Expat experience

Since August 2009

Utrecht, Netherlands

I moved to be with my boyfriend.

I love to ride my bike everywhere. Its so bike friendly that you don't have to worry about cars not seeing you. I also love Sinterklaas day, Carnaval, stroopwafels, windmills when they are milling, and my boyfriend!

Jul 2007 - Aug 2009

Michigan, USA

I grew up here but moved back to the area from D.C.

I got to spend time with my family more. I also reconnected with a lot of old friends which was great! Its very calm place to live after being in a big city for 7 years. It has some cute shops in the downtown area and great pubs for a good night out with friends. Wonderful activities in the park during the summer months.

Not much for a single woman in her thirties to do. Most people are settled down by then whereas in a bigger city they are single longer.
