Five Years Later: Sharing My Netherlands Story


Five years ago this month, I moved from the United States to the Netherlands on the Dutch American Friendship Treaty (DAFT) residence permit.

 

Recently, I had the opportunity to join Experts & Expats: The Move to Europe Podcast to share my story, from navigating my own move abroad to building a business that now helps other Americans relocate to the Netherlands.

 

In the episode, we discuss:

  • How my TikTok about the move went (unexpectedly) viral

  • The realities of relocating from the U.S. to the Netherlands

  • Navigating the DAFT residence permit process

  • Finding housing in a challenging Dutch market

  • Dutch culture, healthcare, and practical tips for settling in

Whether you're actively planning a move, considering the DAFT route, or simply curious about life in the Netherlands, I hope you'll find some valuable insights in the conversation.
