Our Story
Before relocating from the United States to the Netherlands with our young kids and dog, neither of us had ever been—not even on vacation. We had no idea if we would like it or where in the country we might want to live.
So we planned a scouting trip!
We narrowed our list of possible areas and, during the 5-day trip, I was able to explore 8 different dutch cities.
I got around completely on public transport + bikes to understand what it would be like without a car. I visited libraries, grocery stores, dog parks, bike shops, and schools to get a feel for daily life. I checked out cafes, food halls, bars, and restaurants. I spoke to as many people as possible about what they liked (and didn’t like) about living in the Netherlands.
This trip was one of the best decisions we made before our move, and I would highly recommend it!
If you’re serious about moving to the Netherlands, this scouting trip package is worth every penny!
HELLO, WE’RE TAN & ROD 👋
Since meeting in Hawaii almost 2 decades ago, we’ve tried to see as much of the world as possible. Life is short, and we believe travel is one of the best ways to spend your time and money!
Sadly, too many people put off experiencing this big, beautiful world because of the time and stress it takes to plan and book travel.
LET’S CHANGE THAT! 🗺️
Wherever (and however) you want to take your next trip, we’ll give our all to make it as enjoyable as possible.
