Goodbye Germany! The Emigrants - Gregor Twins, Luckan Family, and Hee Family: Dreams Under Pressure in Florida
Nina and Diana Gregor: Nina and Diana Gregor have lived in Panama City Beach on Florida's west coast for 20 years. The twins from Munich brought their entrepreneurial spirit with them to the USA: with several tanning salons and a number of properties, they are already very successful. Their only problem: the work ethic of their American employees leaves much to be desired. Right now, when they want to quickly finish and furnish a new vacation home so they can rent it out as soon as possible, their helpers are letting them down.
And then, a host family's stay is also threatened with being literally washed away: a burst pipe in one of their vacation apartments – on a Sunday! Kai Luckan: The small Luckan family from Berlin wants to rent out RVs in Tampa and offer personalized tour recommendations through nature parks – but this is completely new territory for Lisa and Kai. Neither of them has any experience in the tourism industry, but they're embarking on this adventure for their dream of a life in Florida, which they want to share with their young daughter, Lena.
But right from the start, they encounter difficulties: Kai is diagnosed with a dangerous eye disease, his law firm in Berlin isn't selling, and even their first test trip in their own RV turns into a huge ordeal. As if that weren't enough, the Sunshine State is then hit by a hurricane… The Hee family: Patrick Hee (44) has always dreamed of a life in Miami, but his wife, Silvia (40), only dared to venture as far as Mallorca.
They've lived there for five years with their two sons and have built a successful interior design company in the luxury segment. But the island feels too confining for Patrick. He finally wants to realize his dream. He and his wife want to start a handbag label in Miami. But when they arrive in Miami with all their belongings, everything goes differently than planned. The renovation of their house isn't finished, and they have to move onto the terrace. When the house is finally finished, they run out of money.
