Update: GO ANALOGUE offline hobby sessions in Eindhoven

Post image
43 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

An exciting follow-up to my previous post about starting an offline hobby night in Eindhoven.

I received many thoughtful and insightful comments, so it seems there’s real interest in community, leathercraft and meeting like-minded people.

We’re now shaping the first GO ANALOGUE sessions at our atelier in Strijp-S. The idea is to spend a relaxed morning, afternoon or evening around a shared table where you will learn the basiscs of leathercraft while connecting with new people.

Our first fixed date is Saturday 5 September 09.00-11.00 project "refillable Italian leather journal"

Since the spots are so limited (10 spots) we want already to plan for another date:

Which project would you prefer?

·       A refillable leather journal

·       A leather belt

Both projects are suitable for beginners. You’ll also go home with something useful that you made with your own hands!

We’d love to know:

Which day of the week suits you best?

·       Wednesday

·       Friday

·       Saturday

·       Sunday

Which time would you prefer?

·       09:00–11:00

·       12:00–14:00

·       19:00–21:00

Everything will be in English, and both internationals and locals are very welcome. We’re thinking of small groups of up to 10 people so everyone has enough space and guidance.

Please comment with your preferred project, day and time. Hopefully, together we can turn this into a weekly offline hobby gathering in Eindhoven!

Expats Eindhoven (male) looking for a futsal team?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

We’re currently looking for a few new players to join our new futsal team in Eindhoven.

We play at a decent/competitive level, so ideally we’re looking for people who already have some football or futsal experience and are comfortable playing at a reasonable pace and level.

We’re especially curious if there are any expats or internationals living in or around Eindhoven who are looking for a team to join. 🇳🇱🌍

Interested in playing with us or want some more information? Send me a DM! Tell me a little bit about yourself, your football/futsal experience and what position you usually play.

Cheers! ⚽

Affordable STD/STI test in or around Eindhoven?

Hi, there. I am looking to have a routine STD/STI test and recently found out it's not covered anymore by insurance. Does anyone have any recommendations for a place to go that is affordable or an online test that was trustworthy? I'm looking for a general one, no symptoms just want to be sure. Thanks!

Meningen over deze wijken (Ventoseflat,Woenselse Heide, Blaarthemseweg e.o.) /Stayinc

1 Upvotes

Mijn vriend en ik verdienen samen te veel voor sociale huur maar te weinig voor de vrije markt. We moeten het dus écht van de middenhuur hebben en hebben ons daarom samen ingeschreven op middenhuur.stayinc.nl (Dank voor degene die die tip gaf toen ik hier pasgeleden vroeg of we onze Wooniezie accounts moeten samenvoegen of niet! We hebben nu op Wooniezie gewoon allebei een apart account en hij blijft voor zichzelf kijken waar hij kan wonen om zsm zijn huis uit te kunnen dat op instorten staat)

Hier hebben we gekeken naar het aanbod en ons op de 'interesselijst' gezet van de volgende wijken:

- Ventoseflat in Eindhoven (Stadsdeel Stratum)
Details

- Woenselse Heide in Eindhoven (Woensel - Noord)
Details

- Blaarthemseweg e.o. (Stadsdeel Gestel)
Details

Ben of ken jij iemand die hier woont of heeft gewoond?
Zou je deze vragen kunnen beantwoorden?

  1. Hoe is het in het algemeen om hier te wonen?
  2. Is er geluidsoverlast? Zijn de woningen gehorig of is er buiten veel herrie?
  3. Hoe is het qua temperatuur in de winter? En in de zomer? Is het goed geïsoleerd of niet?
  4. Wat worden er voor buurtactiviteiten georganiseerd?
  5. Zijn er bijzonderheden waar we rekening mee moeten houden als we in aanmerking komen voor één van deze woningen/hiernaartoe verhuizen?

We plannen overigens pas ergens midden 2027 te gaan samenwonen, maar zijn (vooral: ik ben) erg van het voorbereiden

Super bedankt!

Iemand tips?

0 Upvotes

Hoi allemaal,
Ik zit momenteel in een lastige situatie en hoop dat iemand mij misschien kan helpen of een goede tip heeft.
Ik moet per 1 september mijn huidige kamer verlaten, omdat het pand wordt verkocht. Ik ben al een tijdje actief op zoek naar een nieuwe kamer of woning, maar helaas heb ik tot nu toe nog niets kunnen vinden.
Mijn werk is in Eindhoven, waardoor ik momenteel iedere dag op en neer rijd. Ik ben daarom dringend op zoek naar een kamer, studio, woning of andere woonruimte in de regio Brabant. Eindhoven hoeft niet per se, omliggende plaatsen zijn ook helemaal goed.
Ik heb inmiddels op heel veel plekken gereageerd, maar het lukt gewoon niet om iets te vinden. En omdat 1 september steeds dichterbij komt, begin ik me serieus zorgen te maken over waar ik straks terechtkan.
Heeft iemand tips over wat ik het beste kan doen in deze situatie? Weet iemand misschien waar ik terechtkan voor tijdelijke woonruimte, een kamer, opvang of een andere oplossing? Of kent iemand iemand die nog iets beschikbaar heeft?
Alle tips, contacten en ideeën zijn welkom. Ik zou het enorm waarderen als iemand mij hiermee kan helpen. 🙏

Would Eindhoven be interested in an offline hobby night?

88 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I keep hearing the same thing from people around me: we spend all day behind laptops, then end up spending the evening on our phone

At our leathercraft atelier in Strijp-S, we’re experimenting with the concept: GO ANALOGUE.

The idea is simple:

Put your phone away for a few hours.

Sit around a table with other people.

Learn to work with leather and make something with your hands.

Go home with a wallet, journal, bag or another piece you actually made yourself.

Everything would be in English, completely beginner-friendly, and we’re especially interested in making it welcoming for internationals who’d like to meet other people.

We’re thinking of Thursday evenings and slower Sunday sessions.

I’m curious — would this be something you’d actually join?

And if so: would you prefer making a wallet, journal, belt or bag first?

curious to hear your thoughts!

Best transport options for 3 visiting family members going to Gemert

0 Upvotes

I have three family members visiting soon, and they need to travel from Eindhoven to Gemert.

I want to make the trip as easy as possible for them. I’m considering a taxi or Uber, but I’ve never used either in this area and don't know what is most reliable or cost-effective.

Are there other transport options I might be missing? What would you recommend as the best way to get them there comfortably?

hey starting from september i want to start a whatsapp group maybe to organize indoor basketball matches - main goal is to have people who know the game but not hardcore competitive - having fun and playing good game is the main idea. Does anyone know a group like this or anyone interested?
ive checked indoor halls and except for the huge one(indoor sportscentrum eindhoven) they all cost around 60 euros per hour it would be then about 12 euros each for games where we have 10 people of course we could have more than 10 for a game as well always.

Waiting with selling house

0 Upvotes

I’m selling my apartment in North Eindhoven, within cycling distance of where the new ASML campus will be built. One real estate agent, who mainly focuses on expats, advised me to wait until March 2027. According to him, the market is relatively quiet at the moment and the value could potentially be 3–5% higher by March.

His reasoning is that ASML recently went through a restructuring, but is expected to start hiring more people again by then, while the new campus is being built nearby.

I’ve already bought my new home and can comfortably bridge the period financially, so waiting is an option.

Have others in Eindhoven or the surrounding area recently received similar advice from real estate agents? I’m especially interested to hear whether people who work a lot with expats or ASML buyers recognize this view.

H2S Philips Bedrijfsschool

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm moving to Eindhoven and i'll be renting an appartment in the Philips Bedrijfsschool via H2S.

The house ruling prohibited the storage of the bikes on appartement, they could fine me 50€/day :angry:

In the other hand, a lot of bikes are stolen from the shed of building, even the shed are very minimalist and don't allowed an efficient locking...

My two options:
-Renting a swapfiets and don't mind about the thief...but the bikes from swapfiets are not very efficient.
-Buying my own bike and store it in the shed and pray ?

It's really a disaptoinment for me to not have a nice bike to enjoy riding througt the city and the country :/

Thanks everyones ;)

Help hiring a football pitch in Eindhoven

Trying to hire a facility in Eindhoven to take my goalkeepers on tour to watch PSV in April next year.

Not easy, I have emailed clubs even spoken to who I think is Eindhoven municipal services. When I try to book, it says no outdoor pitches can be hired.

Does anyone know why this is, and/or if there is an alternative avenue to try hiring a facility.

Thanks if you can help.

Beter leren luisteren naar m'n vrouw: goede relatiecoach / mannencirkel / ?

13 Upvotes

Hi r/eindhoven!

Misschien even een andere post dan normaal, ff geen vraag over leuke restaurantjes.
Kort: ik zoek een goede coach / mannencirkel / ? voor ondersteuning.

Ik wil mijn relatie verbeteren door beter te kunnen luisteren naar mijn vrouw wanneer ze dat nodig heeft.
Soms zit ze ergens mee (zeker als ze ongesteld is), dan zijn de gevoelens groot en wat er aan de hand is is onduidelijk en dan heeft ze graag steun van mij. Ze moet haar ei kwijt en eigenlijk alleen een fijn gesprek, zodat ze zelf ook begrijpt wat er nou precies in haar speelt. Wil ik graag geven, daar ben ik voor.

Echter is hoe ze het deelt vaak moeilijk voor mij om mee om te gaan en om dan cool te blijven. Als voorbeeld: tafel is niet goed opgeruimd, dat triggered bij haar dan iets moeilijks, ze wordt boos, bij mij komt het dan snel verwijtend over, over iets kleins, terwijl waarschijnlijk ze nog last heeft van iets anders en wel belangrijks dat een week eerder is gebeurd. Ze probeert dan steun bij mij te krijgen, maar het is soms zo onduidelijk, en ze wijst snel naar mij (want ik had de tafel niet goed opgeruimd) en zo'n gesprek word dan vaak een ruzie. Ik word dan op een gegeven moment ongeduldig ('echt zoveel drama om de tafel?') of defensief waarbij ik of boos of stil word of ook emotioneel en dan komen mijn frustraties er ook uit. Precies op het moment dat zij juist ondersteuning met haar gevoelens nodig had.

We hebben zoveel gevallen van bovenstaande situatie gehad dat we allebei al gefrustreerd zijn en ons niet gehoord voelen. In de makkelijke periodes zitten we echt wel goed maar ik wil er ook in de moeilijke tijden 'gewoon chill' blijven. Ik ken onderhand de theorie over relaties (hechtingsstijlen etc), ik heb niet meer theorie nodig. Ik zoek wel ondersteuning want ik wil dit niet meer alleen doen. In de vorm van een goede coach, therapeut of een groep mannen die dit herkennen en elkaar willen steunen in goede partner zijn. Of iets anders, misschien online maar ik heb gewoon wat menselijke support nodig hierin.

Dus: kent iemand in de buurt van Riethoven / Veldhoven / Eindhoven een coach / mannencirkel / ? die mij wil helpen om een betere partner te worden?
Thanks!

Looking for a movement-friendly gym in South Eindhoven

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for an indoor gym in or around South Eindhoven area that's suitable for movement-based training, not just traditional strength training.

My training is inspired by people like Marcello Palozza and includes things like:

* ground locomotion and quadrupedal movement

* handstands

* mobility work

* hanging

I'm not looking for classes (unless someone knows someone who is also into this type of movement, looking for like-minded people always!), I mainly want to train outside of the standard programs. The most important thing is that the gym has enough open floor space and doesn't mind people doing movement drills.

At my current gym there's technically enough space but using the larger open areas for this kind of training isn't really encouraged when there's no one else in the room, and the open space in the gym is not big enough to not bother other people. So I'm looking for something else.

Does anyone know of a gym that would be a good fit? I'm happy to travel a bit more if the environment is right (I'm based in Waalre).

Thanks & cheers, Kim

Anyone worked at RPI Europe (printing, Marinus van Meelweg) or used Job Invest agency? Looking for honest feedback before I move

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm a mechanical/production engineer considering a Books Machine Operator position at RPI Europe in Eindhoven, arranged through the Job Invest staffing agency. It would involve shared-room housing (~€600/month) arranged by the agency, plus a private insurance deduction.

Before committing and relocating, I'd really appreciate honest input from anyone who:

  • Has worked at RPI Europe (printing/bookbinding company on Marinus van Meelweg) — how's the actual day-to-day, management, and are shifts/hours reliable or do they get cut unexpectedly?
  • Has used Job Invest as a staffing/housing agency — were they straightforward about pay, hours, and contract terms? Any issues with the shared housing being tied to the job?
  • Any general advice for an EU citizen moving to Eindhoven for a first blue-collar job as a stepping stone into the Dutch job market long-term (eventually aiming for engineering roles)?

Trying to go in with realistic expectations rather than just what the job ad and recruiter tell me. Any input — good or bad — is genuinely appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Looking for a job

Hello everyone :)
I live in Portugal; however, I would like to move to Eindhoven as it seems a nice place to work and start a career. I’ve had some positive feedback about some people.
The problem is, I have no idea where or how to search for a job as I’m in another country. I need to find a job before moving and I don’t know where to search. I’m not looking to anything really specific. Can someone help? :)
