6 Reasons Why Living in The Netherlands Will Change Your Life

Will living in the Netherlands change your life? If you’ve been to the Netherlands, probably on a holiday, you’ll find it easier to appreciate this video. The country located in northwestern Europe has overseas territories in the Caribbean. The Netherlands, consisting of 12 provinces is the largest of 4 constituent countries in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. If you haven’t been to this country, you’re missing out on a lot. There are unique aspects of the Netherlands that you just can only understand by experiencing them for yourself. More importantly, knowing and living in the country will certainly change your life. If you’re thinking about making a move or you’re yet to do so, please consider these 6 reasons why living in the Netherlands will change your life.
6. Easy to Travel and Explore
This appears to be the best place to begin exploring those reasons. Our attention has been drawn to what we’ve already seen about the ease of navigating and exploring the Netherlands. Covering a total area of 41,865 square kilometres, the Netherlands is relatively small. It’s, in fact, the 134th largest. Do you know what that means? It’ll be so easy to travel from one side of the country to the other. In that case, if you hadn’t been a lover of travel, the ease of travel may turn you into an explorer.
What about the cost of the train? The beauty of this is that the cost is fairly the same regardless of whether you got your ticket 20 months away or just 20 minutes to the travel time. This means you can travel anywhere anytime. You know you wouldn’t get caught out with extortionate prices. This takes away the tradition of rigorous planning for trips with meticulous zeal and payment of fares well in advance. The transport system is well-regulated but flexible.
Additionally, remember that the country is sandwiched between Germany and Belgium. At the same time, it’s within adequate driving distance of Luxembourg and France. Therefore, if you want to go further afield, it’s only a day trip. You can do it all within the same day. Of course, no one would love to leave the Netherlands.
5. A More Liberal Approach to Law
Many people have said that the law is too permissive in this country. Is that true? Here, we’ll be specific about the law governing the use of drugs, especially cannabis. In many countries in the world, Cannabis is a criminal offence. In stricter climes, it attracts life imprisonment or even death if you’re caught using or even possessing it. This isn’t surprising, I guess, depending on where you’re in the world. The approach to this in the Netherlands is more liberal.
It’s no news that cannabis is decriminalised in the Netherlands. People in this country buy from backstreet dealers. These dealers grow their own cannabis in attics. But it’s good to separate the myth from the reality so that you don’t get scared of going to this country. It’s regulated in the Netherlands also, especially since 1976. Though police would not randomly arrest just any smokers, if a group causes public disorder while smoking weed, the law on cannabis will be activated. There’s a limit to the quantity that can be grown or sold by and to individuals.
4. Work-life Balance
This is one of the toughest principles to apply in many places. Most countries are just paying lip service to work-life balance. The family is the most unfortunate victim of this. It has been particularly challenging to leave work to the workplace and enjoy quality time with families and elsewhere. Some have had to quit lucrative jobs in many countries when they realize its debilitating effect on their health and family. If you’re living in places like Canada or the UK, you can easily identify with this.
It’s one thing to enjoy your work in a country, it’s yet another to work there. Here, you can have it both ways. People tend to work fewer hours in the Netherlands. High values and priority are placed on home time versus work time. The pay and, hence, the standard of living is high enough such that you don’t need the usual 9 to 5 work 24/7 as you do in the US to make both ends meet.

[@lovehumanbeings7859]

@@acidset FOR THE MOST PART, YES. NOW, IF SOMEONE IS NOT A GRATEFUL PERSON, HE / SHE CAN NEVER STAY HAPPY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. NEVER. NEVER. A PERSON OF COMPARISON WILL ALWAYS COMPARE. NOW, THE SETTLEMENT PART ! PEOPLE LIVE ALL OVER THE WORLD. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE EVEN VERY HAPPY IN SOMALIA. YOU CAN EASILY FIND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL TELL YOU, OH OH. THEY ARE NOT HAPPY WHERE THEY ARE LIVING. SIMILARLY, YOU WILL FIND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL SAY, THEY ARE VERY HAPPY WHEREVER THEY ARE LIVING. EVEN FROM A SAME COUNTRY, THIS THING WILL HAPPEN. 1000s OF PEOPLE ARE UNHAPPY IN CANADA. 1000s OF PEOPLE ARE VERY HAPPY IN CANADA. NAME ANY COUNTRY. YOU WILL FIND SAME SCENARIO. LONG STORY SHORT. PEOPLE JUST TRY TO JUSTIFY. A JEALOUS PERSON LIVING IN PAKISTAN WILL ALWAYS BE POINTING FINGERS ON PEOPLE LIVING OVERSEAS....OH OH, PAK IS GOOD, PAK IS GOOD...LOL. SIMILARLY, A PERSON RETURNING BACK TO PAK WILL BE SAYING, OH OH, NEVER MOVE ABROAD...LOL. FACT IS: IT ALL DEPENDS ON EACH INDIVIDUAL. SITUATION OF EACH PERSON IS DIFFERENT.... 100000s HAPPY. 100000s UNHAPPY. FACTS WILL REMAIN FACTS.
