If The Netherlands are so nice. Use it as an exempel for you own future way of living there where you are. Creatie your own beutiful real democratie

100k in the US, wow amazing not. Get an ambulance ride or an even worse an hospital operation and you are bankrupt. Deliver a child in hospital and you have good insurance, well it still costs you 10k dollars 😂 how can you afford to have kids in the USA

You have to commute ? Why ? There are plenty of jobs in the rest of the Netherlands. Don’t try to find a house in Amsterdam area. It’s hopelessly expansive.

"How are you doing" "I saw Jesus" 😆

I was always told the toilet brush thing was so people didn't steal the brushes (who would do that?). But also, what about the plunger? Wouldn't someone steal that too? The whole thing makes no sense.

I definitely learned I need to save up more money before the move, you gave a great timeline of when to start looking for housing. In the mean time, continue learning Dutch and Netherlands history.

Hi T&T&T, how are you doing? Still living in NL? Hope you're well wherever you are, let us know if you can ❤

Great video! . Boy, your comments about how some people wish "you would go back to your country" reminds me how there're plenty of U.S. citizens here in lots of states I've been in, who even act that way towards other citizens who move out of one state and into another! I've seen it, I've lived all around the U.S. (been in 46 states). That unwelcomeness is alive and well, even here in the States. . We've thought about moving to the Netherlands, we're both dual U.S.-EU citizens and can easily step off a plane in any EU nation, dot a few "i"s and cross and few "t"s on a few forms, and we could settle in for the long term. We have lots of relatives in nearby Germany. My wife even speaks some Dutch. . Gee, I just can't see living somewhere without some mountains. ... although, I do see the Ardennes are not to far away. . I much rather wanted to go to Canada, but they're really tightening up the entire immigration scene now and it's crazy difficult.

“Climate Change!” 😂😂😂😂

You two should get a couple of bicycles, and chill out exploring the Netherlands and beyond. There is more to life than big houses, big salaries and big cars.

Are you really liking Europe ?

Didnt watch the video, but: we agree.

Yes, Woerden is a beautiful town. If I decided to move back to The Netherlands I would look for a town, not specifically Woerden, but a town like Woerden, there are many. My no.1 choice would be Maassluis ZH, it is where I grew up. I want to focus on your chapter "challenge of integrating". There are many good YT videos out there about living in The Netherlands but very few delve into this subject seriously enough. I was born in the US, moved to Holland at age 6 and returned to The US at age 22. I feel like I am Dutch and American at the same time. Age 6 to 22 is a very impressionable age in our lives. A few of the friends that I made at age 6 in the first year of elementary school remained my best friends until age 22 when I left and I still make contact with them now, 45 years later. Dutch people really shape their lives by being part of small tight knitted circles of friendship and a typical Dutch person may belong to a few of these circles. Americans are really outgoing, open minded to changes and make friends just by approaching and reaching out. Dutch people may seem the same and in ways are but they consider those kind of friendships as superficial, more like acquaintances, and treat them as such. They rate levels of friendship. It's kind of like the American question, who can you call when in need at 3:00AM. The guy at work may seem like a good friend but you're not going to call him. The Dutch really depend on those close friend circles to protect themselves, for strength, to preserve their culture and daily life routines and they don't just let anyone new in. My advise is to make strong efforts and join group activities clubs that have a tendency for friendship making. For lack of a better thought, join a bowling league (ha, there are a few), a ballroom dancing school or club. Something where you repeatedly go to each week, these are the places where friendships form and they do so in small circles. For Americans I suggest to take it slowly, naturally, don't push the issue too fast. If you chat-up make a little deeper conversations in, let's say, that dance club, don't say: Hey we should go together to that concert that's coming up after 3 weeks, that is too soon. If you are a young man and you're thinking to go to The Netherlands and "score" with those beautiful Dutch blond girls. You've heard they are very modern, liberal and open minded, they are sexually liberated in a sexually liberated country. Many Dutch people are that but I don't think you are going to be all that successful. Many of the Dutch girlfriends that I had when I was young, I am thinking all of them, the relationship and openess to take it a level further (not THAT many I was popular, not Casanova!) came from getting to know the girl from those close circle groups and it took a bit of time. Dutch girls are not prude but it is not like the stereo typical manner in which foreigners report The Netherlands. Politics was mentioned in this video, left verses right. The Netherlands has the same peculiarity as many of the western social European countries. People think that they are very progressive thinking and it makes them vote progressive. Others are very progressive in larger concept, many people type thoughts, organizational. But when it comes to their daily lives and small circles of family friends and surroundings, this is Europe ""the old school world"". I do things this way because my grandmother taught me. Why do things differently all the sudden? Why change what is working just fine? And so on. They may vote progressively and believe in the freedom of marriage for gays but they live their lives in traditional manners, conservative even. So far that what they vote and politically believe in may not reflect how they live their lives on a daily basis.

Dude you got the wrong Netherlands. Come to visit Bonaire whitc is also part of the Netherlands. Way better climate aaaand closer to your relatives.

Dude obviously life goes on regardless of which part of the world you are in. If you are on vacation, you are on vacation. How silly of you to say life goes on here and it’s not vacation. If you are settling in another country you allow your life to go on in that country. Going to the doctor, picking up your dog poop. SERIOUSLY…????????????????????

My opinion?stay in america pls...too much arrogance

Do expats build up AOW? In case they want to stay here till their expire date(death).

Gewoon terug gaan naar waar je vandaan komt. Nederland is vol ! Gewoon VOL !

Let me be very dutch and upfront: If you think "oh 90% of dutch speak english, I dont have to speak and learn dutch", then I would much rather prefer for these people to stay in whatever country they are. I'm not going to the US for example, demand them to speak dutch to me so I dint have to learn to speak english. Nobody gets those privileges.

Thank god it is not like US, that’s why I would want to move

The turquoise necklace and your red hair look georgous together ❤️

PATRIOTS YES, LIBERALS, 7th CENTURY HOSTILES AND BC PEOPLE OUT❤❤❤❤❤

Use arnica gel in those bruises - will help them go away faster and will feel good, too❤

You are the first Americans I see, not generalizing Dutch culture and people. The Dutch do this, The Dutch do not like that... Sometimes it feels like we are being pressed in to this idea about how to behave. We are not all direct, we do not Go Dutch in a restaurant (first date perhaps) actually we fight over who is treating who to a nice diner... But I really like that you put emphasis on the fact that not all Dutch people can express themselves in English. One of the reasons we are considered rude....is when people dot not know the 'softer' words. They know love, they know hate, but not enough words in between (just an example of course) so it sounds harsh. Getting mandatory classes do not mean that we like it or get good grades. My English is sufficient, but I use subtiteling for tv and youtube. It is quite rude to expect us to speak perfect English when we are trying to help. And indeed: many different levels of progression or religion believes. So thank you for showing the courtesy of pointing that out. And by all means: hope you will like it here and stay... If people are telling you that you should leave...just say: doe normaal! We are in dire need foor people who are willing to work hard and pay taxes....since you are doing both....😊

Thanks for keeping me posted. I'm really glad for Travis and Tracy. They really, really wanted to start a family. Eric and Tammy only just moved from Rotterdam to hilversum, and now to Portugal??, I agree, a short message would have been nice. Greetings from the Netherlands (They will miss the oliebollen season)

I think if one moves to a new country one will inevitably experience all the issues you are talking about in this video. I came to Canada from the Netherlands 71 years ago but still there are days when I do not feel like a Canadian. Just having a strange name is enough to set people off. I think that the best thing to help anyone integrate into a new society is to completely drop the old one. Whole hog or nothing!

Kopen kopen kopen 😵‍💫😵‍💫📈🫡🫡🇺🇸💵😵‍💫😵‍💫📈

Echte vrienden komen zeker op bezoek teminste als je een Nederlander ben de reis is te betalen.en ja wij hebben meer vakantie dagen tijd is een dilema als usa burger 🎉

Groningen

You missed the Bouvigne castle with its gardens, in the Mastbos! The old town hall in the main square and the statuebof the fisherman in the back, opposite the infopoint Breda. Also de "Blind wall" trail is nice to do with many murals...Ginneken Markt and the roads to it.... For a next visit i also recommend Baarle-Nassau/Hertog, a very particular town with belgian enclaves!

Stay in the US

Well...if you wanna make friends in the Netherlands it is wise to join a sports club or a join a hobbyclub...that is the fastest way to learn the culture...and try to speak Dutch to show you are interested in their culture...remember they took the time to learn your language...I can't be a one way way street... Keep up the good work and I am sure you will make lots of friends...

The Netherlands is more than the "Randstad".

I think there is a big rock in town, but only from research. Its probably near the Rock Brewery or at least where the brewery got its namesake. I might be there next week. Maybe I will find the rock!

As a Dutchie I don't even know what to make of this. Don't come here unless you know what you're doing?

skip the 'music'

As a Frisian I feel like a foreigner living in the Netherlands...

This is such a fantastic video. It's real and honest, unlike most others

I just realized I haven't seen videos from you in an awfully long time. And now I see you actually haven't posted anything in more than a year. I hope you guys are doing ok and there's no reason to worry. Greetings from a fellow Leidenaar!

You only comment on just about everything about the Netherlands. The Dutch food culture is not that good? we have many more unique snacks compared to America. Since the discovery of the country, America has copied everything from the rest of the world. So America has no food culture at all. it's all fast food copied from other countries. and the worst part is that something healthy from the rest of the world, you ruin it by adding way too much fat.

12:52 Het komt van de analoge klok, maar het is omgekeerd niet minder raar.😂

4:51 Croisants are delicious and we definitely eat them, but have you seen its butter content? If you eat one every once in a while the ¼ to ⅓ butter content and €1 orso you pay are not a problem, but it is not something you would like to use to fill your stomach on a daily basis. You will gain weight realy fast and for three croisants you can get a whole loaf of bread, of which one person can eat for a weak.
