Expat Community: Q&A with Omar Ghaleb

So, where did you move from Omar?

I moved from Groningen to Amsterdam

What made you decide to move to the Netherlands? 

I had a work opportunity and decided to move. 

How did you find the transition to living in a foreign country? 

It was quite easy given that I’ve been preparing for it for a long time.

What do you find typically Dutch? 

Bitterballen!

What has been the best part of your move?

I would say that the best part has been moving to a larger city with a lot of people and a bigger international environment.

What has been the hardest aspect of your expat experience so far? 

I would say creating social circles after finishing my university years has been the hardest aspect. 

What would you have done differently? 

I would’ve moved from Groningen to Amsterdam earlier.
