I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien, I’m an American in the Netherlands

Have you checked out this month's Interview With A Blogger or Featured Blog? The interview is with Tamahome Jenkins, blogger and writer and the Featured Blog is Directory Journal’s Internet Marketing, Social Media and SEO Blog.

When looking at moving abroad, away from your home country, depending on who you ask, you will either be greeted with a reply of dread and doom or one of extreme excitement and interest.  Some people take to moving away like a duck to water, whilst others want nothing more than to be within walking distance of Mum, Dad, Uncle Bill and second cousin Jake.

If you fall into the latter category and think that moving abroad can be a particularly daunting experience, what can help is knowing people who come from a similar background to you reporting and providing information on the considerable task that you are about to carry out.

Clogs and Tulips is the blog of Tiffany Jansen, an American, originally from Maryland, USA.  In short, Tiffany met a Dutchman in 2007, fell in love, got married and moved back to his homeland where they have lived happily ever since.

Understanding the importance of helping fellow expats (or wannabe’ expats), Tiffany set up Clogs and Tulips to not only provide information on various aspects of Dutch life, but also to act as a gathering place for those who have moved, or want to move, to Holland (or the Netherlands in general).

As someone who has no immediate plans to move away from the UK, you might think that this blog would be of no relevance to me.  However, it is a particularly interesting blog to read through for anyone, as Tiffany details a range of different points on her new wedded life with a Dutchman.
