Feeling at home in The Netherlands? Baffled about the bureaucracy? Surprised by the quirky behaviour of the Dutch? Don't worry, you're not the only one!
West International is a program where you can share your experiences and laugh with and learn from other expats from The Hague and surroundings. In the TV West International show we will cover lifestye, culture, sports and give you practical advice about city life in The Netherlands. Every week we will visit a person or family that is about to leave The Netherlands and wants to share his or her advice for survival, fun and success in the region. They will talk about what they will take with them and what they will leave behind. Another weekly item is joining an expat for dinner for a dish from their country of origin.
The program aims at expats and international oriented people who are living and working in The Hague and surrounding areas.
TV West is the first broadcaster with a special television show for the international community in The Netherlands.

West International a le but d'informez-vous - les expartiés ou les personnes qui sont orienter à l'étranger - sur la vie au milieu des Néerlandais dans la région de La Haye. C'est une programme où vous pouvez raconter vos propres expériences et apprenez d'expériences d'autres expatriés. Puis, l'équipe de West International vous donne des conseils pratiques. Chaque semaine nous visitions une autre famille qui part les Pays- Bas et un expatrié joint nous pour un diner avec West International.

Cecilia Aquino is a twenty-seven year old Filipino-American who moved to the Netherlands in July 2008. Nicola Courtney’s passport might say she's British, but she is what you would call a serial expat. She has experienced the highs and lows of moving to a new country.
The program is produced by Starsound Productions.
