Coffee Connections and 100 years DAAD logo
© DAAD
Germany is a great country in which to study, research, live, and of course, travel. But don’t take our word for it! Hear from students and researchers themselves.

I meet many students and researchers during my travels representing the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). They come from diverse backgrounds, and their careers and fields of interest span a wide range of subjects. One thing they all share, though, is a love of Germany.

Our most memorable conversations happen during coffee breaks, when I hear personal stories and learn about their unique experiences.

I decided to share these conversations in a podcast, so that the work and experiences of our DAAD Ambassadors and other inspiring individuals with a German connection reach you, wherever you are.
