moving to amsterdam as an american | reality of moving abroad

[@telebluesboy8186]

Hello Kayleigh…just stumbled upon your new vlog tonight and I’m enjoying it so far. I sounds like you could learn to make your own iced coffee. I make iced coffee daily although it’s not like the fancy stuff you got t home. I’m hoping to visit Amsterdam soon…so I’ve been checking all the Amsterdam KZbin videos ad nauseam. Happy new home to you and the hubs. 😉👏🏼👏🏼

Great vlog Kaleigh. I felt the heartache of saying goodbye. But you are so much welcome here. Komt helemaal goed! 😁

[@kayshaynee]

Thanks so much for your message🥹 it was definitely a hard goodbye… but I’m hoping I will love it here!❤

[@BlueRowHouse]

Congratulations! Nice vlog. You can visit your family. It’s something to be looking forward to. Wishing you all the best!

[@fireworkmaster2]

Welcome to the Netherlands ❤ and i hope you will have an great time living there and keep it up with the vlogging i loved this video😍

[@kayshaynee]

Thank you much🥹 I’m glad you liked it!! I’m going to continue the vlogs❤

[@LianeBuijsman]

Welkom! Heel erg benieuwd naar al je avonturen en ontdekkingen in ons kikkerlandje ❤❤

[@kayshaynee]

Dankjewel❤❤

[@chellionnaire]

Hoping to do the same this year!! 🎉 I'm happy to have found your channel, already taking notes (like the vacuum-sealed clothing bricks, genius 🤯)

[@kayshaynee]

Ahhhh I’m happy you found me too!! If you ever have any questions feel free to message me😊 good luck!

[@laziojohnny79]

Are you gonna make a vlog bout you moving over here as well?

[@chellionnaire]

@ probably not, I'm much too shy for that ☺️

[@laziojohnny79]

@ ohh but being shy is not something I recommend when living in the NLs, 99,9% of us are everything but shy and you might get taken advantage of. You have to be able to stand your ground here and speak up for yourself.

[@chellionnaire]

@ Thanks, that's a good tip! I think I'm more bold in person, maybe I'm just video-shy.

[@AudradeBont]

Welcome to The Netherlands! I am also an American who moved to The Netherlands with my Dutch husband!

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

I have been living in the Netherlands since 1958, it is an acquired taste, but I'm getting used to it :) Go look in other places outside Amsterdam, go walk on the beach, go to Haarlem, Utrecht, Leiden, Zwolle, Den Haag... Learn to ride a bike, if you do, go with the flow...Cars do not work in inner cities..And trains are okay here..

[@laziojohnny79]

Welcome to our itsy bitsy teenie weenie tiny sweet petite little a** country. Hope you'll feel at home here very soon, but I have yet to come across an American that hasn't and did not grew to love this peculiar place as much as we do. And kudos for wanting to learn the language where it isn't required, that shows class!

[@FoodieEef]

I love your vlog. Keep them coming! 🤩

[@kayshaynee]

Thank you🥹💖 they are a lot of work to make lol but I am going to try to keep them coming!

[@lynnegoding847]

[@kayshaynee]

[@jpacuriel]

This vlog is amazing! Keep it up! Im also American and I have a British boyfriend. We plan to move abroad somewhere in Europe so this is very inspiring! I love Amsterdam!

[@kayshaynee]

No way!! What an adventure for you guys🥰 and thanks for your nice comment, it really means a lot! I’m definitely going to continue vlogging… trying to navigate carrying my camera in public😂

[@mirjamg8274]

Welcome in our land, have a great time!

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

And remember the city has a nickname: Mokum [Moke'm}. Meaning "Place" in Hbrew.

[@RicePotato20]

So why you would not be able to drive in the Netherlands? We have cars here as well. Just do an driving exam @CBR costs are 138,50 euro and before you can do the driving exam you need to pass the theory exam 55 euro ( you can do that in english ). Because you have driving experience in the US you will not need many lessons at a driving school. If you do need driving lessons before the exam. The average costs a driving schools asks is 55 euro for 1 hour. Good luck!

[@emmavanos9123]

Welcome home!

[@kayshaynee]

Thank you ❤

[@SintyAbroad]

as an Indonesian , move to The Netherlands next week i'm so nervous ...

[@esylvia]

I'm kind of impressed your first coffee was at Wakuli, such a local already!

[@kayshaynee]

hahaha been there every day since I got here 😂 the coffee is great!

[@xsannebraam]

Welcome to the Netherlands❤

[@kayshaynee]

Thank you!💖🥰

[@apveening]

You could have saved a lot on medical (and dental) stuff by postponing it until after arrival in the Netherlands.

[@BobWitlox]

Out of curiosity, what does a dentist checkup cost in the US? In the Netherlands it costs like 40 euros. I pay it out of pocket too because I choose not to have dental insurance because I never need any procedures other than checkups.

[@kayshaynee]

My cleaning/check up with my type of insurance was free 2 times a year. Without insurance it would cost $140 at my dentist

[@rmyikzelf5604]

Plenty of Ice Coffee available in the Netherlands. And cars.

[@aorta538]

moving to amsterdam as an american, 'just in time'... 🤗

[@kayshaynee]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Dutch-Power-Cow]

Yes you do have to learn Dutch, you will be fine...☺☺☺

[@frits1954X2]

welcome to the Netherlands Walking takes quite a while but cycling is 3 times faster There are cycling courses all over Amsterdam, the Cyclists' Union or community centres Or a Dutch spouse, a second-hand bicycle crate for on top and you're good Regards Frits from Amsterdam

[@johnveerkamp1501]

YOU WILL NOT MIS THE JUNK FOOD ,THERE YOU GET SICK FROM !!!!

[@frits1954X2]

No car, go cycling without insurance to the dentist for a check-up costs €30.-

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

[@michlon6144]

[@kayshaynee]
