• How long are you in NL?
  Moved here in April 07.
• What do you like the most about working in Holland, and specifically in the area of Rotterdam?
  Personally, I find everything very accessable, compared to the UK, public transport is a dream!! Places are so close to visit, the seaside half an hour, or for a complete contrast across to Arnhem in just a few hours. So far, most Dutch people are very friendly and willing to help.
  Rotterdam offers great shopping, food and a very lively nightlife.
• What do you like the most about working for Tellus?
  The variety, international people with stories to share and tell, Tellus' great working environment
• What do you recommend to people who will start working in Holland?
  Do your back ground work early, get registered with the Gemeente and get your SOFI number as a top priority. Everything else falls into place from here.
