In this episode of Plus Forty Nine, we speak with Andrea Fahmel, who grew up between Mexico and Germany – two cultures that shaped her identity, language, and sense of belonging.

Andrea shares what it’s like to live with a “liquid identity,” how German communities in Mexico kept traditions alive, and why directness something she once found intimidating has become one of her favorite parts of German culture.

Together, they talk about homesickness in the age of social media, the power of language in shaping integration, and the quiet lessons learned when you start understanding not just a country’s words, but its rhythm.
