my amsterdam playlist (spotify)
i’m not quite sure exactly when it started or what started it but for as long as i could remember or for as long as i knew where europe was, i’ve always wanted to go to amsterdam. i’ve been to europe once before (italy and switzerland) but the trip wasn’t particularly favorable in my book so i’m glad to say that i loved this trip to europe with all my heart.
BEFORE THE TRIP
the idea of going to amsterdam came to me in late november when i realized that i had absolutely no plans for my birthday and i HATE staying home for my birthday. why would you stay home when there’s a world to see? it was just my luck that azul texted me asking why we dont have matching tattoos(which is a lie because we got tattoos together in italy). if you know me you know i only get tattoos on vacation so that meant that the only option was to go on a trip and get tattoos.
here is the literal proof of how fast we decided to book our trip. we waited until travel tuesday (december 3rd) and we were able to score round trip airfare for around $557 per person through scandinavian airlines. honestly, for how “last minute” the trip planning was, at least in my book, we got really really good deals. we waited until a month after booking our flights (january 2nd so not exactly a month) to book our accomodations but even then prices were phenomenal. between azul and i we both spent $311 for our amsterdam airbnb and $40 each for our night in copenhagen. so bare minimum spending on this trip was around $908! but with that price came consequences (as expected.)
first downfall: we had to stop in copenhagen on our way there AND back. but that really wasn’t an issue at all because that just meant we had more places to explore. second downfall: it was $75 to check your luggage in PER LEG. so because we went from sfo to copenhagen to amsterdam and did the same route back essentially, that would mean we’d have to pay to check in our bag 4 different time… 4 x 75 = 300. me personally, i’m not spending $300 to check a bag in ONE BAG. for that price i could add on another leg of the trip. so… absurd. third downfall, it was really cold but that’s what happens when you travel in the off season!!! so obviously there are MINOR downfalls that could all be avoided if you 1. have a bigger budget and 2. don’t travel in winter/off season. in my personal professional opinion, it was well worth the money.
DURING THE TRIP
THE AIRPORT
less than 3 short months after booking our airfare, february 10th creeped around the corner and the time came for us to finally head across the pond. we left ourselves plenty of time to get to the airport and get settled. after my canada airport trip from hell fiasco (missing 2 flights, having to go to colorado???, and throwing up on myself) i was leaving NO room for mistakes. and as soon as we got there we made a mistake :D! you know how when you pull up the the international terminal it’ll tell you which airlines check in at what gate? well apparently google maps doesn’t know where scandinavian airlines (sas) leaves from but our boarding passes said terminal G. and following the signs they have posted outside led us to a parking garage where we had to get dropped on on what i think was the fourth floor. after passing through security we had to trek across the whole entire airport, and i’m not joking we covered the WHOLE thing. FOR ALL FELLOW TRAVELERS SAS LEAVES OUT OF TERMINAL 3 AT THE G GATES! in the end it was worth it because i was hungry as hell and guess what they had right outside our gate? GOTT’S! since they didn’t have their hot dog that i’m absolutely obsessed with, i finally had the chance to try their teriyaki chicken sandwich (i’ve been meaning to for so long because their chicken parmesean sandwich is GASSSSS so obviously this one had to be but i’m blinded by the glizzy) and boy am i glad that i experienced that bad boy. i’m not one for sandwiches but i literally INHALLED it within four minutes of sitting down. glad to say it washed down well with a cucumber/hibiscus margarita.
the vibes to say the least were immaculate. and the of course we mossied on down to our gate where we waited for around 30 minutes playing our ds before it was time to offically embark on our voyage.
let me just tell you something. whatever flight attendants were working on sas flight sk936 were not having a good day or a demon crawled up every one of their asses and possesed them. before we had even sat down in our seats we had beef with them. the first issue being that their overhead compartments on the outer aisles of the plane will not fit your carry on bag even if it’s within the size regs because of how curved they are so the bins will only close if your bags are in the center most overhead bins. we were in the very back of the plane and there were still people boarding behind us so we weren’t really bothering anyone because no one needed to get past us. so the old hag of a flight attendant told azul that we needed to move the bags.. so she gets up to move the bag (which obviously not a big deal because how else was the bin supposed to close) and the lady KICKS azul to move past her!!!!!! so off rip, the vibes are off. then the old balding guy was not happy that i was watching a movie with my headphones on because i didn’t realize he was talking to me for a millisecond and when i asked him to repeat himself he said “you shouldn’t wear headphones if you can’t pay attention” and then he snatched azul’s blanket away from her towards the end of our flight. but all the other legs of the trip the flight attendants were lovely. so not sure what happened with them but maybe it’s because they were old (the only non miserable one was the young one.) also it may seem like i don’t like old people from this paragraph but it’s really just these mean, miserable ones that i have an issue with. #oldpeoplearecool
landing in amsterdam can be a little hectic because it’s such a major hub. first off the taxi back to the gate from the landing strip i swear to you is like a solid 20 minutes. it’s almost like the takeoff/landing strips are off site. but enjoy the peace before you’re thrown into the chaos of AMS. it’s cheaper, maybe not easier, to take the train to centraal station and find your accomodation from there than uber or taxi in most cases. so once you collect youself and get ready to go you gotta heave to head down to the train terminal (to my memory it was m arked with a 3). we used the 9292 app to buy our transit tickets and city mapper to fully figure the route out because the 9292 will tell you which stations to be at and how to get there when buying tickets, but it doesn’t give you directions after you purchase. but citymapper has always been clutch as hell (mom and i have used it in nyc and milan… gift from above, it’ll literally tell you exactly what train car you need to be in and everything) and will always give yoiu the fastest most direct route. BE MINDFUL OF WHICH DOORS ARE THE IN DOORS AND WHICH ONES ARE THE OUT. locals will obviously get annoyed with you and it’s hard to tap out but if you buy single tickets like we did/tickets that were valid for 60 minute periods, tapping out isn’t too big of a deal. the streets are so extremely narrow and driving is kinda hard therefore uber takes FOREVER to pick you up AND take you to where you need to be. it is cheaper at night tho and kinda nice to take when you wanna turn your brain off; otherwise PUBLIC TRANSIT IS YOUR BFF it’s cheap, east, and fast. also don’t make the same mistake i did and figure out if you’re gonna use roaming from your cell phone provider or find a good reliable e-sim to use because not having access to your maps and directions is not ideal and hard as hell but people are nice and will help you if you’re nice.
pro tips:
tsa precheck is always great to have but global entry is better and it includes precheck 😀 and one time i met keliin quinn from sleeping with sirens in a precheck line (the day of my aiport trip from hell)
when coming back into the us, use the mobile passport app (MPC) to bypass long custom lines
if you prefer over the head headphones, remember the aux cord to connect it to the in flight entertainment
WHEN IN AMSTERDAM
our airbnb was just a little bit west from the city center but we were perfectly positioned between the 21 bus stop and the 13 tram stop which would both take us directly into the city where we could tranfer if needed. tickets were NEVER more than 5 euros and they were typically valid for around an hour which was helpful when we would hop on the wrong bus line and have to switch over to correct ourselves. but everyday is an adventure and navigating public transport in a foreign country is always half the adventure. i will say i prefer the italian metro.
our very first night there was very rainy but what else do you expect in mid february in the somewhat far north? regardless, we made the <30 minute trek to an indian food restaurant that i had on my list, ashoka, which i would recommend to EVERYBODY it was amazing. food, drinks, ambiance, the whole shabang was perfect.
@ashokaamsterdam on instagram
and since we already walked 30 minutes in the rain, after dinner we had to walk some more to see the sights. when in amsterdam baby!! i HATE wasted time in cool ass places what can i say? we ended up strolling through the red light district looking at all the girls and all the guys going crazy for them in the windows until we ended up getting invited into some random bar by the bartender to have a spiked hot choclate which was PERFECT because i swear it was only like 20 degrees out with a good breeze going on so it warmed me up better than any normal hot cocoa could. anyways since we were in amsterdam we obvioussllyyyy stumbled into a coffee shop called green place right across the plaza from the nieumarkt 4. where i got a cali kush joint because i’m a california girl that knows her california tree so. typically i don’t get high but boy did i have a good buzz going and i fell asleep so fast.
day 1
we started our very first full day out as early as we possibly could (the sun hadn’t even come up) because we were on a time crunch to do as much as we possibly could as fast as we possibly could because time flies when you’re having fun.
we made the wise decision to kickstart the trip with the anne frank huis museum because not only is it iconic, but it’s interesting and really sad, not to mention it books up really quickly so it’s better to do it early to get it out of the way. plus if you go early it’ll still be busy but a lot less busier than if you went later in the day for sure.
anyways we started super early so that we would be able to grab brekafast/a bev before being in a museum for over an hour. azul found this little spot called koffiehuis de hoek but on our walk their this weird guy in jeans was running up behind us so i told azul to move out of his way but then as soon as he got past us he stopped and started typing something on his phone and showing azul and apparently my man was in love with her and wanted to take pictures with her because he started typing something again and when he showed me it said soemthing along the lines of “tell your friend she’s so beautiful and i want to take apicyure with her” so azul agrees to take a picture with him AND THEN HE ASKS ME FOR A PICTURE so i reluctantly do so (bad bad choice) and my man had like a death grip on my neck and tried to tick his finger in my mouth so we ran away and that was our morning coffee. going from that to the anne frank huis was a crazy vibe switch up.
if the audio tour at the museums are free or less than 5 euros.. do them!! they’re so interesting and without them museums would suck. luckily the ones at anne frank and van gogh are freeeeeeee.
anyways after that we headed on back to haarlemmerstraat to grab some matcha, pastries, thrift, and get tattoos. WHHHYYYY is the view from the stussy store so beautiful? if there were a retail store i’d want to work at it would be there because it’s so small, they barely have any stock, and THE VIEW!!!!!!!! all the little shops in that area are so good and it’s so very dangerous to be there on a budget because there are SO many vintage/thrift stores speckled throughout. i kid you not we stopped at at least 6 different shops within like 3-4 blocks or whatever you wanna call them there. PACK OH SO VERY LIGHT. you will blow a bag. i think that this day was just a day of luck because all the original tattoo spots that we found were closed but because of that we found d. ink & art amsterdam and we were able to walk in and get tattoos right away plus the artist was cool as hell but that may just be because i have a habit of talking my tattoo artists ears off. but hey if they respond to me i’m gonna keep talking so. they were also really big fans of the ear tattoo that azul was getting. we also didn’t have enough cash so our artist guided us to the nearest atm and fully trusted us to leave and come back.. he didn’t eve ask for collateral but i left him my sunglasses in case. after that lucky find it was time for lunch and we were literally just walking down the street looking at whatever menus were posted in the window when we found probably my favorite place in amsterdam….. lucca due. it was some of the best lasagna ever ever had and i LOVE a good barbera to wash my pastas down. and trust i CLEARED my plate. and then we quite literally spent the entire day shopping. but maybe that’s why it was my favorite day?? to top it off we ended the day in a coffee shop again but this one, lost in amsterdam, was on my want to go list which made it more exciting. one downfall was they only take cash until 8pm but that just meant we had to sit there for 40 minutes and have some drinks and have a smoke!! azul said her smoothie was really really good and my cocktails were really sweet, but i like sweet so that means they’re good in my book but after i had my smoke i was so beat down and out of it from the day that it was time to make the walk home. and of course i was in charge of directions so i 100% got us lost and we walked past our airbnb like twice but we made it in the end.
day 2
another day of waking up before the sun… but that’s how you know you’re sleeping good that night and you can’t be bored during the day cause there’s so much to do! we started our day at the van gogh museum but not before stopping at williemsparkweg for a quick coffee and dirty chai + we had really really good pastries there but i cannot for the life of me remember what they were. but guys i SWEAR to you miss lady gaga was working at the van gogh museum. i clocked her as soon as everyone started lining up before opening and i automatically KNEW it was miss stephanie. and when i asked her if anyone had told her they were identical before she said “yes it’s scary” and i felt bad. i didn’t mean to catch her out of her drag.
the van gogh museum is really cool….. BUT!!!!! both the starry night and the head of a skeleton with a burning cigarette were both on loan outside of the museum and those were the paintings we were most excited for.
i know that your friends are a big part of who you are and they influence your life in many ways bit it felt like more than half of the van gogh museum was dedicated to his friends and brother than him. it’s very vincent focused for the first floor and a half but then it just goes to his homies. but i can’t lie, they did have really cool works in there so regardless it’s worth the visit… one of the better museums that we visited in my personal, professional opinion.
after the museum we had HELLA time between our next museum visit. so we took a little walk down the road and found a little cafe called lunchcafe de spiegel that i saw really good reviews for but it was….. interesting. i didn’t hate it because my irish coffee was good and my sandwich didn’t taste bad or anything but it was literally just chopped up chicken and bread but hey i’m a simple girl.they also had like a whole patio remodel or something going on bercause they fully rearranged the outside seating just to put it all away… and then start sawing stuff??? i don’t know it was interesting but to each their own i guess. it was a nice warm place to get ot of the cold, have a drink, and fill our stomachs a bit. afterwards we just mossied around walking, talking, and shopping.. my usual get up u til we ended up at the bulldog coffee shop that’s in an old police station. downstairs where you can actually buy bud is the old jail cells and i must say its cool as hell. the tree in amsterdam is VERY different than california tree in my opinion because it’s a lot heavier of a body high so be careful and don’t over do it!
after we rested our legs at the coffee shop… it was time for more shopping. this whole trip was basically a shopping trip to be so honest. but all the little shops near the museumplein are a totally different vibe than haarlemmerstraat. this area was more like antiquey, mom and pop shop kinda vibe… but they also still had trendy spots like miffy, h&m, and all the works so there was still good variety. but this is also the area where i lost my favorite glove ever because i was sifting through photo prints outside a shop and i put it under my armpit, forgot about it, walked away, and when i inevitably lifted my arm… she was gone with the city. sad, sad, cold day. the rest of the trip was a little brutal with only one glove. but i also have this area to thank for introducing me to my girl miffy. a true dutch icon. i’m sad we didn’t know until we left that there are miffy street lamps and traffic lights!!!!!

and finally we made our way back to the moco museum which was… interesting. the entire museum is in a house probably no bigger than the benicia state capitol building. but inside they had pieces from banksy, kieth haring, andy warhol, jean-michel basquiat, kaws, and a handful of others. granted the pieces were really cool and tickets were only $25…. it was REALLY crowded even though it was almost 6pm, and it was really small so i felt kinda rushed through. but at the very end you go into the basement and they have more like.. light-installation art which was also pretty cool, just crowded so hard to enjoy. i think that moco is worth it if you’re really into contemporary art but if you aren’t able to make it… it isn’t something to cry about. ⠀⠀
afterwards we walked about 20 minutes to one of the coolest restaurants ever, secret garden. i was kinda worried when we walked in that we wouldn’t be able to be sat because theres a dark, heavy velvet curtain seperating the hostest stand from the dining room and their ipad looked full as hell. but nonetheless after 2 short minutes we were able to be sat at the bar which is ideal for me. the interior of this place might be one of the coolest designs i’ve ever seen… there was a PEACOCK in the back, more private dining room???? i really regret not taking a picture but that just means you have to go yourself!! plus there are disco walls lining your walk to the bathroom upstairs. everything was honestly a win here. it wasn’t as expensive as i would’ve thought because…. ambiance, but the food was really fricking good but maybe i was just hungry (but absolutely NOTHING to go, it’s a rule), but the cocktails were ALSO really good. the bartender knew off rip that i’m from sf because i ordered a paper plane and new york sour (the real tests of a good bartender in my book) and he had to look them up but they were damn good (even though there was no amaro.)
anyways on our walk home i’m pretty sure we stopped at the hoxton hotel to use the real film photo booth just outside of the lobby restaurant and let me just say… be prepared for the photos to start immediately, with no count down, no screnn…. NOTHING. so have your poses prepped and ready to go. and then you have to wait 5 minutes for the film to develop but while it’s developing, you can’t take anymore photos. but it’s worth the 8 euros because it’s a cool souvenir. also it’s kinda dark so i pointed my flashlight at myself!!!! i’ll insert a photo later.
this night i think i got us lost again because i made us get on the wrong bus and then we had to add an extra 20 minutes to our adventure home and we had to walk across a dark park. but honestly i never felt unsafe once while out here… even the morning of the anne frank house.
but another day in the books!
day 3… galentine’s!!!!
valentine’s day was a DAY. this was the only day we kiinnddaa got to sleep in but by that i mean we woke up after the sun rose… at 8am!!! and this day… this day introduced me to a true love in my life. shakshuka. i love valentine’s day so much and this was the best possible breakfast i could ever have. we headed over for florentin brunch and they were BUSY; but they were able to get us sat pretty damn quickly they just wanted us out in an hour. i ordered the orange juice and typically i would say i’m a pretty big pulp fan but what i didn’t expect was for the orange juice to be 97% pulp and 3% juice, stilll.. it was good. and obviously i’m a three bev kinda girl so i had a water, oj, AND a chai latte. then came the star. shakshuka. a bed of spicy bell pepper tomato sauce accompanied with 2 poached eggs (i kinda just want the yolks next time), and the BEST challah bread i’ve ever had the luxury of tasting. never in my life would i expect myself to enjoy a dish like this but it was so beautiful i went to bed thinking about it. and if you’ve been around me since february chances are i’ve told you about shakshuka and my love for it. also if you haven’t noticed i don’t really remember what azul ate 100% of the time, but if i do it’s typically in these linked instagram posts. sorry azul.
anyways, then 11am rolled around and it was time to drink beer!! so we walked maybe 10 minutes down the road to the heineken experience and i must say i was thoroughly impressed i enjoyed it a lot more than i thought i would. you basically start out in a big room and your “guide” explains how the tour works (it’s guided for like 5 minutes and then you’re free to move at your own pace and see all the little knick knacks.) and explains to you how the beer is made. if you’re a good girl and you pay attention, when they ask questions and you answer right you can win a free beer or in my case a free heineken pin!!! my pin sits proudly on my heineken apron heheh. most of the experience had to do with sports like f1 and soccer so there was a part where you could literally play fifa on a playstation???? but they also had cool little photo booths where you could do bike karaoke and just play with all the random filters. you guys know i’m a freak for a photo booth. i forgot what i did before each group gets sent to the bar (it feels like disneyland) but i won an extra beer so ….. proost?!?!?! (dutch cheers)
before the afternoon had hit i was 3 beers deep and ready to conquer the rest of the day. mind you azul is dead sober this entire trip except for when i make her try my drinks. we got done a lot faster than we had initally planned for so we decided that instead of stressing ourselves out taking public transit, we would walk to the amaze museum so that we could see all the sights and really take in amsterdam. it started out really nice because we were in the middle of the hustle and bustle, we stopped to get coffee, you know, the works. but mind you this is a 6 kilometer walk that’s supposed to take like an hour and a half. after about an hour it got rural as hell and we were essentially just walking through a park for like half an hour just to end up in an industrial park. but we made it and on the way there we got to see ONE windmill (the only one the entire trip) and we got to see all the canals and little streams freezing over.
why did we laugh at rocks and sticks breaking ice on the frozen canals for so long on our delusional ass trek across town?
when we finally got to amaze, i was able to get a cocktail that kinda changed my life… the amaze me baby: larios rose, lemon, strawberry puree, simple syrup, and rose water. SO PHENOMENAL. i’ve doctored my own version (posted in the recipe tab) and i’m proud to say it’s one of my best cocktails.
this is the kinda place you go after a good coffee shop visit or after indulging in a good truffle, but if your group isn’t big enough you’re gonna have to go in with randos like we did.
i won’t say too much because it basically was just an interactive light show for the most part but it was cool! don’t cry if you miss i though.. the best part was my cocktail and the swing simulator thingmabob.
afterwards we had to RUSH to get to centraal station to hop on our canal tour and this is where we really learned our lesson with uber. typically the whole trip we only ubered at night when we were ready to go home because that’s when it was the cheapest and easiest but even then it would take the ubers forever to come and forever to get home too. we figured maybe in the middle of the day we can get matched with a driver faster… no. it took 10 minutes to even find a driver, then 20 minutes for him to come, and then an extra 15 to get to the damn place and obviously i led us in the wrong direction but we still made it and people were even later than us!!! pro tip.. don;t do the bulldog canal tour if you really wanna learn because they don’t say much you’re really just there to smoke and have a drink. but on the brightside they have a bathroom AND blankets(thank god.)
after we deboarded the boat it became crunch time to find somewhere to eat but i don’t know why i was so stupid and made absolutely no reservations for the entire trip except for museums. we literally just ran off of luck and good vibes. so after getting turned away from spot after spot because obviously they’re booked up for valentine’s day we found la zoccola del pacioccone where we sat outside for 20 minutes waiting for a table to clear up but thank god we showed up when we did because then a crowd starting waiting after us so not only did we get to sit and wait, we also were sat a hell of a lot quicker than them. thank god for places with no reservations.
we got in quickly, i got the house red, azul got a fanta. she got the margherita, i got the marinara. we’re simple, hungry girls really. everything about it was so good just our table was to small. also am i the only person embarassed to eat pizza in europe because they don’t slice it but you get a knife and fork and everything i know goes out of the window.
a good final last day in amsterdam. how bittersweet.
day 4
the only thing we managed to do before our flight to copenhagen was head back down to the city center meanwhile lugging our suitcases through the uneven, cobblestone roads and through all the public transit. it was hard as hell and i’ve been on the hunt for a good backpacking backpack so if you have ANY suggestions please let me know!!! we landed on ivy and bros and i’m quite literally just writing this section of the blog to let you know a few things.
1. i never eat eggs and i ate hella eggs in amsterdam AND ENJOYED IT!!
2. rolling suitcases are NOT ideal for europe
3. like i said earlier pay attention to the in and out door on public transit
4. keep in mind there aren’t a lot of escalators or elevators so you’re LUGGING your bags
WHEN IN COPENHAGEN
after our flight was delayed for an hour due to a snow storm we finally made it to copenhagen. the silver lining was that we got to experience snow AND we got to walk on the tarmac which i loooooveeeeee.
danish public transit is a lot harder than dutch because atleast i can kind of understand dutch but danish i am lost as hell. anyways by the luck of god we made it to our hotel and it was right across the street from the train station.
an important detail about this hotel is that i booked it only because it was cheap and it was closer to the city center than other hotels in its price point because i wasn’t really dying to stay in a hostel. BUT! i was watching atlanta and in the episode where they go to copenhagen and amsterdam, when earn walks out of his copenhagen hotel… it was hotel obsterport…. OUR HOTEL! and i didn’t even know until after i booked… how cool.
it was late when we got there but we couldn’t not experience the city so then began the hunt of trying to find somewhere to eat again. EVERYWHERE was packed and i should’ve known because when beau and i were in canada in december, we went out with kaedon and his friends, and his friend eric literally studied abroad in copenhagen and told me that everything gets booked up fast as hell and to make reservations far in advance. i still didn’t listen and that’s how we ended up eating cardboard pizza from a rando spot called kebaben. but the show must go on.
even though it was snowing and i kept slipping on ice patches, we got some hot cocoa and walked around nyhavn. i’m glad we did that because it was straight out of a postcard and it felt like a winter wonderland.
taking the train from the hotel to the airport was harder than getting to the hotel!! it may honestly be easier to drive but i’m stupid and i couldn’t even figure out what platform to leave from until i finally asked a nice lady with a dog for help. and even then after we got on the train i made us get off just to get right back on. regardless, we made it on time. that really concludes our european adventure but i want to leave you with this important piece of knowledge…
their airport security is VERY strict about liquids and you have to take them all out of your bag and place them in a tiny ziploc bag and whatever doesn’t fit… goes. i had to get rid of my favorite travel cetaphil containers and my beloved sunscreen. i don’t know how i made it through 2 diffferent airports with them but leaving copenhagen is where they drew the line.
TAKEAWAYS
i think that obviously with more time and research, your trip could be a lot more dialed in. because i only really had 2 full months to plan i feel that i didn’t get to plan to my full extent to make the best itinerary possible but still, i’m beyond satisfied with the trip. i’m not too sure if it’s better to stay in a hotel vs an airbnb because we got our airbnb for a pretty good price (about $622 for 4 nights) considering we were close to two of the main bus lines, we had our own apartment, and we had access to a full kitchen (but not a freezer!!). we also weren’t more than a 20 minute bus ride or 30 minute walk from centraal station. i will say though, hotels were similar in price (typically being a little more expensive especially if a hostel isn’t your vibe) but they were closer to the city center. i definetely don’t think that you need a kitchen at all though because the most we did in there was wash our water bottles, make tea, and only ONCE did i reheat leftovers and eat them. maybe for a trip longer than a week i would recommend an airbnb, otherwise a hotel may be better. also airbnbs typically don’t have elevators.. obviously, so you are gonna have to carry your bags up and down very narrow steps.
allow yourself time to realy see and take everything in
leave yourself a lot of room in your suitcase because you’re almost garunteed to find something you wanna bring home
anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk and obviously i’m not a pro but i had a good time and i really enjoyed doing my research for this trip.
xoxo,
tata
p.s. we obviously didn’t go to all the places but all are good contenders!!
