was just wondering because I read everywhere that landlords in Germany typically ask for your income to be 3x higher than monthly rent if that was the case with you as well? In other words, did you find landlords required you to have a 3x higher income or did they not care as long as you can pay your monthly rent? I ask because I feel like with my relatively frugal way of life I could manage with giving out 50% of my income for rent for a nicer apartment but I don't know if that would be OK for landlords or if I would simply get overlooked and should stick to the 30% "rule"?

Hey girl! Im actually the same. I prefer to have a nice place to live in even if that means cutting back on some fun things. I don’t meet the 30% rule and although I did hear about the rule in general (not in Germany but just life advise wise), nobody asked me that in Germany yet. What is REALLY important is that you have a stable/permanent job. They will almost always ask for a permanent job contract or a letter from your employer and sometimes even questions around my job why Im working there, why I’m moving to Berlin for that job, etc. I think the landlords wanna make sure you won’t like quit your job or something and not have money to pay for rent 😅 I heard kicking people out of apartment in Germany is very hard so maybe that’s why.

@@byamyseo thank you so much for the infos, you helped me a lot :) I look forward to more videos from you, no one really does Berlin living content regularly (especially not in english) so finding yours made me really happy

I wonder what drives up the price so high, with this rent you could get so much more in Berlin.

Gentrification

[@byamyseo]

I think it’s because more people are moving to Berlin compared to the vacant apartments available. 😔 I had to line up with 30 other people at one of the viewings so I feel like there are just sooo many people moving here.

Is it located in the city?

[@byamyseo]

Yes, it's in berlin "mitte". :)
