Great sharing experience you guy's keep safe.

[@3travelog]

Thanks for sharing guys! Such useful information - We just moved here and still trying to understand the process so this helps.

[@CherylJesse]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrPootzen]

So I looked it up and OHAO is a Dutch acronym for "Independent Mortgage Advice Online". Thank you for sharing your experience and advice for people like me who are looking to move and live long term in the Netherlands.

[@CherylJesse]

Hahaha that makes a lot of sense 🤣🤣

[@antam3764]

Hello, i know it's off topic , but who does Jessie use as a barber? I know you discussed going to mokum a couple years back, but I'm curious who you go to now that you are established here.

[@punkrachmaninoff]

Used to live in Amsterdam (near Wibautstraat) back in '09, sorta wanted to move permanently back then and I wish I had but I moved back to Winnipeg instead. As a writer, it is difficult to deal with the freelance aspect. What are the apartment prices like right now as compared to Canada? Same wild real estate market by percentage, or is it more reasonable?

[@CherylJesse]

Honestly, compared to Vancouver I think it's really reasonable. Prices can go a LOT lower once you look a few steps outside of the ring and that distance is nothing compared to if you were to move to the suburbs in Vancouver.

[@punkrachmaninoff]

@@CherylJesse Yeah, I am in Winnipeg so it is not quite Vancouver expensive, that's for sure. I should have bought an apartment in Amsterdam instead of a house in Winnipeg in 2009. So it goes.

[@CherylJesse]

@@punkrachmaninoff haha, don't we all wish that. Wish I had bought an apartment in Vancouver back in those days too 😅

[@gerrygrouwe70]

I was expecting a vlog about your first koningsdag 😂😂😂

[@CherylJesse]

hahaha, MAY come later. We actually don't have that much footage but maybe will combine it with some other things
