Are you from Netherlands or did you migrate to Netherlands? I ask because I would like to know if it is common for Netherlands natives to have their office at such a convenient distance from home. In the UK, it usually takes a 1 to 2 hour train ride to reach work by train.

I moved to Amsterdam to have a better work-life balance, with a family.

I lived in London before, having a 40-minute tube commute that was okay when I had no kids. London became harder to live in, once I had kids - central London is especially an unfriendly place for families IMO.

I did exactly the same thing a few months ago (sans kids). Turned my 35-40 minute tube commute into a 10 minute leisurely cycle ride.
