What would it take for me to disappear to Germany and forget about the States?
I know it would take money, but what about becoming nationalized, finding a job, etc.? I've never been, but I want to start a new life in a foreign country. I've been speaking German for nearly 7 years, and in 3 years I'll have my bachelors degree in German with teaching certification. From there, how do I make the move to Germany and get started fresh? And what if I have a cat? Thanks.

Do you want to teach German in Germany? Do you have a grandparent that came from Europe? If so you came become a citizen of the EU.

Travel there for a long period of time first. I'm talking like a month or more. Learn about the government, politics, LOCAL culture, economy, food, etc. etc. before you make the final decision. The language is the biggest barrier, and you've already mastered that. You'll love it, I guarantee it. To become a citizen, first you have to live there for eight years, seven if you take a course in integration. Also, you have to have little to no criminal record, be fluent in German, and have a job set up so you can support yourself. May I recommend Munich, the capital of Bavaria? Bavaria is what you would "think of" when you think of Germany. Mountains, cows and goats grazing on huge pastures, yodelers, accordions, beer, bratwurst, VERY friendly people, and beautiful countryside. Yet Munich is a huge, medieval city with many opportunities for a huge income, just like life in a huge American city.

As a US citizen, you can come to Germany and stay there for 90 days without really having to do anything. If you want to stay longer than that, you will have to get a residence permit which you can apply for IN Germany once you're there. However, you need a job offer in order to get this permit.
