Thinking of moving to the Netherlands? Or maybe you’ve just arrived and things feel… a bit strange? In this episode, I’m sharing real expat moments that’ll help you feel a little more prepared... and a lot less alone.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why Dutch birthday parties feel like organized meetings (and how that helps you connect)
- How “niets te verbergen” turns bare windows into a lesson in honesty (and what it tells you about feedback at work)
- The secret power of the humble tosti - your new go-to lunch and networking hack
- Tips for surviving three-cheek greetings without an instructional manual
- Why Dutch directness is career gold once you get the hang of it
- How scheduling every coffee meet keeps relationships strong (yes, even with friends)
- What bike lanes teach you about efficiency, trust, and fitting in
Who this is for:
Ambitious internationals in the Netherlands who want to blend into Dutch culture—and use it to boost their career success.
