Hola!!

Also newby here... Are you working or studying in Ams?

doei

Hi! and hello! Im Rowena from Philippines..im newly member here ,i want to meet new friends here in this blog..planning to move in Netherlands soon.. nice meeting you all...

Hi Everyone - I just moved to the Netherlands from Toronto, Canada.  I've been here less than 2 weeks and still very much adjusting.

I start a heavy duty language course next week - so hoping to further develop my dutch to get around and engage with the locals

I've had the opportunity to see some amazing countries throughout the world and I have pretty much travelled Canada coast to coast.  I'm an adventure seeker - been skydiving, caving, did World's Highest Bungee jump, climbed a few mountains, and really enjoy cycling in the Netherlands.  People describe me as outgoing, fun and very social. 

My last job was working for a major hotel company training employees and leaders throughout Canada - I'm still going through the IND process of obtaining my VISA.  I met my Dutch partner last year in Toronto during the FIFA World Cup - it's a romantic story - ask me about it!

Once my VISA  comes through, I'll be looking for a job in HR/Training/Communications - as for now though, I would like to connect with other expats, especially Canadian expats - feel free to send me an invite! 

One last thing - I currently live in Zwolle, and I strongly get the sense that the expat community here is small to non existent.  If you're in Zwolle, or in a neighbouring area - send me a message, would love to connect. Cheers!

Hi I am currently living in den haag. I would like to meet new friends here. 

Hi, I am interested to meet you for a drink

Beate, I'm also starting to settle.  Are you looking for job? Maybe we can start till help each other,  ok,  depending the careers

Hi there,

Yes I would love to relocate to the Netherlands. I shall be visiting there for my wedding this summer but I apparently I will only have a short stay visa since I haven't learnt the language yet.

When I travel back to Nairobi I would love to join a school where I can learn the language.. Which are the recognised schools in nairobi where I can learn the  dutch language and pass my integration test?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
