@@HollyGabrielle not many dutch use credit cards, we use debet cards. We dont like paying off debt. If I dont have the money, I cant buy it. Credit cards can be a debt trap.
Seeing you travel the world gives me second hand joy! It’s so go to see you trying new things and making all these incredible memories. Can’t wait for the next travel vlog! ☺️
Holly, you are more confident. Charlie likes you!!! I'm so happy for you!!! Now, you are shining. You should have The courage to love someone and to be loved🤗🤗 hugsss
Love these videos so much holly !! You have really stepped out of your comfort zone throughout your travels !! Love you beautiful Holly , it’s so good to see you experience so much fun and joy wherever your life takes you.
Ah it's so nice to see you guys enjoying Amsterdam! I actually go to the film school next to Waterlooplein and live in the West area of the city. It's always so much fun to see others reacting to your own town, glad you liked it!
I'm so happy to see that you met some new friends/travel companions. The first thing that comes to mind when I hear about Amsterdam is Anne Frank and her family.
You went to pride! It's the best party of the year in Amsterdam. Better than Kingsday for sure. Best thing to do is to rent a boot with friends to avoid the crowds.
Off-topic, but once you're done travelling could you do a video about choosing the right hostel as a female, how to not get robbed, and basically how to not get lost in a foreign country haha.
Bruh, it's Europe, you won't get robbed in Hostel unless you land somewhere like Moldova 🤷🏽♂️. Still it's highly unlikely. You can get pickpocket in highly touristy places such as Rome just don't do stupid things like leaving behind passport n other valuable things back in the hostel
Another awesome travel vlog in Amsterdam in the Netherlands Holly ( obviously having too much fun traveling to go 🏘️). The food is awesome & 😋. Love 🥰 the vlog and love 💞 Holly.
@@HollyGabrielle So proud of you btw. I remember your past videos about not being comfortable talking to guys and you naturally gravitate towards females! Were you at all nervous that they may not be trustworthy, especially since you're a young female travelling alone? Would love it if you could address these issues in a video as well. I've heard way too many horror stories about drinks getting spiked, and trusting the wrong people on travels etc., so I'd love some advice on making friends while travelling whilst being careful.
Holly, Amsterdam is a very nice town. I went with my father in 2012 and we saw Anne Frank's house, the zoo, and visited a few museums. There are a lot of bikes in Amsterdam.
no way! i've just got back from Amsterdam, just been on an internship there for a month! I was at the canal pride parade and stayed at a clink at the start on my trip too! haha small world!! loved reminising through your vid! X
I hope you enjoyed your internship and the hostel was really cool, right?! oh and we wished we could have stayed for longer at the pride parade, it was so so good!!!
@@HollyGabrielle hahah I've never been there myself but it always seems like a fun experience. Besides the Anne Frank house there's also lots of art here as well, like the van Gogh museum or rijksmuseum, definitely worth a visit sometime!
however , Holly the NL-Beaches are very well "what do you mean?" 🇨🇵 Sand , Girl's and road-surfaces are the best ! Try In-Line skating/skating with board or farming or swim in the northsea (boat driving/rent a boat 👍) oh -Duisburg your mind is not so far away (next month 9€uro ticket is shoutdown ,emiliy should read this too....🤗) ; NRW is Germany all other is pure mainstream /tourist attraction
Happy Saturday, Holly!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🌈💜💜💜💜💜💜👍. You're the prettiest girl ever with good vibes! And the bloopers are so funny!😀😍🎉. Have fun in the Netherlands!💜⭐💜⭐💜⭐💜⭐💜⭐👍
You'd better get used to your credit card(s) not being accepted in The Netherlands. We use bank cards over here, which are cheaper (also per transaction), safer (there's no number you need to give others to pay them which they could then use to pay in your name) and more convenient (money is just deducted from your bank account instead of you either having to charge a debit card or effectively constantly having a loan for anything you pay). Or at least that's how I'd say most Dutch think about it. Everybody uses these over here, so shops have no real reason to accept credit cards other than for tourists. I know credit cards have PIN codes too nowadays, but somehow stores can still choose whether to ask for that and there's thus still places you can pay without any authentication or by drawing something random (a signature, very hard to prove it wasn’t you who made a payment with such 'proof').
My gosh Holly you just had my dream trip !! I have always been in love with the Netherlands 🇳🇱 . Can’t believe that you didn’t visit Anne Frank’s house?? Why didn’t you visit it?
I'm from the Netherlands but I never really liked Amsterdam. I'm from the very south. This vlog makes me rethink this and maybe I just have to do other things to make it more fun haha We do pay a lot by (Maestro) Debit card. I had to get a credit card when I traveled in England but I also could use my debit card is stores.
The Netherlands is a heavily populated nation that was partially submerged by the water and has around 50% of its land below sea level. Most visitors to the Netherlands simply come to see Amsterdam. Holland, however, has a lot to offer outside of its city. With its network of canals, the country's flat terrain is ideal for cycling and is dotted with charming old towns and traditional windmills. The flower gardens transform into popular tourist destinations in the spring, offering a striking display of vibrant colors.
Honestly Amsterdam is not the most special place in the NL. It's a bit overrated and lots of Dutch people don't understand the hype, I agree with them :)
I'm Dutch: a little explanation why you could not pay with Visa at Albert Heijn. In the Netherlands, there's many places that don't accept Visa. Even Albert Heijn - which is a major supermarket chain here. I only found out after my Irish boyfriend came to the Netherlands for a visit for the first time. It's because Albert Heijn actually has to pay for any Visa transaction, which costs them money. It's improving A LOT though I've noticed. In most large cities, you can now pay with Visa but in non-touristic neighbourhoods and on the countryside, your card still might not be accepted everywhere. It can be very random and depend per store. We've had situations in which my boyfriend's card wasn't accepted somewhere in Amsterdam but was in a tiny little village. Just make sure you have some cash if you are a Visa card holder and visit the Netherlands. Your card will be accepted at any ATM though!

I have to say, my first experience in the Netherlands was quite disappointing. The people were utterly rude for no real reason. When you said you are from Germany then even more.
@@HollyGabrielle Just a quick question: What the heck was Daniel doing, as you and Charlie were exploring Amsterdam together?! 😉 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
