Building A New Network in the Netherlands with Bradley and Abigail Du Toit - E19

What would make a family uproot their lives in beautiful Somerset West and move all the way to the Netherlands? Is it career, safety, or the promise of a better future for their children? Or perhaps all three. In this episode, I chat to Bradley and Abigail du Toit, a couple who made exactly that leap from South Africa to Europe with their family. Bradley, an old cycling buddy of mine, shares how his career as an electrical engineer opened doors abroad, while Abigail talks candidly about the joys and struggles that come with starting again in a new country.Hearing their story was deeply relatable; I really appreciated how they shared all about the difficult parts, especially how much they miss family and the practical challenges of settling into Dutch life. I think many listeners will see their own questions and doubts reflected in this conversation.“Open those doors. Don't be afraid. You never know. You just never know.” - Bradley du Toit00:00 Introduction06:49 Making the move abroad for their kids10:01 How their kids are coping11:44 Missing family in SA14:15 Building a community at church17:45 Wanting the best of both worlds20:53 Justifying their decision to move25:04 Opportunity to better their lives26:14 Funny anecdotes28:20 His advice for relocatingThis podcast was produced by the team at Zapods Podcast Agency:https://www.zapods.com
