👋 Hey, I’m Jenna!

The voice behind Life in Düsseldorf

I’m a German Canadian who moved to Düsseldorf over a decade ago, and like many of you, I had a million questions when I arrived. From trying to figure out how health insurance works in Germany to wondering where the best bakery is (spoiler: it’s Bülle 🍞), I’ve been through it all.

So I created Life in Düsseldorf to help make your transition smoother — whether you’re moving to Germany, already living here, or just curious about life abroad. My mission? To make you feel a little less overwhelmed and a lot more at home.

Jenna - I just wanted to say I downloaded your Life in Germany Checklist and read it over for about 20 minutes. I had heard about preparing for each of those things on your list before, but never in such perfect, simple, laid-out detail. I really appreciate that from you!
NICHOLAS HOHWART
Your website and YouTube videos have been very helpful for us when it came to preparing our mindset to adjust to Germany. Getting in the right mindset was very important for us, and following you has allowed us to get a sense of what might come. Thank you!
JOSE MUCK
LOVE IT!! You make adjusting much easier! You are kind and you share a great perspective!

Love your content! I used to be an expat in DUS. I'm now back in Australia but still following because it gives me an ongoing connection to DUS and Germany which I miss so much. My Aussie mom follows you too! Thank you!! Xx

You are simply authentic. That for me is the most important thing on social media nowadays! You are doing perfectly at just being yourself!

BEST CHANNEL FOR DÜSSELDORF! I am even German, but I still follow you and still learn a lot about Düsseldorf! Thank you!
MAXIMILIAN F.
Your channel has been my salvation. I always felt like no one spoke English here and I never used to find any useful information in English, until I found you. It has always felt like you are a woman with the same story and the same problems that I have. Thank you for that! ♥️
LINDA H.
WE LOVE YOU! We used to live in Düsseldorf, and are SO happy that we get to live vicariously through your continuous adventures! Thank you!
