Brook Lives: Germany Without the Fantasy
A bilingual Amharic-English memoir and decision guide about building a life in Germany, changing careers, and reckoning with what migration and success actually cost.
Field notes
The project is organized as a personal account rather than a generic relocation guide, with the author’s route running from Ethiopia to Germany, a master’s degree, mechanical engineering, and a later move into cybersecurity. Its decision-review component asks readers to examine destination, supporting evidence, and what follows if their assumptions fail. The homepage is bilingual in Amharic and English and extends into YouTube and TikTok, giving the written memoir a broader media path.
