Moved to The Netherlands!

It's been seven years since I did my last post in this blog. It's a completely different world now! At least for me many things happened in between: I changed my job, got my engineering degree, got married and moved to The Netherlands!

The last topic is precisely what I want to talk about it in this post.

I'm gonna tell you a little bit of our history on why this movement.

A few years ago, we had the chance to buy really cheap flights and travel to Europe. Since we're from Argentina it was something we really like to do and one of a kind opportunity. I have to give the credits for this to my wonderful wife Roberta because she was the one pushing to find the tickets. I only said the words "buy them" while taking a bus to Buenos Aires during a business trip. We had to make the purchase within a few hours, not much time to decide!

One of the places we stayed at that time was Amsterdam. The moment we arrived at the city centre was a turning point for us. We looked at each other to say:

We have to live here one day!

Fast forwarding into recent days, we were struggling about what are we supposed to do with our life. Because we knew we wanted to live abroad and we also had a relocation to Chile that got stuck in between bureaucracy and covid restrictions... For that we had the feeling that we were going nowhere...

Enjoying the afternoon

One day my wife found a job posting in Linkedin about a company that offered relocation to The Netherlands. This awesome company is called WAES 😉. So I decided to give it a shot. I posted my resume and waited for the recruitment process.

After a few days I got a message requesting for a videocall, which of course I replied. After that nice interview, a coding challenge and a technical interview I was offered a contract with a relocation package for me and my wife! We couldn't believe it!!! Our dream was finally becoming a reality!

So since about a month ago we're happily living in The Netherlands!👫

That's it for now so stay tuned! I will create new posts about living here and the whole process I had to go through!

See you soon! Hope in less than seven years... 😜
