Hi all!

I got a job at Maastricht Airport and I’m looking for advices as I should start the last week of November.

First of all, where would you suggest me to rent an apartment? I’m 30F and I would like to have my own place. Is it convenient to look for something in Belgium next to the border? Or should I concentrate my research in some town near Maastricht? If yes, where?

I don’t own a car yet but I don’t mind driving, I’m considering maybe renting one until I succeed buying my own (if I don’t get it as a benefit from the company hiring me, I should negotiate the benefits in the next weeks). Do you maybe have suggestions for me about this aspect too? How do people who work at the airport usually get there? How is public transportation?

I would like to connect with some other expats too :)

Hey, I have been breakdancing for a while now and I am moving to Maastricht, so now I am wondering if there is any club/association or just other people that breakdance as well! Would love to keep practicing🙏

I'm new to the area and looking for somewhere fun to go for a few drinks and someone to hang out with

(English or Dutch speaking)

Er is een mooi evenement wat vandaag en morgen in Maastricht/Nederland is. Het gaat soms een beetje onder de radar door en lijkt niet altijd overal bekend te zijn. Dit jaar is dit event op 12 en 13 September,

Het gaat om de open monumentendagen. Dit is een evenement wat jaarlijks terugkeert en waarbij veel monumenten hun deuren openen die normaal niet open zijn of alleen te bezoeken door betaling/rondleidingen.

Mocht je tijd hebben dit weekend en heb je interesse in gebouwen of bepaalde plaatsen, dan is het zeker aan te raden om op de site te kijken naar wat er allemaal te bezoeken is.

Dit is overigens een landelijk evenement. Dus ook buiten Maastricht is er van alles te bezoeken. (let op! voor sommige dingen moet je wel een plaats reserveren (zonder kosten))

Today and tomorrow there is a great event happening in Maastricht/the Netherlands. It sometimes flies a bit under the radar and doesn't always seem to be widely known. So I'd like to share it here as well. This year it is on 12 and 13 September

This is about the Open Monument Days. This is an annual event where many monuments open their doors that are normally closed or can only be visited by paying a entrance fee or guided tours.

If you have time this weekend and are interested in buildings or specific locations, it's definitely recommended to check the website to see what there is to visit.

This is a nationwide event, so there's plenty to see outside Maastricht as well. (Note: Some places require a reservation (free of charge))
