What an awesome video tour! I'm headed to Holland tomorrow for 2 weeks and am watching lots of videos. Yours is really well produced, super enjoyable and informative. Nice to see a perspective of an American, as I am. Greetings from San Francisco.

Dude! I was watching a video on NotJustBikes and he referenced the island of Texel, and now you decide to drop this video! The place looks really nice and enjoyable, I'd love to visit it! Thank you for the great video, loved to see your point of view :)

@hidavidwen 9 месяцев назад

Oh yeah Texel is a beautiful place (on a nice day haha)! It was so nice to see the stars at night on the beach. Really nice getaway =)

@tehblizz 9 месяцев назад

@hidavidwen it's so hard to see stars properly in todays time. What a pity because it's such a beautiful experience!

The Slufter is an area where the sand dunes are opened up, on purpose, to bring a piece of the old nature back. The bunker is part of the Atlantic wall, you'll find them all along the coast.

@hidavidwen 2 года назад

Thanks Willem. Yeah I really liked the Slufter area...very peaceful. I wanted to go back for sunset...hopefully next time =)

Nice little trip! (And you didn’t even get to visit Oudeschild and Den Hoorn.) The wadden islands are one of my favorite nearby destinations. They’re all quite unique and different, but Texel is by far the most ‘domesticated’ of the bunch. We (me, partner, toddler) often go there for a weekend or even a whole week. Even if the weather is disappointing, there are plenty of indoor options as well. Vlieland and Schiermonnikoog feel a lot more remote especially off season. These smaller islands both have just a single little town and the remainder is nature.

@hidavidwen 2 года назад

Yes I loved it! I got really lucky...sunny day in November?! I'm excited to visit more of them (hopefully this year)...thanks for the comment (been a long week and watching this video again of the island gave me a lot more positive emotions)

@JulesStoop 2 года назад

@@hidavidwen That one, single, sunny day 😅 Lucky indeed!

@e-BikeLife 2 года назад

Right now Texel seems quite idyllic, but I imagine during the winter months the storms can be quite harsh.

@hidavidwen 2 года назад

Yeah it was a beautiful day, we got lucky!

@randomquestions7741 2 года назад

i have a few questions, do u like USA or Europe better and which is a better place to live, do u like europe more than china?

@hidavidwen 2 года назад

Hey - sorry for the late reply. Busy with holidays. Oh those are big questions. It's hard to say. USA and Europe are also very big...so hard to make a comparison. My comparison point is living in San Francisco/LA vs living in Amsterdam...the thing I like most about Europe is traveling...within an 1-3 hours flight, you can get to most countries. I could drive 7 hours and still be in the same state in the US and same language. I also like the work culture here in that people get more vacation (and balance), and they take them. I do miss California though-it has everything I need-nature, mountains, summer and snow sports, beaches, good food, diverse cultures, great weather, and a good economy/jobs. But Europe is an experience. A different experience. I'm still trying to figure out where 'home' is but...it's been a great educational experience so far. As for Europe vs. China. I can't say much on that as I've never lived in China for a long period of time. Happy new year!

Other sauces that go well with fries: apple-sauce, sambal, and curry sauce. So many options!

@strikeformatik 2 года назад

Terschelling, Ameland, Schiermonnikoog and Vlieland are 20x betters than Texel tbh.. i mean, its great that you visited an Island here.. but for the life of me i never understand why tourists always go Texel. Why choose this over the other options? Its almost like a polder. Terschelling is easily the most beautifull, with the best beach restaurants, small villages, eateries, nature reserves and so on. I don’t mean to be negative! I love your imagery, narration and your general vibe. You deserve the best of what the Netherlands has to offer. ;) Please visit the other ones too! If you are able that is.

@hidavidwen 2 года назад

Thanks for the recommendations! I went to Texel for a work trip and then decided to take some time off ...but I definitely hope to visit the other islands now. I just remember seeing the stars at night...and I had not seen them in a while, beautiful...I need these trips away from busy city life! And appreciate your kind words =)

Texel, however, is the most easily reached wadden-island from Amsterdam. Imagine someone from Amsterdam having to travel to Schier. First, two hour train to Groningen, then one hour bus to Lauwersoog, then 45 minute ferry to Schiermonnikoog, then 15 minute transfer to Schiermonnikoog-village (the only village on the island).
