We have lots of fun events so we can meet each other, make new friends, have a good laugh and enhance our experience in our marvellous city and its surroundings. We also organise events in Amsterdam and in Haarlemmermeer.
In addition to this Meetup Group and events we have a Facebook group where we also get in touch, discuss and share information and experiences. Visit also our Parents & Kids, Haarlemmermeer and Housing Facebook group or our Instagram page.
