What topics are we looking for?

Travel stories in Germany

We are looking for travel stories and storytellers. Your story should not simply contain information about the travel destination. We want to hear as well how your travel has transformed your way of thinking, what is your personal connection to your travel destination, or what you have learned via traveling. Articles with insider tips of a specific travel destination are also accepted.

German food

Any topics relating to German food are accepted. For example, recipes, baking, healthy living, nutrition, diet, dining, etc. Please make sure that your article is related to German food or lifestyle. You should also tell us why you love (or hate) the food, and the tradition or history of the food if applicable.

Your unique experience about moving to Germany

Why do you move to Germany? Do you have an exciting story to tell? How did you overcome the challenges when you moved to Germany? Can your story inspire other people to move to Germany as well? We are looking for interesting and motivating stories!

Any other topics relating to studying, working, and living in Germany

This includes any how-to guide, tips & tricks, or any other interesting stories that happened in Germany. Your article should be useful for people to learn and understand about life in Germany.

Guidelines:

If you are interested in writing a guest article, please first provide an outline of your article. Your outline should include:

  • The title of your guest article
  • A summary of your guest article (about 200 words)
  • A paragraph outline
  • A short bio of yourself and a link to your website/ blog/ social media if applicable

Please do not send me a full article before providing your outline! Your final article should be preferably 1,500+ words.

We have a very high-quality standard for guest posts. If you really want to have your post published here, you will have to put your effort in. And show us your high standard.

No ads, please

Please do not send us your sales pitch included in an article. We do not want spam. If your guest post is accepted, we will link back to your website or bio. But we do not want any ads in the guest article. What we want are authentic personal stories.
