Let’s Talk – One-to-One Expat Support

### 🤍 What to expect

This is a one-to-one, informal conversation offering a listening ear and space to talk through expat life in the Netherlands — from integration and work culture to relationships, homesickness, or relocation questions.
The conversation is relaxed, supportive, and guided by your needs on the day.

Please note: The first meeting is an online introductory call. This allows us to get to know each other briefly, align expectations, and confirm whether this conversation style and focus are the right fit before meeting in person.

### 🗣️ What we can talk about

• Life in the Netherlands and cultural adjustment
• Homesickness and identity shifts
• Dutch work culture and work–life balance
• Relationships, friendships, and loneliness
• Relocation experiences and settling-in questions

You’re welcome to talk, ask questions, or simply reflect — there’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with.

### 🧭 How this works

• This is a one-to-one conversation with the host
• Duration: 30-45 minutes
• Format: online - relaxed and informal

### 🧭 Shared expectations & boundaries

• This is informal support, not therapy, counselling, or coaching
• Advice may be shared from personal and professional experience, but it’s not therapeutic, medical, or legal advice
• This is not a crisis support service
• Mutual respect is essential at all times — discriminatory, aggressive, or inappropriate behaviour won’t be tolerated
• Confidentiality is respected
• You’re free to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with

These boundaries help keep the space safe, respectful, and grounded.
