My Travel Itinerary
Some journeys are planned, some just unfold. Here's how mine did — one day at a time.
Day 1 – Arrival and First Impressions
Landed in Amsterdam just as the skies turned golden. Checked into a cozy heritage canal house. No agenda. Just wandered around, soaking in the city's quiet charm, cycling locals, and the comforting clink of coffee cups.
Day 2 – Keukenhof and Countryside Trails
Took the early bus to Keukenhof. It was everything the postcards promised — and more. Later, I detoured through tulip fields on a bike. Met an elderly couple who’ve lived here for 40 years. They gave me homemade stroopwafels.
Day 3 – Slow Mornings and City Stories
Spent the morning reading by the canal. Visited a local bookstore, had a long conversation with the owner about Dutch poetry and migration. Wandered into a flea market and found an old map from the 1950s.
Day 4 – Leaving the City, Not the Mood
Packed up slow. Wrote postcards. Took one last walk along the quiet canals. Caught a train to Bruges — a new chapter begins, but I’m already nostalgic for this one.

Travel Notes & Tips
- 🧳 Pack light but don’t forget a journal. Some things need to be written by hand.
- 🚲 Rent a bike — especially in Amsterdam. You’ll see the city from a different rhythm.
- 🗺️ Step off the guidebook occasionally. Let serendipity guide your day.
- 🎧 Make a playlist. Certain songs will forever remind you of specific streets.
- 🕊️ Leave time unplanned. That’s where the real stories begin.
More days, more stories coming soon.
Each day adds a thread to the tapestry. And I’m just getting started.
