Welcome to the Netherlands, we were forced to move here due to work relocation, but now love this quirky Country, we have no intention of leaving, actually, we collect our permanent residency cards next week🎉🎉🎉

This brings back so many memories We moved to the Netherlands over 30 yrs ago with our two young daughters One of those daughters NOW moved to Seattle with her family. Our daughters grew up with so much freedom on their bikes.Gave them so much confidence Will always be grateful to the Dutch way of life for our daughters

Welkom in Nederland. Geniet van het moois dat we hebben . En heb geduld met onze onvolkomenheden.

the Netherlands is a great place to raise a kid.

Welcome to The Netherlands. I like how you do videos from the context of your son. I joined your channel to see how he will adapt to the new situation. Probably faster than you.

0:10 horse's thinking 'thats not what we say over here kid'😊

Here is another Dutch Perspective for ya: you'll have to make a decision: Do you want to be entirely on your own, and maybe get to know a few other expats, then by all means stick to English. Do you want to mingle with the Dutch, get a good taste of True Dutch culture, and leave those other expats for what they are for a brief moment? By all means learn Dutch. Even though the vast majority of the Dutch population speaks more or less English, it really is Dutch which is the native language of The Netherlands. Dutch it is and Dutch it will be. To the Dutch it is like this: OK you speak English, so you do not take the trouble to learn Dutch, so you must be temporary here and you must be on your way out soon. We (The Dutch) lost interest in this person. Or: Hey well so nice of this foreigner to learn Dutch, he or she respects this country and its inhabitants and this person obviously wants to mingle with us: let's invite this person into our lives! English is a foreign language to us Dutchies it is a way to talk to strangers whom want to stay stranger, or maybe to a person who really want's to learn Dutch but just arrived... Let there be no misconception about this: English is to talk to strangers and Dutch among friends! This is The Netherlands after all and our language is Dutch and absolutely not English, although to strangers we will talk English. By choosing English as a language, you choose to stay a foreigner ! And so doors stay closed for you! Doors that will open for you when you speak Dutch ;-)

Welcome! You should visit the Efteling and give yourself the gift of a museumcard, so you can visit musea in The Netherlands for free. Great musea with kids: openluchtmuseum in Arnhem, Spoorwegmuseum in Utrecht, Archeon in Alphen aan de Rijn, Zuiderzeemuseum in Enkhuizen, just to name a few. Have fun!

I wish my job made me and my family move to the Netherlands. What a wonderful place to raise healthy happy children

Hope you'll like to live in the Netherlands, but since you were not doomed to live in Amsterdam, I guess you'll do just fine. Welcome to the best country in the world.

Welcome to Limburg! Its a great region and portal to Europe. I've got some tips for you around Heerlen/Brunssum: A mural tour in Heerlen, gaia Zoo in Kerkrade, the town of Valkenburg. Greetings from a local navy veteran.

Oliebollen were introduced in New Amsterdam (now New York), where they became oliekoeken (cookies from the Dutch word koekjes prepared in oil). You could pay them with daalders (a Dutch word and the origin of the dollar). These oilcookies were the first donuts.

Welcome to The Netherlands 🙂

Welkom in Nederland !

For sure you did choose the nicest province of our country. Welcome to Limburg !

Welcome to our little country, hope to see more soon.

Welcome to The Netherlands greetings from Zuid Holland

Sam, Ashley and Andreas.... welcome to the Netherlands. Hope you will enjoy your stay and learn a lot of our country. Greetings just a 60 year old woman from Almelo 😊 Marjolein😊

You chose the right province! And i am living around the corner so i know you should have a great time over here.

Andrea is adorable. Especially when she is break dancing. Have a blast, enjoy my country!

Welcome to the Netherlands. 🙏

Welcome to the Netherlands! Hope you have a wonderful time.

What a sweet little kid

The south is a beautiful area. Welcome here.

Welcome to the Netherlands! Tip on how to learn my language ... read children books (that's how kids learn a language), see the news and get a copy of "dutch for dummies" as it is phonetically or else it will sound like puking as all ends with -ijk Have Fun ... a fellow cyclist

Welkom in Limburg, groeten uit Bocholtz.

Welcome to the Netherlands! I hope you'll enjoy your stay here :)

Welcome to the country! Hope you enjoy

My dude is even rockin the slippers. Welcome!

All these castles are new to me😂as a dutchie

aww your kid is SOOO ADORABLE with a lot of personality. I'm pretty sure he is a lot to handle :P

Hey, Welcome to the south of Limburg. I live in Maastricht and was born and raised in the countryside nearby. I'd love to give you some tips for the region, if you like.

Very useful video, thank you!

Enjoy it!👍

Love the Netherlands❤

Welcome to Limburg. Have a good stay here.

Learn German and Dutch, Limburg us near a pretty part of Germany, if you have to learn French, if you want to check out the Ardennes and Walloonia.

Welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay here.

Welcome! 🙂

enjoyed your video!

welkom in the netherlands i will follow your trevels here i am dutch

It may be a bit late but welcome to the Netherlands anyway. I hope you will enjoy your stay in our tiny country and gain some insights that might benefit you later on in life.

❤

Well done people. Geniet alles….

I visited ones Seattle.i have family living in victoria bc 👍 i hope you will have a great time here.

Dont worry about learning Dutch, you wont be able to understand the dialect in the south of Limburg anyway. I live in north limburg and i need subtitles for the south😅

Welcome and yes i subscribed 😉🇳🇱👍

Are you being in The Efteling? With your son on this age, you 3 gonna love it!!

You should go to the Efteling with your kid!

Welkom to The Nederlands!

Better check out the wild, wild east, Overijssel,, with Zwolle, Deventer, and Kampen city. Drenthe with its Megalites and ancient villages. Stay away from Amsterdam, it's a tourist trap... If you have to try cities in the west try Utrecht, Leiden, Den Haag, in the north Groningen, in the south Maastricht. And have a look at the islands, Terschelling, etc.

No boddy subscribe, let me fix that . I hope you and you,re family have a good time and future in the netherlands. I,m dutch too , i,m from Limburg also , i live in Sittard Just 20 minuts from Brunssum. There is also a american army base there . Good luck guys 👍✌️

welcome to europe

Don’t forget to visit the North and the islands, because they are well worth a visit. People in the south often treat the North of The Netherlands like it’s the end of the world. We always joke that the journey from the south to the north is twice as long as from the north to the sount.

Phantasialand brul Germany, de Kempen and Eiffel are all nearby

Welcome in our "weird" little country. Hope you'll enjoy your stay in our neighboring province of Limburg.

We just moved from the Sunbelt to Seattle and use bikes as our primary means of travel when it's too far to walk. In Ballard it feels pretty easy, but as you know it's heavily neighborhood dependent here. I'm looking forward to seeing how life-by-bike is in The Netherlands one day soon. Did you already use bikes regularly while living in Seattle?

Welcome to the Netherlands! I hope your child can swim? If not, get lessons, asap! It's a water country :) All kids end up in a ditch or river here and there... it's why Dutch children get swimming lessons from a very early age. ( I kinda think yours can already swim, with the travelling you do?)

welkom in zuid limburg

Welkom.

👍

Welcome to the Netherworlds ;)

Why so many bikes? one to travel from home to the trainstation,after arrival in the town where you work contineu the journy with your next bike.

Seems like a lot of the footage is from Germany?

Kunnen jullie al Nederlands?

are you moving for good, or are you just a migrant worker?

Ditch the music

why so much biking in germany if you are talking about the netherlands? That is confusing ( although the burg Eltz and the moezel area are beautiful it is not the netherlands)

Nice video, but WHY that terrible, annoying and totally unnecessary noise in the background ( a person making sounds on a trumpet) . It's distracting and does not contribute to anything!!!

Honestly not a fan of parents putting their child this prominently on the internet like this. I mean, its your child, do what you want, but he is gonna grow up one day and his whole childhood being public domain without his consent is kinda weird.

Welkom in Nederland!
