Want to chill in Amsterdam?
The answer is simple: you need to read.
You can follow my blog where I want to support you with recommendations and share some interesting information that might be helpful for your move to Amsterdam or, if you have already moved, — to unlock hidden aspects of living here.
It’s not a secret that moving to another country is a very serious step that requires a lot of planning, research and weighted decisions. Upon arrival you begin to understand the actual level of bureaucracy at the place of your new destination, facing obstacles while getting yourself connected to the digital world of local Internet, TV and mobile providers, and settling your health insurance and financial security. Probably, that’s the most intense part of every move.
My recommendation for the stage of your initial research, when the level of anxiety starts slowly increasing due to non-stop questions popping into your head, would be to add the following English-language platforms to your bookmarks:
IamExpat — a great media resource with the latest expat news and all you need to know about career, housing, education, expat services and just lifestyle here.
Dutch News — is the leading provider of quality Dutch news in English for an international audience.

https://amsterdam-mamas.nl/ — a community built to provide information and support to international parents in Amsterdam and the surrounding regions. If you are a parent or planning to have kids — joining their facebook group is highly recommended.
I amsterdam - a decent guide to the city about all cultural events but also covering essential information about living, working and studying in Amsterdam.
Reading these website will add more clarity on how health insurance works in the Netherlands, how the education system is built, how employee’s rights are protected and simply all the latest news about the Dutch society.
