The Expat
Udaya Vasepalli
With over 7 years of experience living in the Netherlands, from completing a Master’s in Engineering to setting up my own startup, I’ve faced and solved many of the everyday challenges that expats run into.
This isn’t about general relocation advice or standard tips for expats. It’s about answering your specific questions, the kind of things that aren’t always clear online or that locals take for granted, like:
Finding part-time jobs or navigating work life
Freelancing or starting a business in NL
Banking, insurance, and financial basics
Healthcare: registration, GP, and what to expect
Travel & transport: getting a driver’s license, public transport, or owning a car






Quick, practical guidance based on real experience, not theory.
My goal is to make things clearer, faster, and less stressful by sharing what I’ve already learned, or at least pointing you in the right direction.
Who this is for: Students, freelancers, or anyone facing local “blind spots”.
Trust & Disclaimer
I share personal insights from living, studying, working, and starting a business in the Netherlands. This is for general information only and not professional legal, tax, financial, or medical advice. For official guidance, please consult qualified professionals or authorities.
I do not promote or endorse any companies. By booking, you acknowledge this is personal opinion, not a substitute for professional advice.

What kind of questions can I ask?
You can ask about any specific problem or situation in expat life — paperwork, banking, work, travel, healthcare, or more. To keep the call effective, it’s best to focus on one main question per session.
