Fall Over Amsterdam

It's been lovely walking home to our new abode these past few weeks. The leaves in the park are vibrant and I love crunching and kicking them under my feet. Not to mention, Amsterdam is experiencing a warm spell and it's just all too pleasant. Now if only the dog and the baby were here to enjoy the fun...

accidental expat

hi.

i really do love my home country, america. well, parts of it; but this is not a place for politics. i'm starting this blog because i've suddenly found myself in the role of expat and i'm finding the immersion process more challenging than i originally imagined.

for a former san franciscan, holland is not the most foreign place in the world; but below the surface there are enough differences that i think a guide is very helpful. i've read several (out of date) blogs from other women who went through this process, so i'm just trying to share some up to date information :)

i hope it helps and i'd love to hear about others experiences, too. i'd imagine a few other of my friends (also recent expat females from other parts of the world) will be contributing, too. we want to share as much helpful information as possible.

i hope that other expats who find this blog, will also find holland to be absolutely wonderful and worth all of the 'transition time' woes.
