It has been nearly a month since I left Amsterdam. I miss its vibrant energy everyday. I often reflect on my daily routes to get to my favorite parks or weekend markets in addition to my excitement of exploring a new venue with friends. I finally reviewed my photographs of my last days spent in this beautiful city, and of course, a wave of nostalgia hit me immediately.
I had discovered De Kas prior to the program. I knew then I would make a culinary pilgrimage to a restaurant that valued sustainable and local ingredients to the extent that it had its own garden.
Appetizer at De Kas
IJ Hallen is the biggest European flea market.
As I was enjoying an evening stroll with a friend, we spotted Nieuwmarkt beautifully lit across the canal.
Picked up some fresh fruits from Noordermarkt before my bike ride at a nearby park.
Before I departed, I took a boat ride to say goodbye to Amsterdam.

I love engaging in spontaneous adventures and finding great spots off the beaten path. I enjoy viewing and creating travel and food albums. Wish me luck in finding the perfect scarf and all the European cheeses!</span></p>
