Interviews:
Clogs and Tulips has an ongoing interview series called Tiptoe Through the Tulips. These are interviews with expats living in the Netherlands and Dutch expats living around the world. This is ongoing, meaning you can submit anytime, no matter how long it's been since the last interview was published!

Simply send an email to clogsandtulipsblog@gmail.com with "Tiptoe Through the Tulips Interview" in the subject line and I will email you back with a list of 10 questions concerning your life as an expat.

Feel free to include up to three photos with your interview.

For an idea of what a Tiptoe Through the Tulips interview entails, scour the blog for past interviews.

Q&A:
Have a question about life in the Netherlands? Clogs and Tulips answers them as best as possible with its Cloggie Queries series.

Past queries have included immigration to the Netherlands, Dutch specialty shops, IVF treatments in Amsterdam, children's vaccinations in the Netherlands, and more.

Check past queries in case your question has already been answered. If it hasn't or you'd like more detail, send your question to clogsandtulipsblog@gmail.com with your permission for me to use the question and my answer on the blog (please let me know if you'd like me to include your name, sign you as anonymous or if you'd like to make up a cute little Dear-Abby-esque name for yourself).
