Americans’ First Impressions of the Netherlands (Part 2)

We’re back with part 2 of our first impressions after moving to the Netherlands — and there were still plenty of things left to talk about. In this video, Eric joins me again as we share more of what we’ve experienced in our first couple of weeks living here. From navigating our immigration appointments to getting on bikes for the first time (which felt like a big moment), to something we didn’t fully expect — how much calmer everyday life feels here compared to the U.S. Some of these are bigger experiences, and some are just small observations, but together they’re starting to shape what life here actually feels like. We’re still very early in this experience, but it’s been interesting to notice what stands out when you drop into a completely new place. If you watched part 1, this is everything we didn’t get to the first time. And if you’re thinking about moving abroad — or just curious what it actually feels like — we’re figuring it out in real time. #Netherlands #MovingAbroad #AmericanInEurope #LifeInTheNetherlands #ExpatLife
