Introduction

Hi, I've just arrived in Amsterdam and am trying to settle in and meet some new friends.

Where are you from originally? Where else have you lived?

I come from Canada (near Toronto) but have been living in the UK for the last 12 years. I've also lived in Australia, Austria and Germany.

What brought you to Amsterdam/The Netherlands? How long have you been living here?

I really want to learn a European language and have failed miserably with German and French! I also fell in love with Amsterdam the first time I came here 15 years ago and always thought I would come back and here I am!

What types of events are you most interested in?

Maybe trying new sports, definitely picnics and BBQs, new restaurants, cafes etc - anything relatively inexpensive at this stage!

What times are best for you? Weekdays, weekends, nights, days, etc.?

I'm not working at the moment so anytime is good for me.

  • Hi Joyce, thanks for the greeting! Would love to chat further with you about NLP at a future meetup gathering. I know a few people who are using NLP here in Amsterdam, but there's not such a large international NLP-scene here, maybe the Dutch NLPers are more active in getting together though. Sarah.

  • Hi Joyce,

    Ik vond het ook leuk jou ontmoet te hebben. Hopelijk hebben we volgende keer wat meer tijd om te praten!
    Groetjes,
    Milou

  • Hi Joyce, I need to reschedule this wild weed walk... I will post another date as soon as I have one set, and I hope it will work for you. Do you live close by Beatrix Park? For you, are there any days of the week that are better than others for a walk like this? Thanks, Jennie

  • Hi Joyce, great that you and a friend would like to come along! Of course I can bring the plants at the time. Could you let me know what you would like and I'll set them aside for you. If you need them before let me know.

  • Hi Joyce, nice to meet you this morning. The plant to help is called Plantain, especially Ribwort. here's a post I wrote about it... http://urbanherbology.org/2012/04/22/...
    We found lots of plants today, here's a little link... http://urbanherbology.org/?p=3103&...
    I was very pleased with the carrot :)
    See you soon,
    Lynn

  • Hi Joyce, thanks for signing up for my walk! There was a minor mistake - the walk will be on Sunday the 20th, not the 21st of May. Is that still good for you? Will love to have you with us and to hear what you have to share about herbs and nutrition - great!

  • Welcome to Amsterdam Urban Herbology meetup group! We really look forward to meeting you very soon. If you are into photographing and spotting herbs you may like to get involved with the 365 Frankendael project? Otherwise hopefully we'll see you for some foraging or similar another time! Lovely that you have already RSVP'd for Jenny's weed walk in May :) Lynn & Jenny

  • Ha, thanks Joyce. See you tomorrow!

  • Hi Joyce, jammer dat het je niet lukt om er vanavond bij te zijn. Had je graag irl gesproken. We organiseren iedere laatste vrijdag van de maand een borrel in telkens weer een andere locatie in Amsterdam. Hopelijk lukt het de volgende keer, een fijn weekend! Groet, Lexia Emerenciana | www.ExpatBuddy.nl

  • Hi Joyce, it's 21:50 now and we're having fun at the Proeflokaal De Prael with a nice group of Dutch Language Meetup Group members. Please come over here if you can. We're looking foward to see you.
