About us

Founded in 2011 by 8 expats and one Dutch guy after poker sessions in the center of Amsterdam. It was hard to get solid information for us about how to move and settle in the Netherlands in those days even more then now. We decided to put our heads together and started this guide, first on paper and later online.
