You guys, I just got back from one of the most fun trips of my LIFE! I flew to Amsterdam last week and took full advantage of my short time there.

Some quick highlights:

Van Gogh & Rijksmuseum

I Amsterdam sign

Vondelpark- I stayed right near this gorgeous place.

Heineken Experience- this was a BLAST. Tour of the brewery, boat ride to A’Dam, interactive experiences, bottling your own beer, everything!

A’Dam Lookout- come onnnnn, more like AmsterDAMN.

Over the Edge- because why not?

Anne Frank House- Truly an eye-opening and overwhelming experience to tour this annex and learn about this incredible young woman’s life and how her words have impacted us.

Dutch Pancakes & Coffee

Floating Market

Canal Tour- By the way, 12,000-15,000 of these bad boys get pulled out of the canals every year!

Light Festival- so, so beautiful! Photographs don’t do justice. From November 30-January 21st, so I definitely picked the right time to go!

(These are just Christmas lights- but still, how spectacular?!)

Dam Square

Jordaan/Leidseplein neighborhoods

Red Light District

I made fast friends with these lovely lads from Ireland and we had an amazing night out!

I also got to see the charming countryside of the Netherlands:

Zaandam-  Behind me is the only working mill in the world that still makes paint.

Volendam

I tried kibbeling here, too. Delicious!

And I’ll leave you all with this bathroom stall wisdom from Friday night:

Catch you wildly beautiful people somewhere in the world next time!
