What is it like to live in Eindhoven and NOT in Amsterdam

Join me on a captivating journey through Eindhoven, the vibrant and innovative city that often goes unnoticed compared to its more popular counterparts like Amsterdam or Utrecht.
Eindhoven has long been considered as a city of farmers. Is it still the case? Let's find out. 😏
Eindhoven has experienced remarkable development and growth in recent years, moving beyond its farming roots to become a hub of innovation. Often referred to as the brainport of the Netherlands, it has earned this distinction for good reason.
In this video, we'll delve into the major developments shaping Eindhoven and explore the city's influence in the tech industry. Get ready to discover Eindhoven's sustainable hotspots, including where to find second-hand clothes. We'll also discuss grocery stores that prioritize reducing plastic waste, a crucial aspect of the city's commitment to sustainability.
And of course, we can't forget to cover what to do and see in Eindhoven, as well as valuable insights into the housing market. Whether you're an expat or a student considering a move to this thriving city, this information will be highly relevant.
Get ready to unlock the secrets of Eindhoven, where innovation meets a rich history, and where the spirit of farmers has paved the way for a future bursting with creative possibilities.

Thank you for appreciating Eindhoven. I grew up in the smalll village of Oerle, part of the municipality of Veldhoven, where ASML is located. What Philips was before for the Eindhoven region ASML is now. A big employer and the pride of the country. Silicon Valley of Western Europe!!!!

Brought out a sea of memories of my 'second home' Eindhoven! Tania you showcased Eindhoven in the most practical manner. From the little cafés nestled in the tiny streets or the St Catherina Church to the contemporary Strip S and home to many expats - this unassuming city offers itself through its many facets. 😊

[@theselfishcodependent]

Hugs, Nezayra. 🤗 Eindhoven is definitely missing you.

[@pramodverma657]

Hi it’s so beautiful

[@Chichi-sl2mq]

I loved the intro. Like the best so far. I'm definitely subscribing to this channel

Thank you for watching! I'm happy to have you here. :)

[@ekaterinacherednikova2915]

Such a great video!!! Loved it and I want to visit Eindhoven again 😍 Thanks a lot Tania ❤️

[@theselfishcodependent]

Thank you for your continuous support! 💚

[@andypasturan7273]

nice video and very informative. looking forward moving and living in Eindhoven soon.

[@theselfishcodependent]

Thank you for watching! You are most welcome here 🤗

[@scudosmyth784]

Nice to see, back in the 50s/60s was sent there to stay with my grandparents and visit aunts& uncles for the school holidays (Gestel). My mother came from Eindhoven to Scotland after the war.

[@theselfishcodependent]

Can you still recognise the city? I bet it changed a lot!

[@TadghWagstaff]

I'm considering moving to Eindhoven after getting a job offer from ASML - most of the videos on Eindhoven online are of Americans visiting for a day or two! I really appreciate the variety of locations you recorded at in this video and hearing about your lived experience. You put so much more love into this video than similar ones I've been watching, thanks for posting!

[@theselfishcodependent]

Thank you so much! This means a lot to me! And congratulations on the job 😃 If you in the end decide to relocate - welcome to Eindhoven 🫶🍀

[@VictorSantillan]

Thanks for sharing this info 👌🏽 btw, nice shirt

[@theselfishcodependent]

Thank you 👍😊

[@user-xi6nk4xs4s]

Very nice. The first decent video about Eindhoven I've seen on YT. I'm born and raised in the region, so not many surprises for me, but a very good introduction to the city for someone from outside. What I missed (maybe something for the future?), is the fact that Eindhoven still more or less consists of the villages it has grown from (Gestel, Stratum, Woensel, Strijp, Eindhoven (do I have them all?)). I don't know how familiar you are with the other locations besides the centre and Strijp, but there might be some more points of interest there.

[@theselfishcodependent]

Thank you, Kees! That was my goal - to make a video about Eindhoven that can help people moving in here. There is indeed not much helpful information on KZbin about Eindhoven, which I find surprising because Eindhoven is developing soooo rapidly and getting more international day by day. I appreciate your suggestions - definitely maybe something for another video.

[@user-xi6nk4xs4s]

@@theselfishcodependent Welcome! I think as well that with the influx of so many international people, especially in high tech, in the region, a lot of people can appreciate your information. Especially the towns to the South-West of Eindhoven experience this influx as well. ASML will probably be the key factor in that these days.

[@skay3264]

Hi 😊👋🏻 My husband and I are moving to Eindhoven. He is already there and looking for a house/apartment for us and our cat and dog. It's not easy and the prices are higher as you stated, we can confirm that. We've been there 2x and we love the city and the nature around it. :) People are friendly which is very important to us. I hope you make few more videos on the Eindhoven topic :) Maybe dog friendly places, can canals be used for kayaking and paddle boarding, what to visit in the city and around it, some places to get good fresh cheese 🧀 from farmers... Yeah, every bit of info would be interesting and useful 🤗❤️ Thanks for this video, and love the bloopers 😁❤

[@theselfishcodependent]

Hi and welcome to Eindhoven! 💚 I'm sure you'll enjoy it here very much. Finding a place is not easy but possible so hope your husband can find something suitable very soon! I like your ideas for next videos. :) Thank you for watching and I'll try to record something along these lines! 🤗

[@Soup5600]

On the 1st of januari 2022 we got in Eindhoven 238.307 inhabitants. In the 21 municipality's surrounding Eindhoven we got a total of 785.000 people living.

[@theselfishcodependent]

That's a huge number! Eindhoven and surroundings are growing for sure. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@markvandevorstenbosch9014]

The region population doesn't really count, I feel, but if the agglomeration were in any other country then nl, it would probably be taken, and that's about 400.000 inhabitants. Sadly the Dutch government and its citizens only look at municipalities, which means 243.000 as of 1st of January 2023.

[@janvandoren8910]

There is a simple reason Eindhoven is not the capital of the province Noord Brabant. Until 1920 it was a relatively small town. In 1920 it merged with the towns of Woensel, Tongelre, Striip and Gestel. And Phillips did the rest to make it grow. Now Phillips is a memory from the past in Eindhoven, but the technical university of Eindhoven and ASML( actually located in the nearby municipality of Veldhoven, make it a good basis for Eindhoven as a high tech center.

[@theselfishcodependent]

Interesting! So in the past Den Bosch was bigger than Eindhoven? I wonder if Eindhoven will ever become the capital given the rapid growth and development of the city.

[@laurenthoutappel1258]

SHertogenbosch is now the capital of Brabant because historical it was 1 of the 5 capitals which where present in the Great Duchedome of Brabant which includes the provinces of Noord Brabant, Brabant, Dutch Limburg, Belgium Limburg and in their highest piek it even controlled the rest of the Netherlands, Namen, Henegouwen and Flanders this also had the first semi parlement of the Netherlands under the name The Hoge Raad van Brabant en de Nederlanden. The capitals where in equil share: Mechelen, Brussels, Gent, s-Hertogenbosxh and Antwerp. These city State and the Gilden had a huge influence in the Counsel of Brabant.

[@Daystar2006]

ASML is the only company in the world which makes semiconductor Photolithography machines for very advanced chips. For example, latest iPhone chip. Imagine you have to miniaturize all of Amsterdam within 1 inch space and how much complex it is. That is what that ASML lithography machine does to sketch transistors circuits inside 1 inch silicon wafer. So, ASML machines are one part of hundreds and millions of different steps to produce advanced chips. I like your profile name😆😛 Sounds exactly Dutch😜😝

Oh that's interesting! Got used to a big city's vibe? ;) Thanks for watching by the way!

ASML does not make chips, but the machines that make chips

Thank you for watching!

[@janvandoren8910]

ASML does not produce chips. It is the worlds biggest and most advanced producer of machines that make chips. TSMC in Taiwan is the worlds biggest producer of chips…. Using machines of ASML.

[@theselfishcodependent]

That's a very good addition! Thank you for correcting me - I knew that but somehow still said that ASML makes chips.

[@back2nature608]

You're an ex codependent? That would be good.

[@theselfishcodependent]

I don't think there is such a thing as an 'ex codependent'. I just became more aware and learned how to navigate it better. 😉
