Why He LEFT The Netherlands For A Life In Spain (Dutch Living Abroad)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- For many, living in the Netherlands would be a dream, but for some Dutch people, moving out of the country is a goal. I met one of these people, Tristan, during a trip I made to Spain last summer. So I decided to come back in order to learn more about his story living in Spain, culture differences he's encountered, and his life as an entrepreneur.

Huge thanks to Tristan! As a foreigner living in the Netherlands, I found it very interesting to see how a Dutch person adapts living abroad. Have you lived abroad or had desires to?
1:59 the caption should say "you're from the Netherlands, a country known for..."
just a correction but cinco anos=5 years not 6 :P
@rakgi haha, ah I don't know why I made that mistake😂 I promise I know that haha. Thank you!
I never had the desire to move to Spain, but going there for vacation absolutely yes. I like NL too much to move but the vacations i had in Spain were awesome. A nice house with everything open for a nice breeze, a pool, a nice bbq pit and a beautiful sea view. That is what i call a great vacation. Nice video Sam. ❤❤❤
Hey Michel! Yeah you can't go wrong with a vacation in Spain. Maar leuk om te horen dat je hier in Nederland naar je zin hebt! Thanks for watching :)
No, no todos los españoles ya damos la siesta y todos esos estereotipos no son ciertos la mayoría de las veces. La mayoría de la gente trabaja jornada o tibia o partida, la gente no vive del aire como nos quieren hacer creer en este vídeo. Es cierto que hacemos más planes espontáneos como quedar a tomar algo cualquier tarde de la semana, pero por favor no penseis que estamos siempre de vacaciones y de fiesta. Sois los turistas los que SI estáis de vacaciones cuando venís a España
Gracias por compartir esto! Tengo buenos amigos que viven en Espana y ya se que no es completamente como los estereotips, pero aun, en comparación con los Países Bajos, creo que todavía hay una gran diferencia cultural. Especialmente estar más relajado, y eso no es malo! jaja
Els estereotips dels estrangers cap altres paisos a vegades tienen connotacions xenófobes inclus sense donarse compte l'extranger ; UA-cam está ple de exemples i estereotips rancis de Espanya i els Espanyols; salutacions.
@@exploringtheforeign Te recomiendo que vayas a Madrid o a Barcelona un Lunes a las 7 de la mañana a una de las autopistas que conectan los suburbios con el centro de la ciudad y después me dices si la vida es más relajada que en Holanda. Tal vez TU vida sea más relajada pero eso mo quiere decir que sea la norma general
Mooie video Sam. En je Nederlands wordt steeds beter.
Dankjewel Ronald!
Hi Sam ! This was such an interesting video. Nice guy too 💕 when my parents retired they moved to Malaga Spain for a couple of years.
Then they missed their family and followed me to California. Many Dutch people retire to Spain. It is cheaper than Holland and the weather is better. So is the food ! Great interview ! 🙏💕🌷
Hey Yvonne! Thank you for that! And yeah, Tristan was awesome. Nice that your family ended up going your direction, I could imagine that that was really good for you. And yeah, I understand why people would retire there!
Worked there for a couple of years. Loved it!
Awesome! Did you consider staying permanently?
@@exploringtheforeign No. When our daughter was born I wanted to move back before pre-school, since I have more faith in the Dutch school system. Also, life in The Netherlands is good. I wanted her to see it as her home country.
I love this! So cool. Food for thought, for sure! 🍷🥂
Your videos are always charged with positive energy. Lovely to see!
Thank you!!
Hi Sam, great video!
Valencia is een heerlijke stad om te onthaasten. Complimenten aan Tristan. Een avontuurlijke ondernemer die het wel gaat redden. 👍
Mijn vrouw en ik zijn ook aan het aftellen. Over precies 100 dagen emigreren wij naar Curaçao voor een nieuwe uitdagende episode in ons leven.
Ik kijk uit naar jouw nieuwe video!
Dankjewel René! Misschien straks een video in Curaçao👀
Goed idee, You're welcome! 🇨🇼🌞
Hey! Im a student in Eindhoven from Valencia! I have many friends from all parts of Spain and I am loving it, its just my first year so still adapting.
If you have any video ideas that you would like to do with someone with my background I would be super interested
Love your videos!!
Oooh genial! Me parece muy interesante, si me mandas un mensaje por Instagram, quizás podemos pensar en una idea!
Good one Sam. I really enjoyed hearing three of my favorite languages, in one video.
Thank you! I found that a really fun part of the video haha
Heb een jaar gewerkt in Almería en in halfjaar in Roquetas de Mar. Snap heel goed wat Nederlanders trekt naar een land zoals Spanje.
Het is anders, het is Nederland 'light' om het zo maar te zeggen. Misschien ga ik er uiteindelijk ook wel permanent wonen
Wat vet! Dat zou leuk zijn :)
Hallo zomaar een vraagje, heb je toevallig in de kassen gewerkt toen je in Almeria was?
@@MaximusFrisia Nee, in de horeca
@@OsmosisHD ah okay, bedankt voor je antwoord!
Not a video I expected, but for sure one I thoroughly enjoyed! Keep at it, Sam !
Awesome to hear! Thank you😃
Great video Sam! 🙌🏽
Thank you 🙌
Fascinating backstory! I've been in Madrid for years but Valencia has been looking more appealing as of late 🏖Great interview!
How do you like Madrid? It would be too hot for me in the summer haha
@@exploringtheforeign I hate the summer here; just bought my tickets home (Chicago) earlier this week, lol. That aside, it's a nice place to live.
You go to experience the world and stay where the way of live resonates with you. You roots will always be where you were born but sometimes like a plant you need a different environment to really get the best out of yourself like this young man Tristan in Spain ( who is very easy on these old eyes 😂)
You my American friend, are a citizen of the world, because you listen without prejudice and your sunny disposition brings out the best in people.
It starts with one friendly " Hello" and that is all you need to go out in the world.
Love the perspective you're giving us in your video's. Keep up the good work.
Aww wow! Thank you, Alice!!
Yooooo Maan I really enjoyed this! Man… im over here rethinking why I moved to the Netherlands the way this Tristan is talking! 😂
Haha, thanks Sky! And aye, you can always take a trip there! :)
Being myself from a country with a large wine industry and culture, I think this video is really great, congratulations to Tristan for his job and Sam for the interview, and also for your great level of Spanish, I was really surprised when I heard you speaking it.
If I were you, I would miss stroopwaffels 😝.
Thanks for the video!
Groeten uit Chile 🇨🇱
Qué chévere leer esto! Yo vivía un año y medio en Santiago Chile!😁
Y si los stroopwafels son muy buenos!
1:41 Yup. Sun. Plus great food and more relaxed people. I’m definitely jealous.
Great video, thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Leuke video en complimenten voor je nederlands! Ga er zelf wonen in September!
Dankjewel!
En wat leuk dat je gaat er wonen😃
Leuke video Sam! 🤙
Dankjewel Henk!
Definitely understand why people want to live in a better climate. Been to Spain once long time ago with some friends. I think I was 18 or 19 years old and went to Salou. Had nothing to do with culture though. Only saw the beach and the clubs for 2 weeks 🤪. Valencia staat wel op mijn lijst al hoor ik ook erg leuke dingen over Sevilla 👍🏻
Awesome video!
Would've loved if you asked him how he set up his company, with the spanish chamber of commerce? Does he still have a dutch bank account? how does he deal with taxes?
and all of that... would've loved to know more about the ins and outs in regards to running a business and taxes!
Thank you! And ahh great points, maybe I'll need to go back for a part 2!
A ❤ for the algorithm. .gonna watch tomorrow broer
Thanks, Treg!
@@exploringtheforeign as always my pleasure . My work this week has covered the blomen corso in Noord and Zuid Holland.if you know that festival .

A big upcoming NS stremming in Brabant, Overijssel and Amsterdam this weekend towards koningsdag do your viewers of bezoekers maar ons land zijn geverassend 😆
@@exploringtheforeign can always call me Richard . Sam
Good vid, interesting.
Thank you!
When I finished my studies, I did consider moving to Portugal for a while. But right now, I love my job at the "Waterschap" so much that I don't consider leaving The Netherlands anymore.
I would never be able to move to a different country. Only for vacation. This is also because its a very unique thing in my family. We are very connected to our land I think since we come from farmers family that barely moved to a different province XD
Even though I am a Spaniard who moved to the Netherlands and did the opposite movement than him, I completely understand his reasons and feel such a strong connection with him.
Haha dit is toevallig, zelf woon ik ondertussen anderhalf jaar in Valencia dus ik kan aardig relativeren, heerlijke video :). Er is wel één ding wat ik nooit heb begrepen, waarom zeggen veel mensen dat Nederlanders niet spontaan zijn. Misschien komt het door mijn vriendengroep maar wij spraken eigenlijk elke dag wel af om samen te koken, een terrasje te pakken of een potje te gamen.
Oh leuk! Valencia is echt een top stad, hoe vindt je het daar? En in mijn ervaring ik zou zeggen dat Nederlandse mensen zijn sowieso minder spontaan vergelijk andere landen haha.
Maar zeker is niet iedereen zo!
❤Love you nephew!!
Love you, uncle!
Wow, je Nederlands is zo goed!👍
Dankjewel!😃
South Euro vibes ❤
Wijn drinken in de zon als werk... living the dream! 😁
Die gozer lijkt een klein beetje op Waldemar Torenstra 😅
🇳🇱 all day. Too hot there and not green.
Less working more tanning.
Typical rich dutch guy...😅
He's not rich troll..
@@Lilygirl283 he moved to spain with barely any job. If he didn't have money, he couldn't afford that risk
Exactly 👍🏼 @@infj4w511
And probably would easily move again to another destination if he want.
@@infj4w511 How do you know? I moved to another country without being rich. It ate all my savings (Which was not a lot to begin with) but I found a job and now I get by. The risk creates the necessity. I spent my first few months here doing odd jobs such as weeding on a small farm and then got some better jobs.
