American's First Time in Netherlands! (Haarlem, Zandvoort, Amsterdam)

Thank you so much for watching!

Where should we go next? 🌏❓

[Lebberg]

Respect for actually going and experience it for yourself

[hardywoodaway]

as a german I like Netherlands a lot, very chill and family friendly and forward thinking people

[quincary]

As a Brit, I love The Netherlands and the Dutch people. Add the best American Youtuber (intelligent, inquisitive, articulate, sense of humour, nice understated delivery and accent) and you have a perfect relaxing video. Thank you, Joel.

Born and raised in Amsterdam, currently living in Zandvoort for 44 years and shopping in Haarlem I take it all for granted but it's nice to see things through your eyes, makes me more appreciative. Thank you and enjoy your stay in our tiny country.

First american tourist who gets visiting the Netherlands right. You have to experience it by bike, its so chill.
And the public bathroom situation in europe, you already found out by yourself how the europeans do it. nice! Either you go in a bar or restaurant and ask politely, most owner will let you use it without buying anything, or like you did, you just enjoy a small beverage.

Greetings from a jealous cyclist from germany ;-D

you are already Dutch, . you walk true the rain, bike true the rain and already ate some herring and took some beers with you. i hope you have a great time and maybe you will have some sun too

Biking in the Netherlands: The wind is always coming from the front, regardless of the direction you are traveling. 😅

very polite young man, enjoy your stay, glad to have you!

Welcome to the Netherlands! About that receipt. You have chosen the short receipt. that is to prevent paper waste. You can also opt for the normal receipt on which all products are specified. Have a nice time!

Glad you liked the Netherlands Joel. I’m from the UK and have been cycling around the Netherlands for over 20 years now. It’s just a great country with so much to see and the cycle infrastructure is second to none.

[JesusManera]

You really hit the nail on the head with how it's cars that create city noise, not people. A lot of US people who haven't experienced that, look at Euro cities and think "How could you live with all that noise?" but don't actually realise how quiet it is without fast vehicular traffic.

Also, cafe culture is fantastic. I'm from Melbourne, not Europe, but it's much the same here and a huge part of our city's culture. It's full of cafes where people can sit, relax, socialise, enjoy great coffee, it's a complete contrast to the corporate/Starbucks type culture of grabbing coffee on the run in the US.

There's a special vibe in your vlog videos, heartwarming, chilling, I just lay in my bed and I could watch them for hours

[colcollins]

Blimey! Good lad. I am impressed with you & your travelling. All credit to you.

I'm currently in Haarlem myself, visiting my partner's family, she has not been back in 35 years! But we had a great putting in Zandvoort, made it to Amsterdam, Delft, Den Haag, and Hoek van Holland on public transit. As a Canadian, we had to adjust to the traffic as well. What an awesome country to visit through public transit!

The herring is cured in brine and lightly fermented. The kibbeling is cod or whitefish.

MoreJps, 1000 thanks for not adding any annoying disturbing idiotic music throughout the video! The natural sounds are just as important to get to know as the real picture! I forgive you for the last two minutes. Great video

[ammelovmokum]

like your (very dutch) mindset: go biking with a decent raincoat close by, and not scared about what season you encounter that day(not made of sugar). Have a blast over here

[mischabronstring]

I was born and raised in Haarlem, still living quite nearby. Thank you for showing me 'my world' through different eyes, it makes me appreciate again what I have been taking for granted for long.

[HaraldSeiwert]

Coffeeshop in the Netherlands is for buying and consuming weed. A "real" coffee you get in a café.

[debuysio]

Great video dude, I myself live and work in the Amsterdam-Haarlem aria. Born and raised here.
Always nice to see someone's having a good time.
We often don't see it anymore, because it's so genuine, now i see it, s quite special.
Thnx and have a nice time in The Netherlands.
