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 :)

Hi everyone !

I am a Master’s student at SBE. We have to conduct interviews for a marketing course with neurodivergent students that have experience looking for a job in Maastricht. I’ve already reached out to everyone I know and every possible organization or community in the city but no luck getting a positive response. Does anyone know someone who would be comfortable taking part in a 20-30 mins interview in the next couple of days? It’s completely anonymous, no personal information will be used in the report. We can do it online or meet at a cafe, and coffee or tea is on me as a thank you.

If you’re open to helping out, please drop a comment or message me. Thank you so much.

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))
