Community
Enjoying your new life in the Netherlands is easier when you connect with other expats.
Our Slack community is where expats, locals, and honorary Dutchies connect, share tips, and make plans to explore their new home below sea level.
What You’ll Find in the Community
- Local intel: Housing tips, tax hacks, and how to survive your first King’s Day.
- Offbeat recommendations: Hidden bars, weird museums, festivals you’ve never heard of.
- Meetups: From casual museum trips to full-on weekend adventures.
- Support: Parenting in NL, language learning, or just somewhere to ask “Is this normal?”
New to Slack? Here’s the Short Version
Slack is a free app (desktop + mobile) that works like a private group chat, but way more organized.
Instead of one endless feed, conversations live in channels for specific topics — so you can hang out where it’s relevant to you.
