Hi, I'm Alicia. I moved to Munich more than 16 years ago. Like many internationals, I arrived full of curiosity, excitement, and a long list of questions. Some things were easy to figure out. Others took years to understand. Over time, I became fascinated not only by the city itself, but by the process of adapting to a new place:
how people find information, build relationships, learn cultural codes, and create a sense of home far from where they started.As a web designer, I saw an opportunity to bring together practical resources, community initiatives, and personal experience into one platform.
That's how MUCVIBES was born. Over the years, the project has connected thousands of people through guides, events, meetups, and shared experiences. It has also opened unexpected doors and opportunities, including being selected as a resident at Wayra, where MUCVIBES was recognised as an example of how digital platforms can support communities and create meaningful connections.
Today, the project continues to evolve alongside the changing needs of Munich's international community.
