Sammmm! I adore you❤Thank you for allowing me to experience first hand your life in The Netherlands. I can only describe it as gezellig!! Thank you, to all the wonderful compliments from your subscribers. It’s only a continuous reflection of the warmth and kindness I received from all those I encountered in the the Netherlands. The rain didn’t put a damper on my experience. I enjoyed everything the day had to bring. I will journey back in the future. Until then, I will treasure the memories we made together on and off camera. ❤ mom

One of the most special moments of my life! I'll never forget this trip. Hope you all enjoy.

Echt hartverwarmend. Super gaaf dat je dit allemaal hebt kunnen delen met je moeder. Je boft wel behoorlijk met zo'n moeder en je moeder boft ontzettend veel met jou als haar zoon.

Wow your mom is an absolutely beautiful woman. Looks so young if you said she was your sister no one would doubt it. Glad you both had a wonderful time. She seems like a very warm and kind person. Hope this is one of her many visits to The Netherlands. 😊

You really went out of your way to show her diverse locations, such a good representation of our country. Dankjewel!

[erwintimmerman]

Wow. My first thought was "this is your MOTHER??" She looks so young, with the brightest smile and the kindest eyes, both of which she gave to you too. You both are the staple example of how inner beauty shines through to the outside. So good to see you have such great time together. Glad our tiny country could host those precious moments. You really did a fantastic job of showing her the gist of how it is to live here 👍👍

Mensen zoals jij maken ons stukje aarde toch net weer iets mooiers! Welkom in Nederland! je intregratie is opmerkelijk! :D goede representatie van ons land! Dank je wel!

[sander]

Big ups to this guy. Such a cheerful and positive fella. Respect for actually speaking Dutch too

[AlfaNickGaming]

Hey Sam, stumbled onto your channel. As a Dutch person I feel obligated to share that your Dutch is so good. Respect

[hildelouisevrijs]

Lieve Sam, je hebt de mooiste, jong uitziende moeder van de hele wereld! Ook leuk om te zien hoe hartelijk je “schoonouders” haar hebben ontvangen! Jammer dat een week zo kort is hè, maar ik hoop dat ze nog eens terugkomt! ❤Hil

I love it that you showed your mum several cities in the Netherlands and not only Amsterdam. She really seems to have enjoyed it.

It's been great to see you showing the Netherlands to your mother. Reminds me of the first time my Filipino father in law visited the Netherlands in 1997. Since then he has visited us regularly ( > 15 times) and every time I enjoyed him enjoying to be here. Whenever we had a trip planned he was the first waiting at the car in his smartest outfit. We visited most countries of Europe with him and our children and he loved every moment at every place. Sadly he passed away 2 years ago... enjoy the time with your family and enjoy life together

First off, your mother is a GORGEOUS lady. She has the kindest eyes and a beautiful smile. It was lovely seeing you showing her around. I hope she gets to visit again soon, and hopefully for a longer time. Bummer about the weather, and hopefully next time she’ll get to experience more and in sunnier circumstances.

[BarrieBM]

im flabbergasted how good your dutch is, wasnt it really difficult learning dutch? as a dutch person myself I always try to imagine how hard it must be for an english speaking person to learn dutch yet your dutch is really good.

[bellaluvluv]

So amazing made me cry. She is my friend and the most amazing person ❤. She loves her kids and will do anything for them ❤❤❤

[DikWhite]

What a great week you spent with your mom, Sam, and I'm glad she enjoyed her visit to the Netherlands. She is bound to come back again soon.

[maidenekker]

This is so lovely to see! I am so glad your mother liked the experience and for you to have been able to show her around. My son (he is 25) moved to Switzerland last year and I visited him two times. That was so nice, him showing me around in his new country. I also wanted to get a view of his daily live and went to the supermarket with him. Just the normal things, that made my image complete. Besides that we visited several cities and walked up mountains, it is a beautiful country. Now when we talk on facetime - he ususally calls when he is on a walk, I see his village and recognise it, that is so nice!

[GroundBeef]

Honestly, I really look up to your positivity. You've inspired me to be more positive and outgoing myself. It's really awesome to see this positivity reflected in the relationship you have with your mom. Truly, if everyone in the world was only 50% as kind as you guys are, this world would be truly amazing.

[oldman]

It's heartwarming to see that your mother enjoys herself so much. You have a charming, beautiful and sweet mom. ❤

Your mother is absolutely gorgeous!! I hope she’s had a wonderful time ! I’ve always wanted to show my American grandparents where I live, but unfortunately they can’t make it due to health problems. It’s nice to see others being able to enjoy Amsterdam and my country. Greetings from Nijmegen ❤️
