7 Surprising Lessons We've Learned Living in the Netherlands as Expats

As American Expats living in the Netherlands, we've had unique experiences that have taught me a lot about the Dutch culture and way of life. In this video, We're sharing 7 surprising lessons that we've learned while living here over the past year and a half.

From the importance of learning to slow down, to watching Dutch children just be children, we've been taught so much in our time living here. We're excited to continue to learn and immerse ourselves in the Dutch culture as we continue to build our lives here.
