My name is Ginny Krauß, I am a 28 year old American Expat now living in Germany. I was born and raised in West Virginia, but lived in Florida for three years prior to my move to Germany. In Florida, I was an Account Manager for an Internet Marketing Company. My first year in Germany, I continued my work for them abroad but I have since left that position in order to focus more on learning German as well as my passion for writing.

Through him I got to know many other Germans whom were also interning and working there. This was my initial experience into German culture and they were all really wonderful people. After spending 9 months together, our relationship became long distance for approximately two years. We frequently visited each other, but back then flight prices were fairly cheap from Germany to the US due to the economic crisis.   more ...
