Understanding Train Station | EP9: Growing up between the US and Germany feat. Jay Samuelz @UnderstandingTrainStation | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
What's it like to grow up in both Germany and the USA? That's what we talked about with this week's guest Jay Samuelz, a successful Youtuber, filmmaker, and musician based in Berlin. Since he is half American and half German and moved back and forth between the two countries several times growing up, we were curious to find out what it's like to switch between the school systems, what role the two languages play in his everyday life, what his experiences with racism have been, and much more. We hope you guys enjoy the conversation as much as we did! :)
