A Wanderlust For Life

I'm Jessica from an American who moved to Amsterdam in 2014.

This channel is dedicated to European food and travel adventures (with a big focus on Amsterdam, since we live here!). I'll show you the best foodie experiences in big cities and small regions. Regional food and drinks are at the core of travel for me but I also like to get unique perspectives of cultures through memorable experiences.

What you'll find on A Wanderlust For Life are travel guides, food tours, and experiences that you can't wait to do! Be sure to subscribe to follow my journey.

    You actually nailed it with this video. Skillingsbolle is surely a Bergen treat. There are only a couple traditional hotdog-stands remaining in Norway. Trekroneren is a must-stop. (Syverkiosken in Oslo the other.) Creamed fish soup, treated cod and raspeballer are all West-Norway dishes. You could potentially have included a piece of Hvit Dame (white lady - marzipan cake) for dessert.

    I would love to see you and Pacsafe created a perfect backpack. I’ve watched all your Pacsafe videos, and I agree with all of your comments, especially the ones from the GO backpack review. I’ll be travelling later this year, and I’ve been crazily researching for the best Pacsafe backpack. Unfortunately, the ones I like have been discontinued. I like Pacsafe’s previously business strategies, where they had different lines that suit different needs. I especially like the itch StyleSafe line. My first Pacsafe bag was the Metrosafe LS200 crossbody. As much I love the anti-theft feature and high quality fabric, I dislike the design. It was so ugly that I decided to sell it and got a bag from another brand. That bag clearly was not as well made as pacsafe, but the look of it is more stylish (I know I’m shallow). But that’s just how I, as a gal, thinks. So I would love to see a stylish Pacsafe personala sized backpack with all the features X has. (Is it too much I ask for?)

    I can't tell you how much I love this idea! And thank you so much for watching the videos and leaving such a helpful comment. I did the same thing. I bought an early Pacsafe bag before there were any cute options. Then I bought more. I think the Citysafe CX is still my favorite in terms of space, functionality, and design. But also, each do different things for me. I'm going to send this over to them and see if it's possible. Thanks again!

    Love your explanations. Especially the app of the airport. We live in Florida USA, and we have been to the Amsterdam airport, but I forgot it’s a lot of walking. My wife needs a wheelchair to get around so your app makes it easier so as not to get lost. And we have to meet our son, that’s flying on another airline, in the central Plaza. Your ab recommendation helps us do that. Thank you so much.

    I’m visiting the Netherlands using my 2 months paid vacation from my evil American tech company. It’s not for me; I’ve found the people quite rude - not direct, rude. I’ve always quite liked the Dutch I’ve interacted with in the states however based on my interactions thus far in Amsterdam I’m left feeling rather perplexed. It’s clear that there’s a negative attitude about Americans.

    Thanks for your detailed review. I add to the what I would change part that the breast strap is far too low even in the highest position. And the backpack itself is a bit long for women below 1.70m, it hits the butt in an uncomfortable way.

    Different trains have different configurations. Sometimes bags can go under the seat, between rows (when the seats are back to back), overhead, luggage racks, or you stand in an open space with them. We have so many types of trains, there is no one answer.
