Meet Omar! We helped him move from Groningen to Amsterdam and he shared his thoughts on living in the bigger city. Read more about his experience below!

So, where did you move from Omar?

I moved from Groningen to Amsterdam

What made you decide to move to the Netherlands? 

I had a work opportunity and decided to move. 

How did you find the transition to living in a foreign country? 

It was quite easy given that I’ve been preparing for it for a long time.

What do you find typically Dutch? 

Bitterballen!

What has been the best part of your move?

I would say that the best part has been moving to a larger city with a lot of people and a bigger international environment.

What has been the hardest aspect of your expat experience so far? 

I would say creating social circles after finishing my university years has been the hardest aspect. 

What would you have done differently? 

I would’ve moved from Groningen to Amsterdam earlier.
