St. Nicolaas Boat Club: a Different Way to View Amsterdam

A ride on Amsterdam's canals
For many, Amsterdam is notorious for its coffee shops and gritty red light district. The real attraction of Amsterdam however lies in the city’s layout of canals which gives Amsterdam its true charm. While visiting Amsterdam, there are two popular ways to view the city. One is by bike, which you will see thousands of as you walk through the streets. The other is by boat. From the point of view of locals and tour guides alike, there is nothing else like seeing Amsterdam by a canal ride. You see a whole new perspective of the city from the canals than you would by walking besides them.

Return From the Dead


Rowing on Lake Bled, Slovenia last month
 Hello Everyone! I apologize for the long hiatus. I was traveling for the past month and wanted to update with a new article, but traveling is so time consuming that I just did not have time! Luckily after a month of traveling I have bunch of new article topics so expect one next week on canal boat rides in Amsterdam. Over the next year you can also expect new articles from the other side of the world, South East Asia! Starting in August I will be living in Vietnam for 10 months and hope to do some traveling to near by countries as well. Lots of exciting things coming up! Check back next week. -Melissa
