Deciding to move to a new country is a big decision, both countries are similar in some ways but very different in others.

I feel like I get this question a lot and here is a brief overview on both countries. I think both options are good but the Netherlands is more expensive, but has more English speakers.

    I like how you look like the flag of the Netherlands, Red on top, white in the middle and the blue shirt. nice subtle touch!

    I've lived in Germany and I now live in The Netherlands, and I much prefer The Netherlands! I love travelling by bike, and all main cities are very easy to reach, if you live in the South-West. The landscape is beautiful, there is a lot of green. People are super friendly and sincere, it is easy to make friends and everyone speaks English! They do eat Hagelslag, but it is a minor inconvenience lol 🇳🇱❤️
  • As a German who lived in the Netherlands for her university studies, I can second everything. Really spot on! If the Netherlands had mountains, I'd probably move back there but as a hiking enthusiast, Germany wins 😅 I do miss the more international lifestyle in the Netherlands. Even though I speak Dutch, being a foreigner and speaking English always seemed a lot easier than die foreigners in Germany.

    As a German who lived in the Netherlands for >12 years I fully agree with your comments and I would highly recommend the Netherlands (for many reasons)
  • NL and DE both have their pros and cons. In many ways NL should be a role model, f.e. payment and working environment for hospitals etc., bicycle friendliness, ... saying this as a German
  • @jjijq
    I prefer the Netherlands but they are both great places to live 🇳🇱🇩🇪

    I can not describe how much LOVE your videos! You are my favourite youtuber ever since I found your channel 4 months ago. Great job Erika! <3
  • Netherlands is better. As a foreigner I felt more accepted than in Germany. I find it very hard to make friends here. The only thing that keeps me here is the fact that my ex is German and I can not leave the country with my children who are his. German law prevents it. In Holland I made friends mich more easily and found it much easier to fit in.
  • @Sam-mh4mc
    this is exactly what I needed to know. thank youuuu so much. I am planning to study in either of the places next year
  • Love your videos. Your witty humor is very entertaining. Keep it up.
  • For us, people from South America, both are great countries but with a great cultural shock as well
  • @Zorriel
    your eyeliner is so unique !! I love it
  • Actually I feel in the Netherlands getting a career job without knowing Dutch is very possible. I have been working with many large Dutch companies, and English was often the primary language used. Many of my colleagues came from all over the world, and most of them didn’t speak Dutch. In Germany this is a lot harder, except if you work in IT for example. My neighbor is German and works in Hamburg, and has many English speaking colleagues. So it is not impossible, but a bit harder than here in the Netherlands.
  • I was surprised by the snippets from Koblenz (and Trier and Cologne). I hope you enjoyed your visit (I see you did a whole video on it. Will watch it now). 🙂
