Great video! I went to Amsterdam for about 24 hours (had a long layover) when I was on my way to Vienna. I got to explore the city in that time by checking out Vondelpark, walking around downtown, and visiting the Anne Frank House. Although it was a short stay, it was beautiful!
I have never been to Amsterdam. I lived in Germany for several years and took the train into the Netherlands a few times. One of my fondest memories is watching the cyclist with opened umbrellas. It still makes me chuckle.
Magical Amsterdam and all it's offerings, what a great video! The locations in conjunction with the soundtrack really take one to the heart of the beautiful city. Super well done**** Thank you
ila sky thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it :) It took me a long time to edit 😳 But it was fun to pick out the music and the 4K shots were so pretty! Funny coincidence that I happened to be out on the boat in Amsterdam today, the same day the video was published. I haven’t been on the boat since October!
Great video, thanks for taking the time to make it. We're thinking of moving to Amsterdam this year, and your videos have been great and informative. So many little tips that can save us a lot of time. And all the best with your channel. You're doing a lot of good for the others.
Thank you for the nice comment, Narnia! I'm so happy you guys are finding valuable tips in the videos and I'm excited for your plans of moving to Amsterdam! I'm sure you won't regret it; I'm thinking of moving there full-time myself!
I used to live in London for 10 year and also used to live in Amsterdam for 10 years as well by my own experience holland and Amsterdam was much better in everything for me IM GOING BACK TO AMSTERDAM AGAIN ❌❤️❌❤️❌❤️
I have few questions please: i am preparing technically to become digital nomad next year being web developer and AutoCAD operator. I wonder why bussiness plan i should show them during the process. Could a lawyer help me? Also in case it worked, can i apply for permanent residency for the long run?
@@TravelingwithKristin Groningen is a beautiful place to visit in the Netherlands, I live there. It is a smaller city, but a major hub in the north-east of the Netherlands. Is has the canals and bicycles, old and new architecture, surrounding countryside and a very lively and international feel due to the presence of many students from the university. Basically it is big city and small town feeling combined!
@@TravelingwithKristin Try Maastricht! It's in the very South of the Netherlands, it's a city with lots of architecture still standing from the Middle Ages, the climate is better than most areas of the Netherlands, and it's a stone's throw away from Germany and Belgium, both of which you can literally go to by bike. Oh and the food is delicious, try the Val Brie salad!
great video, I have been to Amsterdan twice while living in London (weekend trips only) and definetely is one of my favorite cities, great city, great people, great vibe
Thanks Monica! Ah - love Amsterdam so much - it's so unique and pleasant. I've noticed a lot of Londoners around too :) Where are you based now, remind me? Or were you traveling and remote now?
Hi Kristina, thank you for incredible video tours. Can you explain if you had any experience what is the restrictions or challenges to travel from USA to Belgium trout the Amsterdam. Covid -19 didn't make easy to travel around. So can I fly to Amsterdam and take a train from there to Belgium ?
You are so welcome! Glad you liked this video - it’s one of my favorites! I don’t know any US citizens who have been able to land in Amsterdam unless they have an EU passport. So I don’t think NL is open yet to Americans. But theoretically you could take a train if so. I’ll check up on that because maybe something changed there recently but since Holland is Schengen it’s under the same rules
I have visited Amsterdam with bus from Dortmund just for 1 day, without overnighting there as German cities are very near to most reknowned cities of EU such as Prag, Lubljana, Milan, Wien, Salzburg, Amsterdam, Brussels.
I love all your videos but I have one crazy question for you. Who is filming you? Lol I know crazy question right but it’s driving me crazy for some reason I have to know. 😂
If we can get the kids and move there? I would tomorrow. The US has little I like. Amsterdam has all the Things! Curious about an American Teacher seeking work there? Mayne the International School? She teaches middle school. We went on our honeymoon in 2011. Absolutely was convinced it was where I would live if possible. I prefer biking and using transit. Love the walkable city, constant trains, old buildings, etc.
Hi Kristin - Hoping you wouldn't mind pointing me the right direction here. Been to Amsterdam several times over the last decade and would love to live and work there. While I work a steady, well-paying job in finance here in the US, it's not with a company which has any international - much less any Dutch - presence. My understanding is that it is very difficult to move to the Netherlands and gain employment since Dutch companies must prove that there aren't any qualified Dutch (then qualified European) prospects for an open position. Are the Dutch a bit more welcoming to foreigners who go into business for themselves? Or perhaps I need to marry a Dutch woman? ha! To summarize, what would you say are the best ways to move to the Netherlands and stay beyond the 90 day visa period and actually get a decent job? Thanks in advance!
Hi H, great question and sorry for the late response. There are quite a few ways to work in the Netherlands. One of the most popular ways is through the Dutch-US friendship treaty where you can start your own business. However, there are many companies that hire international employers. I would recommend finding a remote job in finance that allows you to work from anywhere, then apply for temporary residency in NL through the friendship treaty. Would your company let you work remotely from abroad?
@@TravelingwithKristinSeeing your channel is about expats, there are a lot of them in The Hague, old city with lot's of things to see, some amazing restaurants and Scheveningen as the beach. Then there is Rotterdam, harbor city with a mix of old and new town and a melting pot of cultures. Great small shops and small cafe's. My fave town in Holland. If you want to go even further south, definitely go to Maastricht, beautiful city and warm people. If you want more info, let me know!
@@TravelingwithKristin You're welcome Kristin! What are your plans for The Hague? All great cities to visit, nice schedule. How long are you staying in Holland?
Amsterdam is very expensive. Even compared to other big cities in The Netherlands like Utrecht, The Hague, Rotterdam and Eindhoven. Smaller cities (like Alkmaar, Groningen, Den Bosch, Almere, Arnhem) are way cheaper. Villages are of course even cheaper to live in. And by train you can be in Amsterdam in no time from anywhere in the country.
Omg i love how you clearly explain everything in this video , moreover enjoy Hineken Beer ( beer from my country 😂) By the way , could you tell me the minimum salary cost vs the cost of living here , it will be the life ratio ( monthly minimum income vs monthly cost of living ) so it will make me sure to find a job in That country ..... hope to see more your video , i am now following you from Thailand 🇹🇭😊
Hi Dee, glad you liked it! I’m not sure what the minimum wage is there as I advocate for people to work online and work remotely. Let me know if you have any questions on that!
The best city in the world. Is this video sponsored by Heineken btw? Because no respecting Dutch person would drink that. French fries are not even from France btw. Americans call them french fries, but they are actually from Vlaanderen(Flanders) the Dutch part of Belgium. Not even the French part of Belgium. Oww those Americans. Just call them fries please. It's the most eaten food in the Netherlands and it's supposed to be for diner actually.
One thing you’ll notice right off about the Dutch is their effortless fluency in English as it’s compulsory at all levels of the Dutch secondary education system. In fact, many Dutch people I’ve known over the years speak better English than the English themselves. Oh, and by the way, New York City was once known as New Amsterdam😉
Indonesian food in Amsterdam is first rate with the colonial ties in the past. A short rail trip outside Amsterdam takes you to see windmills in places like Zaanse Schans. A worthwhile day trip with nice hike. Tulip season is also very popular.
I don't know why it's taken me so long to warm up to Amsterdam. Maybe its the cold. But love the architecture, canals, biking culture. Not a pothead though and the liberal sexual culture is a big turnoff.
Yeahhh I love Amsterdam! Was perfect for me as digital nomad when I started my social business due to the many events they organise for startups. And many cool coworking spaces. :)
Yes Stella! Love Amsterdam so much! You're lucky to have a connection here :) Next time you come try out Common Grounds and you get a free trial week to go to 12+ coworking spaces around the city - here is my link! app.commongrounds.co/join?referralCode=KW6286
Next time your in the Netherlands, check out The Hague/Utrecht/Rotterdam/Deventer/Groningen. The Netherlands is certainly not just Amsterdam. I would even say if you truly wanted to get to know the Dutch culture, don't stay in Amsterdam.
@@TravelingwithKristin Leiden is a great city too! I'd recommend looking it up if you're not already familiar with it. It's really beautiful, has many of the amenities of Amsterdam, slightly lower housing costs and is within easy reach of all of the other great cities and towns of Noord and Zuid Holland, thanks to the wonders of NS trains. Haarlem would be my second choice if I wanted to be closer to Amsterdam.
@@arunj6564 In the area of Eindhoven you should be able to rent a decent apartment for 1200 a month. ( i checked) Healthcare for 2+1 €270 ( mandatory, no way around it ) Groceries and clothing €1000 Energy + water €200 transport €400 extra's €430
I lived in Amsterdam back in the mid 70's for almost a year and have been back a couple of times, but it's been many years since I've been to Amsterdam. It's my favorite city in the entire world. I'm glad to see that there are still so many things that I loved about it that are still there. Thanks for the great video.
