Meet Thomas,

An englishman who moved to Hamburg twice! 

He first encountered Germany 🇩🇪 watching german  cable TV as a teenager, and from there went off to work in Hamburg a first time.

After a few years back in the 🇬🇧 UK, he started to miss the German rules that initially bugged him and went back to Hamburg, this time relocating with 🎮 InnoGames, Germany’s leading developer and publisher of mobile and online games.

He tells us:

• How he approached his move differently the 2nd time, 
• How learning German helped tremendously to integrate,
• How InnoGames helped him settle in 
• How he now feels home and wants to get involved in local community by having a vote that counts therefore he went on and got his german citizenship, as well as the Irish one (more as a backup for Brexit). 

His recommendations for Hamburg:

🍸 Bar: Sofa bar for a few G&Ts http://zoebar.de/

🍞Restaurant: Lokmam Turkish restaurant with the best flatbread https://lokmam.de/

🚴‍♂️Carte blanche: take a city bike and ride around the city and along the lake.
