Ever found yourself chuckling at the thought of smearing face paint for a national celebration or getting tangled in the hilarity of juggling oversized suitcases in a bustling city? That's where we kick things off on our latest adventure to Amsterdam! On this episode of The Bookish Hour; our escapades take us from the quirky encounters at the airport to the streets packed with King's Day revelers, painting a picture of a city that's as unpredictable as it is delightful. Alongside the joy of Dutch pastries and the marvel of snack vending machines, we find ourselves wrapped in the communal tapestry that only solo travel can weave.
FAB AND JOR ARE IN THE SAME SPACE!!
You won't want to miss the candid tales and light-hearted misunderstandings that are the heartbeat of our journey that we discuss in person together. From the confusion of gender-neutral bathrooms to the endearing mix-ups between cities and countries, our conversations uncover the comedic side of cultural nuances. We also take a moment to indulge in pop culture musings, contemplating the life choices of celebrities and the enigma of their seemingly ageless glow. And for the music aficionados, we share the adrenaline rush (and wallet groans) that come with snagging tickets to Taylor Swift's ERAS Tour (but also not really), proving that the pursuit of live music knows no borders.
As our laughter-filled session wanes, we dish out insider tips for diving into the King's Day festivities like a true Amsterdammer—think street vending and spontaneous dancing! Wrapping up, we muse over the importance of a solid action plan while also embracing the twists that come with going off-script. So plug in, prepare to giggle, and maybe even jot down a note or two for your next adventure, as we take you through the vibrant, whimsical streets of Amsterdam.
You don't want to miss this LIVE FROM AMSTERDAM! But actually this is still a recording and sadly we are not in the same space as this episode goes live, but when we recorded it, we were in the same room. Jor was in Amsterdam, visiting Fab.
