I started watching your videos at the end of 2021 as I was preparing to move to the Netherlands, honestly your vlogs were super helpful and I’m so glad I came across your vlogs again, you’re doing really amazing!
I started watching your videos back in 2021 when I was planning to move to Amsterdam and needed information on how to find a place etc. Thanks to you, I’ve also decided to rent in de Pijp and can’t agree more…best neighborhood! Your videos were always bringing me comfort as it felt I have this virtual friend in AMS that goes through the same experiences. I’ve even sent you an instagram message to see if you’d be up to meet for a coffee but then after couple of days delete it (chickened out 😅) When you’ve stopped posting I start rewatching the old videos, I think because it was reminding me of my first year in NL when I started to discover new places, people, create new memories. Also, wanted to say that I totally get what you’re saying about Dutch people being more relaxed and putting happiness over success. I’m also coming from a third country and grew up with the idea to be the best and “someone” (and the definition for that would be prestigious job in a big company and have everything figured it out by mid 20s). While Dutch people value their happiness and mental health; they are more open to change career path, learn smth new because they grew up in a society that supports that, rather than judge.
Oh my word! So crazy, it feels like just last year I watched the video of you on the plane on your way to the Netherlands with the thick black glasses waiting excited for the video update after landing! 🥹
Liewe Chrisina... so bly jy is gelukig, jou hele wese straal. Onthou altyd jy is n pragtige jong vrou, sonder dat jy weet inspireer jy baie jong mense, ek wens jou net mooi toe❤
The big 30kg bag 😢. I’m starting my life over, and my family always complains that I buy a lot of clothes, but they forget that I literally have nothing to start with.

A big thanks to you. Your story inspired me to move from Durban to Dublin (Deloitte Ireland). Can't believe I have been here for 3 years.
Leuke vlog!
I have watched all your videos and they are great, the ups and downs and the real life that you show, very inspirational. X

Wondering: why not moving to England (London) our Ireland (Dublin)??
Congrats on being an upcoming Dutch citizen ❤️🇳🇱👏🏽
Thank you!!

You speak Afrikaans?
That at least helps to understand Dutch language.
Wish you lots of luck!
