Hey everyone!

I have recently moved from the UK to go and live with my girlfriend in Holland. I only speak English and very little Dutch (I'm working on it!).

In England I was a self employed personal trainer, and often had jobs in gyms. Unfortunately here in Holland all gyms require you speak Dutch.

So my question is: what kind of jobs should I search for? Most English jobs are for professionals (you either need a certain education or experience). I've already looked at cleaning companies, but are there other options where you don't need to speak Dutch or a specific education? Preferably in Utrecht, Noord-Brabant or Zuid-Holland!

Kind regards.
