This is probably the most asked question I've received since we moved back to The Netherlands.
Sure, I get it; Ibiza is a dream destination with amazing beaches, crystal clear water, beautiful nature and lots of entertainment to offer during the season. Who would ever move away from that, right?
Well, we did...
And to be honest, now that we're slowly settling into our new life in The Netherlands, I'm happy we made that decision!
Who would have thought that I would be able to make peace with that drastic change, after calling Ibiza my home for more than a decade?
I certainly didn't see that coming!
Some years ago we visited Eindhoven for the first time and I knew back then I was going to live here at some point, but couldn't quite understand why! We searched around the area for places where we could see ourselves living, but it wasn't the time yet.
Fast forward to our new life in the south of The Netherlands, I totally understand why we had to move away from Ibiza and start a new chapter here in Eindhoven as a family.
Why Eindhoven?
That's certainly a good question and one that we've been asking ourselves also for a very long time...
But the main reason wasn't the specific location to be honest, because it had to do with the opportunities that this city can give us as a family.
Ibiza is great when you're single or in a couple, but when your children start to grow and their needs for development start to change, you just need to move with that... And we made a pact as a family that we will always move when we feel it's necessary for our growth.
So here we are in Eindhoven!
None of us have any history here, there's a huge international community and most importantly: we can offer our daughter the education that she needs at the moment.
We're excited to keep discovering the city of lights!
