WHERE I'VE BEEN

• Bike riding in Amsterdam . It was cold and Dutch kids laughed at me taking selfies. I was excited to tell everyone we were riding omafiets , just like the one I have at home (everyone makes fun of me for it).
• Inadvertently eating raw meat throughout the Netherlands. The first was ossenworst at the Brouwerij 't IJ in Amsterdam. The second was broodje haring on too much bread and not enough sauce in Delft . I will eat practically anything and travel is the best excuse to try everything.
• Watching Birdman at a Pathé theater in Amsterdam while my friends tried to get drunk and high at the Bulldog. I then proceeded to lose my camera in the theater. This is why I lack enough photographs of the rest of my travels through the Netherlands (I do go back for the camera).
• Riding park bikes through the Hoge Veluwe forest. No one knew that this was going to happen and a lot of people were unprepared. I found it to be the best way to relax after days of mad dashing about the Netherlands . The trees were tall, there were plains with dunes, there was a statue in the mid...
