Hello everyone!
I (36m) am new here in Maastritcht (international) and would like to meet new friends. Are there any groups you recommend, like to get to together and talk over coffee, going hiking, or even gym buddies haha.

Hello, i am currently living in Bemelen(close to Maastricht by the east side). I have been living here for 6 months and studying in Maastricht, was able to find housing in there and my contract ended so i want to know if there is any sort of delivery company or something like that that can help move personal belongings. I have quite some things, not massive amount but can't move them all at once on my own. I was thinking of taxi at first but want to hear recommendations first.

I need recommendations for a haircut, however as a student I have a limited budget. Please share recommendations. I checked on Google one of them was The Best Haircut parlour, and there were some mixed reviews about it.

Hey, I wanted to ask if someone knows a GD here in Maastricht best case that speaks German. As there are some problems that I would rather speak with someone in my mothertongue (as it’s still better than my English, and absolutely than my Dutch).

If it’s outside of Maastricht it’s also no problem in case he speaks German.

Hello! I'm 20F and was thinking of finding a mental health buddy in Maastricht or curating a group if there is more than one interested where we coordinate activities together related to improving our mental health and meet up for coffee and chat about life and our progress regularly.

My reason is that have a few mental disorders but I do not feel comfortable sharing it openly with just anyone and in general maintain an image of being "sunny, happy and super independent". I would love to be with people who are going through a similar thing and actively trying to improve themselves too :)

Looking for someone who is open to speaking in English as I'm an international student too. My DMs are open if anyone is interested.

I've been wanting to go to a mvv roda game for a while but when the tickets went on sale last week it said unavailable for me. Apparently in order to purchase tickets online you need to have bought tickets before using the same account.

I've been to previous MVV games but I've bought tickets at the entrance, never online via an account. Is there really no way for me to get a ticket? I know I could get the half season pass but that's like at least 130€

I know that it is allowed to use bags in the green trash can so that the food is not sticking to the can all the time, but it seems like I use the wrong ones since they never get taken away and are always left on the street. Can someone please tell me which exact ones are ok to use and where to get them? I currently use black ones from spar with a recycling logo on them.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am a student at UM and am looking for a decent/good partner to play occasionally against (once or twice a week) at UM Sports. I haven’t played competitively in a while, but I am sure I can warm up and get to a decent level pretty quickly. Please DM me, if interested!

Does anyone know a place I can go use a boxing bag and/or some group sessions for pads anywhere in Maastricht? Strictly for boxing with shoes on (no mats).

I'd appreciate any help, Thanks.

Hello everyone! Do you know of any good local carpenters that do repairs? I want to repair a drawer from a tv stant that I have, but I don't seem to find any one that can do that. Any suggestions?

Hey everyone! I'll be living in Maastricht for the next five months and am looking for a good gym, preferably one with a sauna. I know I’m a bit spoiled, but my gym back home has a sauna, and I absolutely love it.

I checked out Club Pelikaan, but €100 a month is a bit out of my budget. I’ll be staying near Frontenpark, so anything close by (or within biking distance) would be perfect. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Hi! There will be a queer party at the muziekgieterij February 18th, I don’t really know a lot of queer people in Maastricht so I wanted to ask if any of my fellow queers would like to join me? It’s free! If you are interested please send me a message

Hi, I just move to Maastricht and is looking for an affordable mattress (or memory foam mattress). Does anyone know where to buy one? Thanks.

Any recommendations for a couple between BlaBlaCar, flixbus, trains, etc even renting a car (I’m 24)?

Hi, I’m an Italian nurse and I’m planning to move to Maastricht at the beginning of May 2025. I have one last interview with a nursing home but I’m still not sure if they're going to recruit me. I wanted to know which job I could apply for expats that only speak English as a backup plan (possibly a job without previous experience). I’m already learning Dutch by myself, and I’m planning to go to Dutch language classes once I’m in Maastricht. My main problem is the housing. I want to share a three-room apartment with my Italian friend that already lives there and we have to find a place by the end of February (because his rental contract expires in March). My friend has a job, but housing agencies are most likely to not accept people that still don’t have a job to sign a contract (my case). I’m worried because I might not resolve all these issues by the end of next month. Any advice?

Edit: I read your comments. Thank you so much for answering. I'll put some more context: I’ve been planning to move since May of last year and I've been busy sending emails to expat counselors and finding a job as a registered nurse. My friend and I have been searching for an apartment together for almost a month now. I was aware that it wasn’t going to be easy… Finger crossed, I’ll update you!

Hi I know 5-6 friends of mine who are ready and want to play indoor football, is there any group in Maastricht? If not we can create one and find somewhere to play

Any recommendations for places to work on a laptop open late that would let me plug in devices/charge? Closet to Mariaberg but wherever walking distance is great.

Hi, i am looking to learn the (European) Portugese language. I lived in Portugal for about a year and hope to return in the future. Does anybody know where i can start in Maastricht? I would prefer a more informal approach.

I am curious how people feel about it.

Will you stay in Maastricht? Socialize? Party hard?

EDIT: heb genoeg tips binnen, antwoorden is niet meer nodig. Dank allen!

Alle antwoorden worden gewaardeerd!

Hi

Is anything happening locally for Lunar New Year?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for quite public spaces in Maastricht to work/study and I was wondering if anyone here knows a hidden gem. For me, the public library at centre ceramique can be a bit too noisy and this place isn't open at Mondays unfortunately. So ideally it would be a place which is open at Mondays as well. I wouldn't mind paying for beverages if this is mandatory for working there.

Hi all! Anyone has any nice tips for indoor places to go with a (young) toddler in Maastricht or really nearby? We've been going to the library 2-3 times a week, looking for an alternative. Preferably something accessible by car (not inner city) and not too expensive an entry free. I know about library, Ballorig, Paulissen and confetti.
