Meet Dutch Landing
I've been exactly where you are — excited, overwhelmed, and full of questions. That's why I do this.
Erik Olsen, PhD:
Erik is a dual American-Dutch citizen who moved to the Netherlands 19 years ago for grad school—and never looked back. From navigating housing and healthcare to building a family and career, Erik has lived the expat experience inside and out. With a background in Dutch universities, the local labor market and a deep understanding of what Americans face when relocating, he founded Dutch Landing to guide others through that same journey—with clarity and confidence.
What Americans Say About Dutch Landing
- Thomas B., (Savannah → Amsterdam)
“I came to Erik to understand my options and he presented a clear plan for my international move. He saved me a lot of time and confusion!”
- Sarah & David (San Francisco → Utrecht)
“Erik’s advice saved us hours of frustration at the gemeente. We felt so much more confident making the move!”
- John and Vikki P. (Chicago → Utrecht)
"We relocated from Chicago with two kids under 10 and had no idea where to start. Erik walked us through everything — schools, health insurance, even which type of neighborhood would work best for our lifestyle. Three months in, we feel completely at home in Utrecht.”
Melissa R., (New York → The Hague)
"I'd already moved before finding DutchLanding and was drowning in bureaucracy — no DigiD, no BSN, no clue. Erik got me unstuck fast. His step-by-step approach turned weeks of stress into a few manageable afternoons."
- James W., (Boston → Leiden)
"As a grad student coming to Leiden, I thought I could figure it all out myself. I couldn't. Erik's knowledge of the university system, housing near campus, and Dutch healthcare made my transition genuinely enjoyable instead of exhausting."
- Danielle K., HR Manager, Seattle-based tech firm
"We hired DutchLanding to support three employees relocating from our Seattle office. The onboarding was smooth, our staff felt supported, and we didn't have to manage a single municipality appointment ourselves. We'll be using Erik again."
