Why??? we don't need more people nor foreigners. We don't have enough houses for our own people and you're taking away an apartment from our own citizens.

Nice vlog and good to see the places that you talked about. Maybe some other locations where you might go? Allard Pierson Museum; FOAM, Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam; Het Grachtenhuis; H'ART Museum; Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam; KattenKabinet; Luther Museum Amsterdam; Nieuwe Kerk; Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder; Scheepvaartmuseum; Stedelijk Museum; Huis Willet-Holthuysen; Theater Tuschinski; Het Concertgebouw. Don’t forget the Amsterdam Light festival (until19 january 2025) For nachos and cocktails go to Parakeet which is in your neighbourhood and run by two guys from Atlanta. A little further away: De Hallen including a nice movietheater and foodhall Also nice to show some of the the Amsterdam 750th anniversary activities. And for kids: Children's cooking cafe: where children cook and serve!

Organic is the word you're looking for. :-) Ekoplaza sells mostly overpriced organic food. Most ordinary supermarkets have their own organic products. You also might want to check out some other shops, like jumbo, lidl, dirk van den broek, vomar.

Interesting to hear your journey! Really made me think of what I want in life. I still don't know, but I do see that it helps to dream big! I would love to hear more about where and how you met your new friends! It's so difficult to make new friends (and keep old friends!) as an adult.

If you find an expat store; check if they have “Calpol” from the UK. It’s strawberry flavoured paracetamol with a syringe. Works great.

Maybe see if you can get involved with a nanny group in AMS. Like go to the park once or twice a week w the kiddos to meet up with some Nannie’s & practice your Dutch there with them. I still recommend having a tutor and taking classes (you will need it) but to exercise your speaking skills, I would go gather with some Nannies because they will most likely give you great perspective on the language.

Have you heard of the "Consultatiebureau" in the Netherlands? Almost all kids up to 4 years old go there for vaccinations, medical check-ups and consultations for parents if you have any questions regarding your baby. Perhaps this could work for you as well? Love the vlog. Greetz from Amsterdam xxx

As a Christian who holds my faith as the most important thing in my life, I resonate so much with the “not trusting your desires and what your body is telling you.” I was raised the exact same way and I think it’s so wrong. The Bible says the Lord created us uniquely and specifically with certain gifts and desires for our lives. Those are traits the Lord gave us Himself!!!! And I was raised to never trust myself, never listen to my own desires - and I believe we are to run to prayer with our desires but the Lord gives us desires, He gives us direction, so we must CERTAINLY lean into how He created us to be. I notice that’s a bigggg belief in boomer Christianity. And I honestly believe it’s off base in a large way. I agree we shouldn’t rely on ourselves or trust our heart for everything, the Lord gave us a brain, gave us a personality and gave us free will. We are unique for a reason!!!

I am glad that some religions are shifting their language around this! And not only referencing Bible verses like “The heart is deceitful above all things” Jeremiah 17:9. I’ve dabbled in multiple philosophies and religions since deconstructing my faith and have found very similar themes of valuing lack of desire and not being attached to things, so I don’t think it’s only Christianity! It’s interesting though when I started digging into it more and wondering why a large organization would find it valuable for people (especially women) to not trust their desires and instead trust an outside authority…

Aww, it's so sweet to see your first Amsterdam experiences! Your bakfiets practice moment took me waaay back to 2009. When I first moved here to be an au pair, the family had me immediately dive in to driving three kids around town (haha, in the middle of winter, WTF was I thinking?!). Just watch out for the tram rails and you'll be fine!
