Hey everyone, I'm new to Amsterdam. My wife and I moved here from Detroit a little over a week ago. We sold our jobs and quit our cars - Wait. Scratch that. Reverse it - and traded in our house for a fourth-story walkup.

In the midst of all that, we discovered we also have a baby on the way!

I've been documenting the fun here: http://blog.amsterdamtourist.com/

But the fact is, it's hard to meet people here.

We're looking for fellow expats who like food, art, music, bikes and life in general.

Drop me a line!

Hi Ryan, welcome to the forum and to sunny Amsterdam, I hope you find what you're looking for here. Congrats on the pregnancy man, becoming a dad was the greatest thing I ever did. If you want to know anything or need any help, send me a PM.

Cheers Bill

While I do appreciate your enthusiasm to promote your new site, JB, I think if you'll read my post again, you'll see I'm not looking for a Wingman. But thanks!
