Expats in NL Survival Guide
One of the best things about being an Expat is that we get to experience life and culture in countries vastly different from our own. Some of us get to settle in our host country longterm and learn to navigate their ways & customs through trial and error. Other Expats move more frequently and have to adapt and hit the ground running almost as soon as they arrive in a new place. However, the successful Expat is the one who knows there will be positives as well as challenges to face in any new country they move to and arms themselves in advance with as much information as possible about what to expect.
Research and preparation is vital to making the start of your life in a new country as smooth as possible. Sometimes you find yourself in at the deep end and it’s like a baptism of fire, but if you have the right support your more likely to get through and enjoy your time in this new place.
Our mission at Expat Directory is to help you navigate your way through the maze of how to live your best life in The Netherlands!
In order to help our Expat Community with not only the best up to date technical information but also some savvy Tips & Tricks about getting the best out of your life in NL, we have made a list of some of our experts below:
Our friends Skyla Herod & Charlotte Puymans are the founders of Orange Compass. As Expats themselves, they understood that living in new countries offers “attractions as well as challenges”. Their approach is to offer “practical and cultural guiding tools help you get on top of things more quickly, manage your stress along the “expat curve”, and connect with others to start feeling at home in the Netherlands”.
