New members of the Netherlands forum, introduce yourself here

Hello,

My name is Andra and I've been living in the Netherlands for a few months now. I've moved here from Romania with my boyfriend because he received a job offer (which of course, he accepted). I'm currently looking for an English job, I have a bachelor degree in journalism and experience as an online writer(in English too).

For now, I'm working from home, but it doesn't pay good at all and I really need to find something fast! I would also like to catch a job in social media, but I find it difficult to find something.

We're living in Utrecht and we're very sociable persons and we're trying to make new friends here. We had lots of friends in Romania and here everything is different, but we're trying to stay positive. ) We love playing board games, taking photos and discovering new places.

I guess you don't have much time to visit the places where the cruise ship moors.
But it must be amazing to see lots of places (and sea  )

Hi Everybody,

I moved to Haarlem in the Netherlands 3 weeks ago after living with my Dutch Husband in Germany for the last 20 years.  We are both Musical Theater Singers and we worked in Theater and on Cruise Ships.  We moved to Holland because my Husband missed his own country, but also because we are searching for new career paths and a new way of life.  We are completely in love with Haarlem and are currently in search of jobs.  I am looking to do Gigs as a Singer,  but I also have lots of Restaurant experience as a waiter.  I currently study Dutch at an advanced level and am very much enjoying it! What career do I want to have "after" Showbiz?  I'm not really sure, but I hope to find ideas here. My husband is training to be a Chair Masseur and is loving that.  Looking forward to new friends and new input.

Welcome on board Riemer46 and welcome in the Netherlands.

Hi! My name is Valerie, from Canada, and I am planning to move to Rotterdam in a few months. I'm currently looking for work with SAP.

Also, can anyone tell me if my Canadian driver's license is transferable? What about my motorcycle license? Do I need to start over for car and motorcycle?

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am not sure about Canada, but my American driver's license was not accepted

Welcome to Rotterdam I guess your driving license will work in Holland if it is international driving license. Or else you can also get the Holland Driving license if you already have one from Canada.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Katherine. I am from California, USA. I moved to the Netherlands a number of years ago with my Dutch husband. Before this we were living 6 years in China. I currently work for a large Dutch company as a Learning and Development/Intercultural Specialist. But since having my daughters (3yrs and 1.5yr) creating a healthy and natural lifestyle has become a passion of mine. I blog about it at my site: naturallyglobal.com where I give tips for finding local, organic food sources and I also examine the challenges of creating a healthy lifestyle as a parent living abroad.

I am looking forward to discovering other interesting blogs here and also connecting to other Expat.comgers.

Cheers, Katherine
