Welcome to Germany Marie-Andree! I am based in Berlin, but hopefully some other expats will reach out on here.

Wanted to let you know about the EasyExpat guide to Munich. It should be of use to setting up your household and finding out more about being an expat in Munich.

There are also two expat interviews from expats in Germany which might interest you:
Back to Berlin...and Beyond!
No Ordinary Homestead

Also - check out the English language group in Germany- Toytown http://www.toytowngermany.com/

best of luck, and Prost!

Hi Marie-Andrée,

I am Aurélien from France. Please feel free to contact me, I am French and just moved to Munich few weeks ago.

Interesting city, green and many things to do.

By the way where in Canada are you from?

 

Hello Marie-Andrée and Aurélien and all other Munich fans!
My name is David (38 yrs) and I am planning to make also a 3 year move to Munich.
I am visiting Munich next week (Mon-Wed) to walk/bike in areas where I can rent an appartment (do you have any advice which districts to focus on).
And I also like to feel / see / enjoy the city more, so if I can join with you and your friends, somewhere / some time? That would be great !
Thanks for your tips so far and have a nice day!
Kind regards from Holland, ciao David.
