WE'RE MOVING TO AMSTERDAM!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- Time for a little update: We've been super busy the last few months prepping for our move to Amsterdam. Our landlords in Toronto decided to sell their house, in which our apartment was, so we had to leave this gem and saw no reason to stay in Toronto anymore.
So we're heading back to Europe and going to make Amsterdam our new home! Not the best timing with the pandemic, so there will be many extra steps. But we're excited to start a new chapter in the Netherlands and to be back in Europe again soon!
We also included an overview/checklist of all the steps you need to take/consider when making a move abroad.
Next up will be our moving vlog - stay tuned!
Thanks for watching!
Love,
Alexis and Lilian

I suspect you've already included this, but your RUclips channel seems to be more than enough proof of the two of you being in a long term relationship.:) Safe packing and travels.
As an American who moved to Amsterdam 10 years ago, watching this video reminded me of all the mixed emotions I felt when I moved across the Atlantic. This is a very warm, welcoming city (even during a pandemic) and I know you'll find it to be a wonderful place to live. I wish you both the very best on your journey.
"warm"? I assume you don't mean that in the literal sense :-)
omg no waaaay! I live in amsterdam. I moved during the pandemic too from miami for grad school. I'm happy to provide any tips if yall could use any help
Yay welcome to Europe!
omg welcome to my beautiful home town!! you'll love it here xx
*edit, I thought I might give you some tips: while people really appreciate it if you can say a few easy words in Dutch, it's a super international city and most people will speak English to you. Also job wise it's totally possible to find a job here without knowing Dutch. As housing is really expensive here I would suggest looking for something in the suburbs/just outside the city center, as public transportation is great and the city is small enough to reach almost everything by bike aswell. The apartments in the city center are overpriced and you live among the tourists, so for the same price you can have a nicer, bigger place a bit further away. Living close to Sloterplas is recommendable! Wishing you lots of luck with the move!!:))
Hi!! I’m also planning on moving there in a bit and I’m starting to check out the housing market. Why do you recommend Sloterplas specifically ?
@@helenemeyerhoff6965 heey! personally I live in the sloterplas area & I really like that it's close enough to the city (a few minutes by public transport or bike) yet it's very calm in the area and there is more greenery & nature, the sloterplas itself is a lake which is beautiful in warmer months. I like the feeling of having a buzzing social life & then coming home to a calm area where you hear birds singing in the morning:) it's also cheaper than the city center
@@maddistories it sounds wonderful! I’m so excited to be there soon (hopefully) haha, thank you for the info :) I’ll reply here again when I made it to Amsterdam, how about that!
@@helenemeyerhoff6965 sounds great!! good luck with your move xx
I made it here!! Lmk if you want to hang out some time :) x
Yay! Welcome to the Netherlands! If you guys need a tour let me know 😜😘
Miso is adorable ❣️ I brought my big dog on an 11hour nonstop flight to Europe & wrote a note to the pilot letting him know my dog was in the hold and to please adjust the temperature in the hold. He was so nice that he made an announcement over the intercom that he would take good care of my dog. Just a thought for you !
It's so funny for a dutch person to hear you pronounce dutch sentences ahaha. Hope you have a great time here in the Netherlands. I love watching your videos! Veel success met verhuizen (good luck with the move)
Yaaaayyyy! I’m Italian and I lived very close to Amsterdam for almost 5 years. I loved my time in the NL. I recently relocated to Italy (but in a different region than where I grew up, for work reasons). Some time ago I messaged you guys when you shared a list of pros and cons about different cities/countries and I gave you some tips on nightlife, techno clubs, work environment etc in the NL. I’m happy to see you decided to move there, I hope (and think!) you’ll love it. When it’s safe to do so, I definitely recommend to go clubbing in Shelter. Sadly De School shut down due to their financial struggles during the pandemic, but hopefully Shelter will survive this time! Best of luck!!!
Alexis and Lillian,
Toronto will miss you. Your lives together are a constant loving adventure.
Please continue your vlogs.
Lillian please continue writing your book. The reading at Buddies will need to be virtual.
Wishing you both all the love and joy life brings.
Stephanie
So excited to see you guys moving to Amsterdam!
You're both so inspiring. May everything go as smooth as possible from here on out.
Wishing you the best during your moves! When the difficulties are behind you, the adventures begin!
Euch auf euren ständigen Streifzügen durch die Welt zu folgen ist ausgesprochen aufregend. Wir fiebern mit! Und halten auch dieses Mal den Atem an. Viel Glück! Und bis zum nächsten Ort!
I wish you lots of luck moving! Ik wens jullie veel plezier en geluk in Amsterdam :)
Sending you two nothing but positive traveling/moving vibes your way😊❤
Welcome to our beautiful country. I'll hope the moving will all go well. And I'm wishing you both all the luck in your new home in Amsterdam.
Oh my. I really wish all the best in travel and that you two will get where you need to be! Keep us updated whenever is best or when stress levels are low 😅
All the best in AMS. So good to hear you bring Miso with you.
happy travels!! I moved from the US to Amsterdam during the pandemic and it was smooth sailing after I finally found a place to stay!! Embrace the chaos of the housing market... sometimes it's good to stay in a temporary place for a few months to scout out a nice place because soo many places become available rapidly. The turnover is insane... Good luck!!
welcome to Europe ! I hope you like it :)
This is so exciting, nonetheless. The best of luck with all your endeavours! Amsterdam will be wonderful👏
Haha so fun watching this ! I lived in the Netherlands till I was 12 I now live in France , it’s been 7 years already ! But Amsterdam is so beautiful I’m sure you’ll have a great time there
O M G I felt so happy when I just saw this! Live near Amsterdam and have lived there, you'll love it!
Really love your videos so funny, filled with positivity and possibilities. Wish you guys well and a great move to Amsterdam!!
Sweet! My wife and I visited Amsterdam a few summers ago and fell in love with it. I am also into cycling, so Amsterdam was like a dream for me. We bicycled everywhere for shopping, sightseeing, and general transportation, and everybody is very respectful of bicyclists there. I hope that you two love it there! Cheers!
I really liked this apartment. Twas beautiful. Sorry to see you go through so much trouble.
Good luck for your future. I hope everything works out for you and your lil puppy.
You two move around like the wind. Is your favorite song on the road again, lol. wishing you all the best with your move and very pleased your pooch is going with you. Looking forward to your postings along your journey
Sending you the best of luck and peace for this journey!! And an early welcome to the Netherlands!! :D
Wow good luck with the move!! Sounds like a stressful but exciting endeavor! Tiny cactus says you can do the thing!
Omg how exciting!! I’m pretty sure you’ll love it here in Amsterdam. Hopefully we’ll get out of lockdown and curfew in May/June.
Good luck! Always enjoy your adventures!
YAY, heel veel plezier in Amsterdam!
Good luck with learning dutch.
Hey I'm from Switzerland and just found your channel! Love your vibezz, and it's funny, because I've been waiting to move to Toronto for a YEAR because I'm a UofT student! I finally got my Canadian passport and can't wait to make the move in the fall.
Wishing you so much joy in Amsterdam it's BEAUTIFUL and happy to be a new subscriber:)
Best of luck with your new adventure. I’d say your RUclips channel is extensive proof of your relationship should anyone question it... I have lived in Rotterdam for 13 years and am impressed with your pronunciation!
Aaah you're moving to my country!!! So fun to hear you practice some Dutch
Good luck to you guys . Be safe 💜
This is so exciting! :) I also moved during the pandemic, several times for similar reasons (and so much time spend in quarantine...). I can totally relate to the mixed feelings - I'm so excited to be where I am right now with my partner but it feels strange with the pandemic still going on and not being able to meet people! If you're ever headed South towards Munich let me know and I'd be very happy to show you around / give travel tips :)
AM is so cool, happy for u, guys) good luck and take care!
Best of luck, ladies 🙏🏼💜🦄🦄🦄
Big time fan! Love you 2 so much and good luck moving to the unknown!
Good luck!!! Lots of work ahead.
Omg how awesome! I’m also moving to the Netherlands soon in future to live with my boyfriend who is Dutch. But I would seriously love to meet you guys ❤️ Amsterdam is amazing. I lived there as an au pair in 2015 and fell in love with the city.
Good luck guys , welcome to Netherlands 🤞
Ohhhh you will love Amsterdam. No need to speak Dutch, super chilled and beautiful city with a great vibe. And your favourite coffee shop will mean something totally different when you get your bearings 😉 good luck with the move!
So happy for you, girls!!!!
As an army Brad, I have lost count of the Times I've moved. But Amsterdam is a beautiful city, Best of luck
Good luck guys!!!
So nice that you are moving to the country I'm from!! Veel plezier hier :)
Well hope everything is going to be okay and stay safe, and good luck and hope all goes well and loved and enjoyed watching this video and thank you for sharing this video
So I'm currently trying to close the distance with my partner during quarantine... while I knew a lot of what you were talking about because obviously I'm going through a similar situation right now, I really appreciated the sublet tip because we've been worried about finding housing right away. One of my biggest concerns and obstacles has been the fact that I have a dog (and haven't started the crate training process yet) ... so really this video was just a whole lot of reassurance for me that it CAN work, and I'm really grateful you put this out.
I had randomly found your channel when I was considering moving to Berlin (this was like a year ago) and now I'll be moving to Amsterdam so I found your channel again! 😱
I can relate so much to your thoughts! All the best! Hope it all goes smoothly! I've subscribed and we'll be learning from your process ☺️
Haha no way! Seems like we have the same taste in cities haha. All the best for your move, maybe we'll see each other around ;)
Hope all goes smoothly on your new and exciting journey! Love the pup!❤️ Btw, I lived and worked in Amsterdam for a year 33 years ago...good luck practicing your Dutch; most natives insisted on practicing their English!🤣
My partner and me are moving to Amsterdam from Berlin in May and although I am super excited, it is still difficult for me to embrace such a change. Seeing you moving there from Toronto and being quite calm about it helped a lot. Thanks!
Exciting! We're definitely also nervous but it's always exciting to start over new - best of luck with the move, maybe we'll cross paths in Amsterdam :)
I am also moving this summer with my boyfriend but from the uk! Also struggling with embracing the change it will be exciting to see how it all goes for you!
Omg I am dutch. This is so much fun!❤
We moved from Johannesburg to Amsterdam coming up 2 years soon! Love it here.
Hoping Miso will be ok. Good luck I'm sure you won't regret it. People in Amsterdam are very laid back I'm sure they'll help you find a place 👍👍💖💖🇬🇧 🇬🇧
This is so exciting! You both have been such an integral part of me coming out to myself and to others,and with finally dating women. I now am very happily dating the most amazing woman :) Just shared your videos with her recently. She can give you some tips on how to find cheaper accommodation in Ams too (: Very very happy to see that you're both going to be right here in the Netherlands where we are :) I love the country and I'm sure you will too ♥️
All the best 😍💕 guys...
I wish U girls all the best of luck with everything in the new city ☺️
I’ve always wanted to go to Amsterdam! I have a friend who lives there :)) I’ve moved a lot too. From the US, to Singapore to Vancouver and now I’m in Germany. I really understand that feeling of being excited and looking forward to a new playground to explore. After i finish my degree I want to move to South Korea so I’m learning Korean right now. I’m sure you guys will love Amsterdam for all the reasons you listed. :))
I loove the Netherlands, the Dutch language, the culture...this is so exciting to vicariously be a part of! Best wishes
You guys Amsterdam....... wau wau wau I love this city soooo much - have a safe trip and have a great start in Amsterdam good luck and all the best... grüsse aus Germany

Oooooh that is so exciting! Wishing you all the best luck finding a place! If you like - I am also currently learning Dutch (native German) but have been for some while so I am kinda advanced, we could connect if you two have any questions :)
All the best with the move. I love Amsterdam ❤️ can't believe your being thrown out right now.....idiots!!! Sometimes these things happen so better things can unfold. You have each other and that means alot 🙏💚
You wanted to vlog right? That looks like a whole Hollywood movie in the making...😎 Good fairings and a following sea!
Welcome!
good luck!!!
Good luck with the move! As an ex-Torontonian myself, now in Europe, I see it as a no-brainer 😂 but it do take nerve to do it DURING a pandemic.
I live in Toronto and I want to move 😭
@@wl415 I'm lucky in that my family is from Spain so I have a European passport. I'm so grateful for that.
haha it's true. another ex-Torontonian here, Im moving to The Hague in 2 weeks and can't wait. West Europe is just so awesome.
Veel succes, dames!
Love u guys❤️
Enjoy Amsterdam!!!! 😇🙏💖❤️💕💋🎊🎉
I am a little bit curious about how you feel/felt in the past - about moving to new cities where you maybe don’t have any friends and just being the two of you? Your thoughts and feelings about that part of moving to a new city, and also having your families in two different places? Me and my girlfriend are planning on where to live in Sweden, my family and friends are in Malmö, her family and some friends in Gothenburg and we both have some good friends in Stockholm (and the most job possibilities for me) but it is sooo hard to decide? 😅 without missing out on any of these parts. Then I see this and get so inspired by you and your positive attitude!!!
Good luck girls :)
Omg so nice! Amsterdam is such a nice place, I live in the Netherlands! Veel plezier in Amsterdam!!! The best serie you two must watch is Anne+ on Netflix! (: (can you learn a little bit Dutch)
Wow! We’re moving to Brussels! So close!
I love all of your moves around the world because i can so relate wanting to live in 80 different places lol
Anyway Alexis' laugh in the thumbnail is beautiful
Good luck.
Wtg on moving to some place else ladies. Good luck with everything, I hope it goes alright. Hugs. I Love you both, I really like Alexis's hair. Lilians hair is great also :) :) :) :) :D :X Xxxxxxx
