A Quick History of Amsterdam

Here's a quick zip through the almost 800 years of Amsterdam's history. I always do a short history summary at the start of my walking tours and have missed giving these during the corona lockdown. I decided to make a film of the summary and it ended up doubling in length. Here it is, I hope you enjoy it!

See the EXTREME BEAUTY of THE NETHERLANDS! (in just one day)



The Netherlands is a BEAUTIFUL country, but instead of reading about it below - just watch the video! We do our best to show you the highlights from our 5+ weeks in The Low Country. For those of you who want to make this a little more fun, here’s a pop quiz for you:

1) What is adventureViV’s secret tip for Amsterdam?
2) How old was adventureViV when she learned how to ride a bicycle?
3) What is the symbol of the Staverden Estate?
4) Where is the 103 bus going in Madurodam?
5) Which shipping company does the creeper in Rotterdam work for?

*Answer in the comments below for a custom adventureViV postcard!*

Groningen: Groningen is a charming student city in the Northern Netherlands and the perfect base for visiting the Netherlands’ barrier islands.

Schiermonnikoog: Due to the influence of the tides and its location between the Wadden Sea and the North Sea, the island has a climate that is different from that of the mainland. Schiermonnikoog is characterized by diverse landscapes including beaches, dunes, forests, tidal marshes, lakes and tidal flats.

Amsterdam: Visit the world-famous 17th century capital of Holland. Go for a boat tour on the canals, and stroll through Vondelpark. Amsterdam’s oldest houses, are a national treasure. Many of these stunning examples of architecture, found around the city’s Canal Ring, date back to the Dutch Golden Age when a building tax was calculated by the width of a property’s façade.

Dokkum: You don't even have to close your eyes to feel like you've gone back a few centuries! 

Burum: In this tiny town, you will find Windlust, a smock mill which was officially reopened in 2014 on Nationale Molendag - yes, the Dutch celebrate a National Mills Day.

Naarden: Naarden is an example of a Spanish star fort, complete with fortified walls and a moat.

Staverden: Staverden received its city rights in 1298 from the German King Rudolph but has never really become a true city. Staverden is officially the smallest city in the Netherlands.

The Hague: The Hague is the heart of Dutch politics where you will find beautiful museums filled with Dutch masterpieces. Visit the historic Binnenhof, or admire Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' at the Mauritshuis. Our favorites include Mesdag’s Panorama and Escher in het Paleis.

Madurodam: Visit Madurodam and discover all of Holland in a few hours. Ever since the opening in 1952 Madurodam has been one of the most iconic places in the Netherlands.
Muiderslot: The Muiderslot Castle is one of Holland’s most picturesque medieval castles.

Scheveningen: Let’s go to the beach! The Pier is one of the most notable icons in Scheveningen. Nearly 400 metres long and 45 metres high, it runs straight into the North Sea and offers a beautiful view of the village. *Video correction: the sun is setting over the North Sea (not the Atlantic!)*

Leiden: Leiden is a picturesque university city with many canals, ‘hofjes’ and museums. Leiden also has its own Hortus Botanicus, an impressive university garden filled with plants from around the world.

Rotterdam: Rotterdam is a city of many faces: a tough port city, a trendy modern city, and a hip artistic city. Check out the Maritime Museum when in Rotterdam to learn about Rotterdam’s role as a port city. Don’t miss a walk over the Erasmus Bridge. At its highest point, the Erasmus bridge is 139-meters tall. Known as the 'Erasmusbrug' in Dutch, the bridge has also been lovingly nicknamed The Swan (‘De Zwaan’) by locals due to the distinctive shape of that one, asymmetrical pylon.

Zoetermeer: It’s got everything you need! Zoetermeer was our homebase for our entire stay in the Netherlands - thanks to our wonderful hosts! We miss our daily trips to Albert Heijn in the Meerzicht with Miss Moneypenny. We’ll be back soon!

NEXT TIME: Catch us chasing summer in Portugal!

Everyone is smiling in these countries!

Welcome to another video on our channel, in this video I'm going to talk about the 10 happiest countries in the world.

Happiness is a difficult thing to measure, but one initiative at the United Nations has been trying to figure it out. Every year, the U.N. Sustainable Development Solutions Network publishes its World Happiness Report—a study that examines the connections between happiness and development, all while encouraging policymakers to place more of an emphasis on the former. Around 1,000 people in each U.N. member state rate their quality of life on a scale from 0 to 10, while researchers cull data from six areas: GDP per capita, life expectancy, social support, trust and corruption, perceived freedom to make life decisions, and generosity.

Without much ado, check out which countries these are.

Digital nomads in the Canary Islands - Who? Why? Where? How?

Everything you ever wanted to know about being a digital nomad and the best places to be one.
There has been a lot of negativity on the various forums about Digital Nomads, so in this video I attempt to show you a different perspective and to introduce you to some of these people. I thought some of you might find it interesting - if you do give me a thumbs up & remember to subscribe. Also, please feel free to leave me any comments or questions below - I really enjoy reading them & will always respond.

The Interviews:
I chose a random selection of people to interview who responded to my request on the forums - I did not know their age, their nationality or what they did for a living before I met them.

There are some misconceptions about what a digital nomad is:
Backpackers, hippies with a laptop, party animals, cheapskate, surf-bum - are just a few that I have heard and seen

So let’s start by clearing up these misunderstandings with a few facts:

What is a Digital Nomad?
Digital nomads are people who use telecommunications technologies to earn a living and conduct their life in a nomadic manner. Such workers often work remotely from foreign countries, coffee shops, public libraries, co-working spaces, or recreational vehicles.
