Even after living in the Netherlands for three years I was excited to take part in the Jordaan Amsterdam Food Tour. The tour includes twelve food tastings over the course of four hours. You’ll get the chance to sample most of the well known foods in Dutch cuisine. Although we’ve run across many of these …
A few weeks ago I was double-checking a few things and noticed that my passport had less then 6 months to expiration. That may seem like plenty of time to process a renewal but many countries won’t let you enter with a passport that expires in the next six months. I immediately scheduled an appointment …

I found myself a few blocks outside of Amsterdam’s busy core in a more residential neighborhood. I was strolling around Amsterdam. I honestly can’t say exactly where I was. A friend and I were out for a walk and couldn’t take the crowds much longer. We walked a few blocks away from the congestion and …
I recently read an article that tackled the question, “Tuscany or Provence?” That was the first time I thought of the two locations comparatively.
