the dutch diary

I document my Dutch adventures and experiences on my blog. Enjoy!

About Me​

I arrived in the Netherlands on a sunny (yet chilly) day back in 2020, with little to no knowledge about the country.
From researching mortgages to navigating travel options within the Netherlands, from getting a Leap Card to earning my driver’s license—I’ve spent countless hours figuring it all out.
I created The Dutch Diary so you can have a smoother, easier journey than I did.
