As I write this, I am looking out of the office window at my new view (the Amsterdam Arena where the Dutch football team Ajax play). Everything is still brand new to me – I only recently moved in to my new apartment. However, it feels like ages ago that the initial conversations began about me moving to Amsterdam and to be honest they were so easy and uncomplicated that I ca...
