We lived in Spain when Vil was hired to join the Oracle Digital Team in Amsterdam and in the beginning, all sounded very well. A super job, a nice town and a good future inside a well-known company. Hired as a Digital Sales Consultant, it sounded like the job of his dreams, but unfortunately, it turned out that he had a week’s long ordeal in front of him. Everything went to shit and finally, he was informed that Oracle will terminate his working contract, effective immediately.

Indy’s BLOG – Guest House Amsterdam

They put us in a wonderful, high standard, totally overpriced guest house, but we need to buy the toilet paper ourselves. The cutlery, plates and cups are the cheapest IKEA one and the ONE pot, the ONE pan are even cheaper supermarket stuff. Fully service is something different.

And they paid an unbelievable 150.- Euro a day to the rental agency.

In a retrospective it was completely nonsense to put us in such a house. We didn’t wanted that and the relocation agency was aware of it. We explicitly asked for a small place with dog, nothing else. Come on, we slept the last weeks on the floor of a Yoga Studio. We don’t need that…. We need food, money for the ticket and medicine.

Indy’s BLOG – A nice trip and finally we arrived

This morning at 06:30 we woke up, arranged ourselves, cleared our stuff and went to the train to go to the airport. No coffee with Teresa and no walk with Jack. Sooooo, sad! All our life fits in three boxes and we are on the move.

First good thing for today: Vil just needed one journey on his T-10 ticket to go from Badalona to Barcelona Airport. The whole journey was only ONE journey in my T-10 ticket, priced 99,5 Cent. 🙂

We arrived at the airport and there was a huge queue at the KLM check in counter. Vil wondered where to drop me and went directly to the lady from priority boarding, asking for help where to drop me and she told Vil, that she would be happy to check us in. Second good thing for today: “Now we are priority. Thank you nice lady from KLM!” We don’t need to need to wait in the queue.

Brilliant. We saved around one hour standing and plenty of stress for me and the luck for our journey didn’t finished yet!

There’s more to come….. 

The nice lady did all the paperwork and after thirty minutes it was time to say “Goodbye to Vil!”, but not before he drugged me with the herbal medicine he bought at the Vet, more about that later.

And there is another good thing for today:

Vil got priority boarding in the plane as well.

Plenty of legroom for him! Sweet!

I needed to travel in my box. It was a bit scary, cold and loud, but all no problem, because Vil got some herbs from the vet for me.

“The medicine worked quite well and I traveled 15 kilometers high to Amsterdam!” – Indy

We took a taxi and finally arrived in our new home in Amsterdam.

There I made already some friends in the shop under our flat and (good thing number three) Vil got a free coffee from Nike, the nice lady at the counter.

We feel really welcome.

Thank you.

Good thing number four: “THE FLAT IS AWESOME!”

Indy’s BLOG – Amsterdam here we come…

Hello to all our friends and followers,

Vil will start his job at the 15.th next month and until then we have plenty of things to arrange. Most important we need a place somewhere in the Netherlands, Spain or France to wait until our flat is ready.

Currently, we are still in Badalona, a big thank you Theresa, Jack and Miquel, but we can’t stay here forever. We are totally happy and grateful that they offered us food and shelter, but now it’s time to leave. 🙁

All is sorted and the “good life” is waiting for us and now we need a place to stay for a few days. If you can offer us a sofa for a few days, no matter if in Spain, France or The Netherlands, please contact us via email: IndyDerHund@Gmail.com or WhatsApp: +34694 403 951.

A big WUFF to you all.

Indy
