Nethyland: day 11
Good morninggg. I actually woke up about an hour earlier than I was planning to today. So, it gave me the perfect opportunity to find the nearest apothecary to buy some ibuprofen. It worked out very well actually and I got a latte on my way back. Then we made the short walk to the…
Nethyland: day 10
Morning y’all. Today’s start was at 9 am. I actually woke up very easily today but I am starting to get very worn down. I am feeling the effects of little sleep and all of that walking so i’m afraid i’m getting kinda sick. However, we took a tram and a train to go to…
Nethyland: day 9
Supppp. Today we met up at 9ish to head to VU to take a look at their engineering campus. We then got a quick little tour around the building and a summary of the school. We got a tour of their newest building and it was absolutely gorgeous. Their engineering school doesn’t seem to be…
Nethyland: day 8
Hello and welcome to a lovely Sunday morning. Today, we met up at 10 in the morning to head over to a large vintage market. We got to go on a ferry which makes our 3rd boat ride of the trip. I love me a good thrift store so I was really excited to go…
Nethyland: day 7
We woke up in Rotterdam today and left the hostel at 8:30. Unfortunately, my phone charger had unplugged from the wall in the middle of the night so my phone died and my alarms did not go off. I wanted to wake up earlier because I keep sleeping through breakfast. Luckily, I was able to…
Nethyland: day 6
We all started our day by meeting at 8 to catch a train to Rotterdam. There was a bit of an issue that canceled our first train so we had to wait a bit longer to get in a slower train. I sat next to a group of Italian tourists and worked on my knitting…
Nethyland: day 5
Hello again! Today was certainly interesting. Out start time was a little later today at noon so I got my chance to catch up on some of my sleep. We headed straight to the Red Light District on the metro to take a look at MX3D’s 3D-printed bridge that stretches over one of the canals….
Nethyland: day 4
Good morning! The early bird gets the worm I suppose. Today, we got an early start so we could get an inside look of the Netherlands flower industry. I woke up before the sun but unfortunately the cloud cover was too heavy to see a pretty sunrise. We hopped on the bus and rode to…
Nethyland: day 3
Find your raincoats folks, this was a damp one. Today, we were headed to Zaanse Schans, a historic village, to learn all about clogs; cheese; and, of course; windmills. We started by catching the tram to the central station where we were going to get on a bus. The group got a little separated, but…
Nethyland: day 2
Hallo! So for day 2, I woke up pretty early so I could go for a run in the nearby area because I think this will be the best way for me to become more acquainted with the area. I discovered some more really cool sculptures in Oosterpark and then ran down the canals for…
Nethyland: day 1
Hello again! I will start day 1 on when we began our airport travel. We went through the Pittsburgh airport to get to Philly and had a 5 hour layover in Philly. I had such a good time at the Philadelphia airport because they had exhibits in our terminal that featured different fiber arts. I…

In my free time, I spend a lot of time running as well as creating fiber art like knitting and crochet. So every…
