@budgettoholland: It’s the little things I notice every day, the kindness from strangers, older people stopping to talk to my kids, someone giving them a little treat, or people being understanding when you’re traveling with children. I’m not saying people in the USA aren’t kind. I just didn’t realize how much those little moments of community would mean to me as a parent until I experienced them here. Maybe this is what people mean when they say, “It takes a village.” 🥹 Just sharing my personal experience as an American raising kids in the Netherlands. 🇺🇸➡️🇳🇱#netherland #lifeinthenetherlands #movingabroadjourney #leiden #netherlandslifestyle
I was thinking it was normal, when my kids were younger we go to the market on Saturdays, the got someone by every market stall: a piece of a cookie or bread, a piece of fish, a little box of raisins, a strawberry, some cheese and in the supermarket there is always a box whit fruit for the children banana, apples, pear, small oranges.

and yes I live in Leiderdorp right next to it. so I know Leije gives you more of a village feeling than a city and because of the different universities. we are not scared of different nationalities. just enjoy 😉 😊
