Holland
Most people associate Amsterdam as their primary destination in Holland/The Netherlands, but I was fortunate enough to have a friend in Haarlem known as "Little Amsterdam" and it ended up being one of the cutest places I've been, like a true storybook town. We rented bikes for the weekend, which is the main mode of transportation, and trekked all over town. Considering the only other Harlem I could associate with was the one in Manhattan, this version was a welcomed surprise.
I also made my way into Amsterdam, a place I hadn’t been to since college. I’d forgotten the beautiful river ferry’s, cobblestone roads, beautiful parks and quaint little store fronts. It was wonderful to be able to make my way back, and reinforced my love for Europe.
