We’re talking real Croatian beach days, rocky coves, steep hikes, sea urchins, inflatable obstacle courses and a few places we almost turned around (but didn’t). From Dubrovnik to Split, Pag to Lopud, here’s where we swam, lounged, and said “okay, this was totally worth it.” Plus: full moon swims, surprise boat lunches, and how clear water turns you into a snorkel person whether you meant to be or not.

In this episode, We're diving into our beginning time in Amsterdam. The canals, the chaos, the charm and answering the big question: is it actually worth visiting? (Spoiler alert: yes. Always yes.)

We’ll share what we loved, what surprised us, how it felt visiting with a teen and a few places that didn’t quite live up to the hype. Plus, fair warning: my Dutch pronunciation is truly tragic but I powered through for the love of stroopwafels.

So grab your bike (or don’t, we have thoughts) and let’s talk Amsterdam. You can read more about Amsterdam on our website here.
