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

be me live in a relatively new part of town in the Netherlands bike 20 minutes to the city center 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: expatica.com/…/the-dutch-30-ruling-explained-1016…
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.

You can drive though the Netherlands in 3h, for Americant’s that means there are no sticks.

It takes 1 hour to get from Germany in the east to Belgium in the west.

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.
