It feels like just yesterday I was exploring the charming towns and vibrant cities of the Netherlands, a journey that now, a month later, still vividly plays in my mind. My adventure began in the historical city of Arnhem, leading me through the medieval streets of Amersfoort, the cheesy delights of Gouda, the artistic canals of Delft, and finally, the serene beauty of Veere. Time truly does fly when you’re immersed in such rich experiences, and I’m thrilled to finally share the highlights of this unforgettable Dutch escapade.
One of the most striking aspects of the Netherlands, especially coming from the warm climate of Florida, was the abundance of lush greenery and ancient forests. My soul delighted in the pervasive sense of “forest bathing” β long, invigorating walks surrounded by nature that seemed to rejuvenate my entire body. Beyond the natural beauty, I was profoundly inspired by the incredibly active lifestyle embraced by people of all ages across the country. And, of course, no Dutch journey would be complete without indulging in copious amounts of delicious local cheese and savory pancakes, which were happily incorporated into our daily routine! π
