Karin is the adventurous type, but when her husband asks her to come with him to his home country, the USA, she cringes at the thought. Leaving a well organized, comfortable, secure life in Munich, Germany, to start over from scratch in Fort Wayne, Indiana, at age 49, doesn't seam like a wise move. Just for the sake of sanity Karin begins to write her adventures down in a blog, and also in this book. You are invited to follow along as the big move takes Karin to her new life on a new continent. Volume 1 contains all the original adventures up until the end of 2008. For adventures starting in 2009 check out volume 2.
