Expat Life
The Netherlands
You may have noticed the lack of posts on this website. There’s a good reason for that…we were planning our move to Amsterdam in the Netherlands! So, this is still a travel blog but it will focus on Amsterdam for a bit until we start our travels around Europe. We are trying to live like […]

The Netherlands
Can you read the title in Dutch? It says “Bacchus Wine Festival” I knew you could read it! What is the Bacchus WijnFestival? This is a fun, usually outdoor wine festival with wines from all over the world hosted by the wine shops and bars in Amsterdam. What is wine without food? A shame, that’s […]

When I think of Copenhagen, I think of bikes. Lots of bikes. Amsterdam seems to get attention as the most bike-friendly city, but in our experience, it was Copenhagen. Bikes are everywhere, but so are cars. The big difference between their bike system and ours in the U.S. is that they have lanes. I’m not […]
Iceland
We intentionally planned a long layover in Iceland to be able to go to The Blue Lagoon. We used Reykjavik Excursions for our trip from the Keflavík Airport to The Blue Lagoon. This was so easy for a few reasons. The first is that it is a 20-minute bus ride to the lagoon from Keflavik. You may […]

I think this post may help explain why there haven’t been any posts about our amazing trip. We are having travel withdrawal. It’s not just that we miss our vacation, but to review it and try to work on how to piece it together logically on the blog is difficult. It almost feels that once […]
