What your first month in The Netherlands really looks like!
Relocating to the Netherlands should be an exciting new chapter. But between finding housing, navigating unfamiliar systems and adjusting to a new culture, that first month can feel anything but smooth.
One of the biggest time-sinks for newly arrived expats
Setting up utilities like electricity, internet, mobile and insurance. Usually in Dutch, often with long wait times and confusing paperwork.
At PartnerPete we believe getting connected should not slow you down.
Here is what life looks like before and after using PartnerPete,
