Travel That Connects Us - Latest Videos

If you go to the Netherlands and only visit Amsterdam, you are missing most of what makes this country special. In this Netherlands travel guide, we take you beyond Amsterdam to 11 of our favorite cities, towns, and hidden gems that many tourists never see.Since our daughter first moved to the Netherlands to study, we have visited nearly every year and fallen in love with the smaller cities and rural areas that show the real Dutch culture. From the two-tiered canals of Utrecht to the tulip fields of Keukenhof, here is everything we have seen and done so far, all reachable by train, bus, and bike. We hope it inspires you to explore more of the real Netherlands.Which Dutch city should we visit next? Drop your suggestions in the comments.

The Netherlands: 11 Must-See Places (Beyond Amsterdam)
The Scottish Highlands are special for so many reasons. We visited the Highlands for our first time this year and already are longing to go back. To be honest, when we first had the opportunity to go to the Highlands, we were reluctant. We didn’t feel comfortable staying in a very rural place in a country we hadn’t been to before. We decided to take the chance though and wow, it was one of the best travel decisions we have ever made! The people there are so welcoming and friendly, the nature, castles, animals, and everything else are so beautiful, and it is an amazingly peaceful and relaxing place.Please watch our full adventures in the Highlands - https://youtu.be/K7qSXRB09zo#scottishhighlands #scotland #beautifuldestinations #visitscotland #highlandcow #castles #lochnessWe are Scott and Cassandra, and we call ourselves the forever explorers because we have been traveling for our entire lives and plan to continue traveling for many years to come.

What is Special About the Scottish Highlands
One of our favorite parts of our recent Scotland trip was spending quiet time in nature, at the beautiful forest walk, called Reelig Glen, near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. Come along with us on this quiet walk through the forest, listening to nothing but the chirping birds, flowing water, gentle breeze, and our footsteps on the forest floor. Keep an eye out for the magical "Fairy Glen" and Britain's tallest trees.#walkingtour #ambient #ambientsounds #forestwalk #naturewalk #scottishhighlands #scotland #scotlandnature #forestbathing #foreverexplorers #travel #europetravel #peaceful We are Scott and Cassandra, and we call ourselves the forever explorers because we have been traveling for our entire lives and plan to continue traveling for many years to come.
