my first 2 months living in amsterdam: the truth about jobs, rent & starting over
In this podcast I talk about my first two months living in Amsterdam as a young foreigner trying to start a new life from zero.
After coming back from Argentina, going through a breakup and not wanting to stay in my hometown, I decided to move to Amsterdam — the only city where I could really imagine myself living.
In this episode I talk about:
CHAPTER 1
00:00 why Amsterdam?
04:46 how did you find your place?
08:45 is Amsterdam really expensive?
09:48 which was the first thing you did when you moved?
11:22 cafes, cool places and cool people
13:45 the bike
16:30 the weather
19:30 CHAPTER 2: the job
20:00 is easy find a job in Amsterdam?
21:47 my work experiences
27:47 give yourself time
28:18 still looking for an house

If you’re planning to move abroad, move to Amsterdam, or start over after a breakup, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone.
I’m young, still figuring things out, but for the first time, I finally feel like this city could be home.
