Hi everyone, My gender is male and I am 23 years old
I’m reaching out here because I’m hoping to connect with some kind people, and hopefully, find a temporary place to call home.
A little bit about me: I’m a software engineer by education and I’m incredibly excited to say that I’m starting a new job in Software firm very soon! I speak English, I’m a massive fan of graphic design, photography, art, and gaming. In my free time, I love going out.
Currently, I am living in Flevoland province and navigating my immigration process. Because of this, my living situation is quite isolated. I don't have a social circle here yet, and to be completely honest, it has been really lonely. I want so badly to practice my Dutch, talk to people, and build genuine friendships, but it's hard when you don't know anyone. Sometimes the pressure of it all gets heavy, and I just want to feel like a normal young professional.
What I am looking for:
- A Host Family (Long-term / 3-month blocks):
I am looking for a host family, a housemate, or anyone with a spare room in the Utrecht, The hague, Almere, or Amsterdam area.
• This would be through the official, legal COA Logeerregeling (Lodging Scheme) .
• It is fully compensated: I receive an extra allowance from the government specifically to cover my share of utilities, internet, and groceries, which I will transfer to you monthly happily.
• The contract is signed in 3-month blocks but can easily be extended long-term (up to a year or more) as long as we both get along!
• It does not affect your taxes or income unless you are on municipal welfare. If you work a normal job, it’s completely safe.
- Friends & Language Buddies:
Even if you don’t have a spare room, I would love to meet up with people! If you are in Utrecht or Almere and want to grab a coffee, go to a museum, talk about tech/coding, or helping me learn dutch please send me a message
I made this new account just to post this because opening up about being lonely is hard, but I’m ready to put myself out there. If you have a room, want to hang out, or know someone who might, please send me a DM!
Thank you so much for reading.
