The First Place We Traveled Together (9 years later😱)

Want to travel with us to Korea this fall?😍 Only a few spots left on our independently organized group trip in October: nonstopdan.com/seoul-group-tr...
----------------------------------
Today, we're taking it back BIG TIME🥹 We are revisiting the FIRST place we ever traveled to together outside Sweden, the lovely capital of the Netherlands: Amsterdam🙌🏼
We were traveling with Oskar's mom and said goodbye to her in London, before we continued a review trip for @NonstopDan, which involved a stop at Schiphol Airport and an extended layover in Amsterdam😍
Today, we bring you along on this trip down memory lane. We explore all the best vegan spots to eat, have some delicious FRESH stroopwafels, scour the city for the best vegan croissants and pastries, and look for all things stereotypically and/or traditionall Dutch we can find!
We were in Amsterdam March 18-19, so we just missed tulip season😢 But that's okay, just another reason to come back next time and see more of the countryside!
----------------------------------
We’re Oskar🧔🏻 and Dan👱🏻‍♂️, and we believe that anyone regardless of who they are deserves to live their dreams! For the past nine years, we’ve continued pushing boundaries by traveling and living all across the world, including places like Uganda, Brunei, and Saudi Arabia. In 2022, we reached a huge milestone by visiting 100 countries and we’re now on a mission to keep sharing our journey and hopefully make the world a little more open, compassionate, and peaceful along the way❤️
See you around the world😍

The Netherlands was country no. 2🌍 (after Sweden, of course😉)
Next time we are in the Netherlands, we'd love to see more of the country, like Rotterdam, The Hague, Maastricht, Friesland, and more🙌🏼
Thank you for watching!🙏😍

Why Have We Never Seen Dan's Upper Body, Whereas Oscar Keeps Skinny Dipping 🙄And Why Don't You Ever 💋😘 Kiss ????? Are You The Controlling TOP ? Dan ? Or Is It NOR- DICK ?

[@ninja_boy]

"This building is almost as straight as us" 😂 I had the same reaction when I first saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

[@giannishen]

You did a really great job, thanks a lot for sharing! 👍😄👏

[@mauiguy6710]

Glad you’re feeling better Oskar. This vlog was perfection as always. Thanks. ❤️🌈

[@blossomct]

Oskar you look so much happier and so glad you took time for yourself!! As always you and Dan don't disappoint with your vids as always awesome trip!!

[@OskarandDan]

Thank you🥹❤️

[@stephenhutchings6086]

How nice to see the two of you happy as usual together. Amsterdam was the very first city I visited outside of South Africa 50 years ago. I still recognized some of those scenes. Continue to grow as you journey together on this amazing adventure called life. Much love from South Africa.❤

[@ThomasCummiskey]

You guys made my day!! 17 years old and traveling, I know how easy it was to make simple errors. lol Oskar, you continue to grow and evolve, becoming the wonderful man that you are. Trust yourself. Dan, love your humor. “Gum on the pavement” a comfort reminder of most cities. Love and hugs, tom

[@brendalee7484]

Glad you are doing better, Oskar!! As always, thank you for sharing your journey. It makes my day watching your videos.

[@goodemily]

So happy to see you both back happy and healthy! ❤❤

[@earthwalker8277]

Lovely to see you both! You seem happy and relaxed, so glad you had a meaningful trip down memory lane!

[@goshermus1]

So glad to see you again!

[@ratnadeeps]

You guys are living the best life Oskar and Dan. Hope u always smile and stay positive.

[@CraigKell]

Great memories, great vlog. Keep it up guys!

[@eahoward83]

I love your editing and music choices. Such a sunny, happy vibe 😊

[@TheBalkenende]

Amazing to see you guys in my country, happy travels to both of you! 🙏🏼🇳🇱

[@tenor714]

Firstly, you both seem so much more relaxed! Secondly, you both looked so giddily happy together it was so fun to see!!! ❤

[@scruff520]

You guys are great, I bet it was so lovely going back to where it all began, great video guys xx

[@FlyWithVeiga]

Glad you guys are back!

[@Ylh3pson]

so beautiful the city, and the vibe of this vlog!

[@SusanS777]

Great to see you back. Take care

[@Carlordau]

Oskar, you can't stop to look at all the beautiful things when you're with Nonstop Dan.

[@gregoryeastman6804]

I like this format just kind of doing your thing and just being yourself that's the way you should do this because I love you guys

[@TheWhore2culture]

How wonderful to see both of you looking/sounding so relaxed,vibrant & happy - not that you didn't before - but,knowing you've implemented some changes,whatever they are, you both look really well & invigorated for what ever the next chapter is going to be. Being older than you, I've found that there is often more pleasure in revisiting a destination & Amsterdam is certainly like that for me and Dan,having grown up in Africa & Oman(mainly),with boarding school in England, one of the greatest things in life is to choose to stay indoors with a book. Also walking around cities when the sun isn't blazing down,make a lazy visit to a museum or just wondering around far more relaxed,without that imperative to do anything. My great love/hobby/interest is very ancient history,much of which can entail walking round vast sites - taking Greece as an example - yes,it awesome to enjoy beautiful weather,sunshine & heat if you're near the sea or a pool,but,visiting ancient sites is a different experience out of or off season. Many times I've found I/we have The place almost or completely to yourself & without the sun beating down it's far less exhausting. Athens out of season is a very different place,which I now know like the back of my hand. Keep doing whatever it is that you're both doing and sending very best wishes to both you&yours💙💙👌⭐️'s💯❤️💯👋✌️

[@heidibaum4270]

You guys are great! Enjoy watching the two of you trek around the world. You’ve definitely helped me to get out there even as a solo person!

[@tinat3894]

OMG!! Vegan croissants in not just one bakery..im swooning😍 & the grocery options, wow!! Amsterdam is now a definite on my travel list.

[@OskarandDan]

IKR😭😭

[@ruanbarnard3710]

Thanks for the video! 😀

[@faarisisfinn]

Amsterdam is a beautiful place their urban planning is amazing and tidy

[@charliemalkin1451]

7:34 That swing is so good

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job you guys

[@heretotravel]

Hi from Scotland! We’re also a couple of vegan travellers. Great vid! ❤ We’ve been thinking about Amsterdam being our next trip and you guys just sealed the deal! 😊

[@OskarandDan]

You'll have a vegan BLAST😍

[@rem05033]

Very engaging video. Thanks! I lived in the Netherlands for 3 years. I thoroughly enjoyed the Dutch culture. You guys work well together, btw.

[@ageoflove1980]

12:05 Aha so you found the coffeeshops. Excellent

[@mirra_xo]

yayyy this is so cute, missed u guys

[@OskarandDan]

❤️

[@robthetraveler1099]

Lived in The Hague from Oct 2001-June 2003 and visited frequently until Mar 2005. Rarely went to Amsterdam but I loved The Netherlands and have nothing but fond memories of my time there. Good to see you guys enjoying yourselves there.

[@Paddyb522]

Looks like you had an amazing time! When I lived in the UK I remember the pressure of having to go outside when the sun was shining! 🤣 Safe travels! 💯👍

[@winnied87]

Very cute guys. Happy for you!

[@bobgraham3289]

Thank you, I enjoyed that. Thank you.

[@patrickmig]

Fantastic vlog guys. I love Amsterdam so much and can’t wait to go back there.

[@blinktea8789]

Well done! Love Oskar's jacket!!

[@OskarandDan]

Thank you! It was a surprise find at UNIQLO😄

[@blinktea8789]

@@OskarandDan Thanks so much for getting back. A very good find indeed. Hope you two have a terrific day!!

[@christieo2739]

I completely agree that nature tourism is so much more memorable than city tourism!

[@LadyMelJo]

Love this for you both! ❤ #2.0

[@michaelmac5582]

Arrival and Amy are the best!

[@petitecherie501]

Thanks for a wonderful video. I love returning to cities and countries we visited about 25 years ago. We would book a ticket to Europe Rent A Car by a few Maps and just drive. It usually took my husband a good 2 weeks to leave the stress of the US behind, but after that we were content to sit outside a little cafe in some French Village whose name we couldn't pronounce and drink wine or coffee until dark we look forward to your adventures wherever they may take you❤

[@claravonessen5673]

What a coincidence. Sixt years ago, today, I moved for three months to Amsterdam. So, we can share today a common anniversary, guys :) How nice to see all these magical places

[@augustusjoy]

I love you guys ❤❤

[@davidhorton2620]

Welcome back ! Thanks for sharing your Amsterdam memories. Please come to (the former Republic of) Texas. We would enjoy being your guides to this diverse and exciting place. We could also practice our Spanish together. Again, so glad you are back. David -San Antonio,TX

[@abrahamclott5604]

Loved this! And how happy you seem! Never been to Amsterdam. Looks beautuful. Where are the crowds? We're told to stay away because of the crowds

[@mirjamandernach7141]

Just stumbled upon your channel. You guys!!!! The way you edit/film is so amazing. And the music 😍. How do you not have millions of followers!!!??? Love what you are doing, love your energy... and Rotterdam 😉 next?

[@OskarandDan]

Aaw thank you so much🥹❤️ That is so sweet! And yes, hopefully soon😆

[@stj53]

Ya'll so cute ❤

[@Ke11yyy]

I love the idea of you guys revisiting the places you went together before you started this channel! Also hoping you guys have plans to travel around the US, I'd love to see vlogs from there too.

[@OskarandDan]

The US is in the plans...😁

[@Ke11yyy]

Awesome, can't wait!

[@paulaonah9881]

Oh my. I have missed your videos so much. Oskar looks so different now.

[@OskarandDan]

Hopefully in a good way😆

[@MrAllwrighty67]

Great video, in beautiful Amsterdam my favourite city in the world, I've just returned from another visit there - accommodation prices can be quite frightening !

[@thijs1221]

Funny to see you guys for the first time in a video in my home country instead of some random exotic location in the world. The Dutch countryside is 'a world apart' from Amsterdam and will not disappoint. Greetings from a litte town near the German border.

[@johnelijahafrica5275]

I’m just here for the love ❤️ between the two of you. Hello from Bangkok.

[@302727]

I Love Netherland. Amsterdam is my most fav city in Europe. Been there 23x since 1979. even though I live 12000km away in a different continent . Ik you van Holland

[@irenekoo]

Our families are lovers.

[@birdieandbambam]

Glad to see you guys back. Vegan Kit Kat? We'll have to find those. Fun update 👍

[@slavchick2602]

Vegan Kit Kats have just appeared in Tesco! (Until now I have had to hunt them out in the occasional Co-op).

[@markuserikssen]

19:20 you should move to The Netherlands, it's gray and cloudy weather 90% of the time. You were lucky with the weather, for real. 🤣 Next time you come to The Netherlands and want to see a bit more nature or countryside areas, go visit Friesland (that's where I live). Several of my Stockholm friends have visited it and all love it. Some of them have visited it several times already. There are 11 small cities (Dokkum is a hidden gem), the Wadden Islands are totally worth it (Ameland is my favorite), and there are beautiful national parks like Alde Feanen, and foresty areas near Bakkeveen and Appelscha that somehow look a bit Scandinavian here and there. It just shows a different side of what the country has to offer. Friesland also has its own language, Frisian. Besides that, you should also visit the city of Groningen which is not far from Friesland. It's a very lively city with a lot of young people. Loved the clips of Amsterdam! Happy to hear that you liked it there.

[@OskarandDan]

Thank you for the tips🙏🏼🥰

[@Bruce954]

14:12. - The Flowermarket is also known as the Scammarket. Be aware! 23:16 - In The Netherlands you can also travel by train and rent a bike on the trainstation (OV-fiets) to go to said countryside. You might need an OV-chipcard and the OV-Fiets product on it to do so though. Little bit more work, hopefully cheaper than a car...

[@randomamericansescreaction1590]

This is so cute! Out of pure curiosity, I am wondering if Oskar used to have a heavier accent when you began traveling? Because now he has NONE :0

[@OskarandDan]

It was heavier (read: confused😂) before we went to the US for college for a year!

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

Oskar, speaking as an older Irish gay man living 22 years in the U.K., both you and Dan are so handsome together and I’d love to see you two become a couple - I loved the part where you said goodbye to your Swedish Mum at London Heathrow, as I still have extended family living in the same village in Rural Ireland where I grew up and I try to visit them as often as I can from Manchester - I’d love to see you doing a video from Ireland, especially the beautiful West of Ireland, any county from Donegal to Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Limerick, Clare or Kerry - we Irish would love to see you visiting us and you can be assured of a warm “Cead Mile Failte” to our shores 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jorgemorillo482]

❤❤❤

[@petey960]

Hi if you guys ever decide to come to Australia you must try the croissants in Melbourne at Lune, apparently they were voted to have the best in the world. By the way love your videos.

[@Blood0range]

omg if i only had my passport! i would love to travel with both of you and eat all the yummy vegan foods 😋

[@keyboardfarmer6225]

It’s a bit chilly…standing outside my absolutely favorite restaurant in Amsterdam de Silveren Spiegel….The Silver Mirror! Fine Dutch dining.

[@andreacarboni6215]

At 12:05 I immediately visualised the scene from Bridesmaids... 🙂so glad you put up the clip

[@OskarandDan]

It was almost a replica of that conversation😂

[@ReyOfLight]

I'm not vegan, nor would I consider it (I have tried being vegetarian, and it just doesn't work out for me as a full time option) but as a huge fan of raspberries and raspberry flavored snacks, I had to try the new Magnum ice cream with some raspberry ripple in it last week, and it happens to be vegan. Can highly recommend! It was really good! The ice cream texture was a bit off for me who's used to dairy based ice cream, but the taste was really good! Also, you two are just great! Always an absolute joy to watch your videos! Might have to check out some of those places in Amsterdam sometime when I visit my boyfriend (I'm Swedish, my boyfriend is Dutch), my boyfriend doesn't live in Amsterdam, but his city is close enough even my Dutch standards, so just a simple train ride to visit Amsterdam. Both my boyfriend and I really like croissants and pain au chocolat too XD

[@jsb7975]

Amsterdam once was the biggest city in the world (16 hundreds) All capitals in Europe develloped after that. Amsterdam not so much (only end of 19th-century the city florished again, so much of the 16th and 17th century architecture has survived) Still there are big parts of streets and canals where you litterally walk 400 years back in time. When you get the smell of that historic periode mixed with the art of the Dutch golden age (first federal republic in Europe, before France and the U.S.) you truly get the time-machine....

[@Funky420Infotainment]

Seeing this makes me think weather you’ve really been before! 😮😂 maybe your normal travel speed is just too quick. Because the things you’re noticing are like the things I noticed the first time I went to Amsterdam.

[@OskarandDan]

Haha it was nine years ago and we've barely traveled in Europe for many years!

[@robcook7627]

Hi guys! Love your videos! I haven’t been to Amsterdam since before the pandemic, but it is one of my favorite cities to visit. If you have time, please go to Bistro Amsterdam for either lunch or dinner. The owner is wonderful and makes it a fun time. It is located on Prinsengracht 287H, the next block down from the Anne Frank House, between Anne Frank House and the Pulitzer Hotel. Safe travels!

[@LS-tj2ho]

Omg! I’m taking that same flight from LHR to AMS in May. How early should I be there to check in and go thru security? Just going there for the day and back that night. Thx!!!

[@johnsaintonge4529]

Love Amsterdam was there a few weeks ago. john xoxoxo

[@MusicAvi8Tr]

@OskarandDan so how about year 10 back in Amsterdam and with your wedding/commitment ceremony with us all invited? 😊

[@OskarandDan]

😆🫶🏼

[@TeunLos]

Could have said hi, awesome u visited my country for the 2nd time😅🤪

[@faarisisfinn]

Also I made a flight review video I hope Dan will like it!😊

[@life.with.sabine]

You are far better of buying a pack of stroopwafels from the grocery store or during a market than from the tourist traps.

[@maryannez5264]

I loved this video so much. Thank you for the way you explained veganism to everyone, it was so well done. I'm also vegan and I appreciated the way you explained why people are vegan. Oh my goodness my mouth was watering with the food and those croissants, oh la la. Thank you so much Dan and Oskar.

[@OskarandDan]

💚💚💚

[@user-em4fd9dv4g]

Cute couple

[@VeganTeacher]

Could you share the name of the hotel?

[@daanjansen9846]

I like the video! But I hope you don’t pay the price for the “stroopwafel” €15,00 is extreme expensive!😳 Normally in the Netherlands we pay €3,00 for a fresh hot stroopwafel. I hope you enjoyed the city. 🤗

[@JustSomeTommy]

Jag har inte bott i Sverige på ganska länge nu, men jag fattade som att det finns ganska mycket veganska val där med?

[@mattball2700]

When did you both go entirely plant-powered?

[@victorsolis3325]

[@hugo112max]

15:16 ,please never go to these kinds of stroopwafel shops. They are a tourist trap and overcharge you! €15 for a stroopwafel is insane

[@keithss67]

Like two little muffins

[@johnfrancismaglinchey4192]

Great to catch up with you guys again,,,,, and I must say,,,I’m always surprised that you’re the same size,,,,,,,based on the amount of eating you do,,,,you should be the size of a house. ✌✌✌✌✌✌❤❤❤❤

[@madaboutsnooker147]

are non-vegans allowed on the seoul trip ?

[@OskarandDan]

Of course!🫶🏼

[@MrAlvinSinfulSong]

You all only 26?!

[@parmentier7457]

You will never see Queen Maxima in Amsterdam, because the royal family lives in the third city of the Netherlands, The Hague. The Dutch royal family has never lived in Amsterdam, either in The Hague or, in the past, Brussels. The king and queen only come to Amsterdam when heads of state visit the Netherlands. You indicated that Jumbo City is cheap, actually this minimart is a more expensive supermarket version of the normal Jumbo supermarkets. I think Jumbo City is 10%-20% more expensive than regular Jumbo.

[@WarlockofSF]
