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 YouTube 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.

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 <3 good luck, its such a beautiful city. Also idk when y’all plan to move but we have been on lockdown with a curfew for months now. It’s expected once more ppl are vaccinated in the summer measures will start being loosened. I’m sure y’all already know this just wanted to lend the info just in case

Yay welcome to Europe! <3

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!!:))

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 !

Yay! Welcome to the Netherlands! If you guys need a tour let me know 😜😘

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)

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!

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

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.

Sending you two nothing but positive traveling/moving vibes your way😊❤

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 😅

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!!
