be me
live in a relatively new part of town in the Netherlands
bike 20 minutes to the city center
no hills or mountains because netherlands
See almost no cars because most bike routes are completely seperated and shorter than car routes
Park my bike in a surveilled parking area funded by the city
Do all my shopping for the day and return
MFW my friends and family don't even realize how good we have it
So how easy is it for an American to move to the Netherlands? Asking for myself
If you are skilled labor, yes: https://www.expatica.com/nl/finance/taxes/the-dutch-30-ruling-explained-101641/
But what @abbadon420 said is equally true. Housing market's fucked beyond belief. Now, if you want to WFH and live out in the sticks, you'd be set.
Or you'll need to bring like 500k. No, that's not a joke.
For a small flat in an older building, surely not for a single house or even semi…
The average house, including the shitty apartments in the middle of nowhere, is 440k
You can drive though the Netherlands in 3h, for Americant’s that means there are no sticks.
Drive though the Netherlands in 3h
It takes 1 hour to get from Germany in the east to Belgium in the west.
On a plane maybe
The Netherlands is less than half the size of my state. There is nowhere in the Netherlands that is more rural than where I live right now, lol.
Eh, there are a few spots that it certainly feels like it, especially the Frisian islands.
I guess it's easy enough, but good luck finding a house.

No hills or mountains is great for biking, but bad for beautiful nature experiences (BNE)
