I guess I should start by explaining the name of the blog... "Je ben eine loco expat". It means "I am a crazy expat" using words from French, Dutch, German, and Spanish respectively. I have had the good fortune to visit a country where each language is spoken and have even learned enough of each to be dangerous.
Let me be clear... I am only creating this blog to prove to my friend Karen and my husband Stephen that I am not pithy enough to actually support a blog. 'Sides... so many others blog about their adventures overseas, what more could I possibly add, right?
Be that as it may... after living my entire life (just a smidge over 50 years) within a 100 mile radius of where I was born I sold the house I had owned for over 14 years, sold/donated/tossed most everything I owned, shipped the rest, said an extremely tearful goodbye to my sons (23 and 19 at the time of my departure) and joined my husband in The Netherlands where he had already relocated 5 months prior.
My goal is to write about stupid stuff I see/say/do as an expat and as a human, as well as interesting tidbits I've noticed about The Netherlands from an outsider's perspective. I'm extremely fluent in sarcasm, so you will have to figure out if I'm being serious or not. Won't that be fun!!! 😈
Welkom!
