This week, I’ve been stressed by everyone from bank officials to whomever is in charge of my internet, and so I’m rewarding myself with lots of food. My first solution was to move to Europe — then I remembered we can’t all be today’s Abroad Life subject. Not yet, anyway.

I saw him tweet about his first year in Germany earlier this year. After finding some cool things on his page, I reached out to him on Wednesday and held his trousers until he agreed to do an interview. I wasn’t prepared for how fine he was. Focus, please. You had the interview the same day? We had to; possible subjects had been ghosting me all week. As soon as he replied to my message, I hit him back with “When are you free tonight for our interview?” I’m sure he was shocked LMAO. Then, something funny happened with the internet. Oh gosh. What now? At the start of the interview, there was a period where we struggled to hear each other. With Abroad Life interviews, I usually blame my network for any internet issues because I’m in Nigeria, but it turns out the internet lag was from his end. We didn’t realise this until he later talked about hating the poor internet quality in Germany.
