My life as a working hobo!

Leaving the UK for the first time to live in The Netherlands

Well, where can I start. I've never lived abroad and since deciding that at 27 it was now or never, I've managed to get myself a teaching post in Amsterdam. Two weeks on its starting to sink in, although the list of things to arrange is starting to look daunting. I'm excited about the prospect of living and working in Holland but at the same time if I think about it too long I'm scared. Maybe it's because I'm doing it on my own, but surely that makes it even more exciting. I guess as it gets nearer the move date (9 weeks time) adrenalin will overcome fear and I will start my new life in a new country. I'm visiting the school fpor a few days early June and I'm hoping that after that I will start feeling more secure that I have made the correct decision. Until then I shall just have to keep telling myself its a new adventure. I've travelled many times around Europe and now its the first step on the international work market.

moving abroad
I moved abroad (USA) for the first time about four years ago and it was daunting but mostly exciting. I'm still, there (green card and all) and don't regret it for a minute. You'll find the Dutch welcoming and hospitable, particularly towards the English it would seem. Of course most people there speak excellent English which will help you, no doubt, if you are not already a fluent speaker. Good luck!!
