My name is Tessa Enright and I’m an American living in Germany. I grew up in California and moved to Arizona with my family when I was a teenager. I love the scenic grandeur of the southwest, but my new home Görlitz has won a special place in my heart. The question everyone always asks me is, “How did you end up here?”
It all started when I met a German exchange student while studying Business Marketing in Flagstaff, Arizona. To make a long story short, we moved to Dresden and got married. After a difficult two years, we returned to Arizona where I vowed to work on improving my German and went back to school to earn my Bachelor and Master in German Studies. From there I began doing language teaching and translation work.
When the opportunity arose to relocate to my husband’s hometown of Görlitz at the end of 2016, we jumped at the chance and we put down roots. Recently we finished renovating a historic house in the beautiful Nikolaivorstadt neighborhood.
I quickly fell in love with my new city and wanted to learn as much as I could about it. I have a passion for writing and photography, and so I began to research, explore and share my new home with others online.
I love Görlitz and the surrounding area and enjoy sharing that with others – I see a huge potential for attracting more visitors to our city by making it more accessible to English-speaking guests and I hope to play a role in making that happen! Since December 2016 I’ve been exploring and falling in love with my new home, Görlitz. I’m convinced you will love it, too!
