Leaving the Netherlands. Need to file a US tax extension which is pain. My partner got the "ghosted at the border" issue resolved. An HR person made a mistake but it got fixed. We can move forward with relocation in Canada. That was an anxiety producing 5 days!
Sad that the Netherlands was not for us. Housing crisis + academic burnout + just not fitting in + no job = move. I am recording my bike rides with a go pro knock off to remember the lovely biking infrastructure and nature. As well as the insanity of biking rush hour.
I did help our friends move from the US to down the street. They are a gay couple and finally feel safe here. That means alot to me as there are no better people I know than them and they deserve peace and happiness.
Sorry to hear you didn't feel at home in NL but honestly I completely understand. Best of luck with the move!
I hope you find what you're looking for here in Canada, welcome! Housing crisis is in full swing here as well but some provinces have it worst than others so do careful about that.
It's good to hear that you are making moves to better your life. I know you will find many happy days ahead. Take care.
