A Wanderlust For Life

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.

    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.

    Why are Americans skeptical of taxes? Why do they hate paying them? Come on, you haven't been away that long. Have you forgotten how US taxpayer dollars are pissed away on bullshit? Surely you haven't. Americans hate seeing their hard fought money squandered, abused and wasted by corrupt governments at the local, regional, state and federal levels. Then there is the overwhelming complexity of US taxes which I guarantee are way more layered and confusing than what the Dutch or any other Europeans face.

    4:20 Visit a fast food cart with a big sign that says freshly fried herring. Become disappointed that it is not pickled. (There are few eateries in Sweden that sell pickled herring as street food, it is probably more common in the Netherlands. Fried herring is the way to go.)

    I saw another video of a Canadian couple visiting Sweden. They made the same horrible mistake! Visiting Sweden the wrong time of year... Swedes only want to be Swedes between May and September: that is heaven, but we pay for it the rest of the year. And Stockholm too! Cold is colder in Stockholm due to the sea-air. That moisture seeps through your clothes and you can't protect yourself. Writing this on May 26. Just four months of life left.

    where do the NS trains and red buses take you? Is there a away to figure out which color bus you are taking on google maps? For example, how do I know if the bus I take from the Centraal station to the Van Gogh museum is GVB or something else?

  • @aWanderlustForLife
    @aWanderlustForLifeАй бұрын

    NS trains are nationwide and you can use the NS app or website. I wouldn't recommend tourists use them for traveling in Amsterdam as it can get confusing. But Google maps helps. The red buses (not GVB buses) are regional. Again, I would recommend them to those traveling outside the city. Anything within Amsterdam can be reached with GVB transportation, whether that's bus, tram, or metro. Fun fact, if you use Google Maps, there's a place at the bottom of the map instructions that tells you the transit company.

    Most Americans cannot even dream of such luxuries. Take time off when you are sick??? Get around without a car saving around 900 dollars per month? 20 days of vacation at least? Going to the hospital does not make you bankrupt??? This must be a dream. Also government sponsored childcare and higher education. Say what? It should be illegal to live so well.
