Benefits of Living in the Netherlands as an American

by: Henry, Founder of KassKop

I first moved to the Netherlands in 2022 and believe it or not, I came with an almost blank perspective of the Netherlands. I knew about the bikes, cheese and canals but not much else. I remember I used to play videogames with a Dutch girl in my teenage years but I didn’t know much outside of that. After being here for sometime, I fell in love with the country.

Here is my list what I love about the country.

Bike lanes wrap all around the country, allowing smooth, seamless transportation.

The location allows easy access to Sunny south or Snowy north, for cheap.

The Netherlands provides easy ways to be healthy. The food is regulated by EU standards, which are significantly higher than American standards. I used to suffer with terrible cystic acne – this has all stopped since I lived in Europe, despite my higher intake of cheese!

Additionally, the Dutch health system prioritizes taking care of people with major health issues. I believe work-life balance to be just right.

You can adventure as much as you want here, the beauty of the Netherlands is so accessible. Exploring a new culture, cuisines, lifestyle and language. Spice up your life! Who is really stopping you?
