This week I spent a little time in Amsterdam, an amazing city that has a lot to offer anyone. Besides the usual walking time around the city, I was actually surprised at how sustainable the trip became. The tiny flat where I stayed was conveniently located within walking distance of almost everything but was also on several tram lines. Plus, I had the pleasure of taking an eco-canal ride to explore the different districts further. It was an electric boat that was small enough to pass through the tiny canals in the newly named UNESCO world heritage center of town. On top of that, the city offered several organic food locations and a variety of vegetarian fare.
The best thing about being in this city was understanding the pace of living that the residents enjoyed. With plentiful tourists and busy activities, the streets still managed to be pleasant and quiet. Everyone seemed to be mindful of each moment they were spending in this beautiful place. What a lovely goal to have for living a meaningful life!
