Hi, We're moving from Scotland to Amsterdam, Netherlands in the spring. We have pondered upon an expat life for years but when the opportunity arose with my employer we decided to go for it. Big step for us, taking 2 kids and 2 dogs. So much to think about and organise. Dont know where to start but cant wait to get going. Looking forward to joining the expat ranks though. Gogs

Hello and a big welcome to BE.

Excellent information can be found in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, another set of great help is the permanent threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading.

Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font.

Please contact me if I can give you any further help.

Hi gogs_kaz ,

Welcome to BE. I hope you enjoying being part of our community. We have a small, but growing, Netherlands forum and I'm sure you will get to know a few people and pick up a few tips along the way. Please give me a shout if you get stuck on any of the site's bells and whistles.

The best of luck with your move, I am sure you are both excited and apprehensive all at the same time, but I bet you will have a great adventure.

Hi Sue,

Thanks, we're pouring over the forum and picking up lots of great tips and advice.
We're all really looking forward to experiencing a new culture and hopefully a slightly better climate than that experienced in Aberdeen.
But as you say there's apprehension also, a step into the unknown !!
