I can’t believe it, but our last day is finally here. I woke up feeling tired, but knew I had to make the most of the day since I won’t be back in the Netherlands for a long time (maybe ever, who knows). Lauren and I got our last generator breakfast at 9am, and like…

Today started like every other day: breakfast at the Generator. We got a late start today, and left the hostel at 10:30 to embark on our journey to the University Van Amsterdam. I was really excited for this visit because in a week full of engineering talks, we were finally getting to the business aspect…

I loved today. It was the perfect mixture of learning, shopping, eating, walking, and just having fun in general. We started the day at 9am, where we ate breakfast and left the Generator to go to Utrecht for the day! We did the public transport routine and met with Sophia, who lives in Utrecht. We…

Today was an extremely packed day. From the moment we woke up at 7am to the minute we left our last event at 10pm, we were constantly on the move. Our first visit of the day was to Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where a student toured us around the campus and showed us the culture of…

Goooooood morning everyone! We started today bright and early with a Generator breakfast. I’m really gonna miss the breakfast buffet and self-serving espresso machine come time to go home. I’m taking advantage of it when I can! We all met up at 10am in front of the hostel to meet with our guide, Max, and…

I woke up in Rotterdam today! I’m not sure if the bed was comfier or I desperately needed sleep, but it was one of the best sleeps of my life. We got breakfast and hopped on the bus toward our first stop of the day: Waternoodsmuseum. I didn’t know much about this place before going,…

Today was an early start, 7 am to be exact. We all had to pack up for our Rotterdam visit last night, and left the hostel at 8am to embark on our journey. As much as we were excited to leave, it’s not a travel day without something going wrong. Our first train got canceled…

Today was definitely more chill than the others. We didn’t leave the Generator until noon, so I enjoyed my delicious hostel breakfast and went straight back to bed. Rest is hard to come by these days. We joined our guide Sophia and trained to our first location of the day: the 3D printed bridge. A…

Today was an early start: 6am to be exact. We hopped on our bus and ate some bagged breakfasts on our way to Royal Flora Holland, aka one of the largest flower distributors in Europe. Here is where we walked around and got to see thousands of flowers being transported from one place to the…

Rainiest day yet! We started the day off with our hostel breakfast, which was delicious. There was even a chocolate fountain! When we stepped outside, it was heavily pouring, and continued on our short walk to the tram station where we waited for our train. All of a sudden, I’m talking to Will and Franny…

Today was full of good food, Amsterdam history, and lots of walking. We started the day by walking, with the help of our guide Sophia, to the first company visit on our itinerary: CREA. Here we had an engineering talk with Karel Bockstael who is a prominent figure in the sustainable aviation industry. He presented…

Here’s to day one being complete! Boy was it a long one. When we first landed in Amsterdam, I felt sudden relief that I was holding in the entire flight; and wow was it a long flight. Luckily, with my calming movie selection of Interstellar and 2 capsules of Zzzquil, I fell right asleep ….
