Heather is a Canadian who has been living in the Netherlands since May 2008.
We share a mutual love of coffee, Amsterdam and all things Dutch. I read her blog, Life Abroad, quit often (Update, September 2011: She's back in Toronto, and I'm following her travels in Canada!) as she's always off exploring some area of this amazing city, and never forgets to bring her camera along.
Enabling her to share her beautiful adventures in and around Amsterdam, with the world.
Here's Heather with an ice cream from IJscuypje, in De Pijp, Amsterdam.
And here's some of her favorite reasons, as to why she loves living in this ever so enchanting city:

Here's Heather with an ice cream from IJscuypje, in De Pijp, Amsterdam.And here's some of her favorite reasons, as to why she loves living in this ever so enchanting city:
1. Having a cup of coffee and a slice of apple tart at a traditional brown café.
2. Watching spacious boats cruise down the Amstel, filled with families enjoying hors d'oeuvres on the water.
3. Walking along Prinsengracht, looking at the colorful and creative houseboats.
4. Accordion music wafting through my apartment when the windows were open during dinner time.
5. Albert Cuyp market during the busy morning hours.
6. Homemade ice cream from IJscuypje, in De Pijp.
7. Painted black brick canal houses.
8. Dutch businessmen in their sharp navy suits with brown leather shoes, riding their bicycles to work every morning.
9. Watching an Ajax game, eating a Van Dobben croquette met brood (with bread).
10. Visiting the 'Seven Bridges' at night, and seeing their lights shimmer across the surface of the canals.

Heather recently returned to Canada, but she'll be back in Amsterdam in just eight short month and I can't wait to finally meet her once she returns. (Update, September 2011: She didn't come back! Read her blog for more details as to why!)
Thanks for sharing Heather.
Best of luck on the opposite side of the Atlantic!

Oh no! I didn't realize she'd left! How sad! I've enjoyed her blog immensely! At least she's coming back.
ReplyDeleteCoincedentally I just was at her blog to check & see what's the latest for her across the pond. I have been so busy lately, not even having really decent time to check your blog as well. This is a very lovely post about her & her blog :-) I hope all is going well for you & wish you also a very happy Thanksgiving! Wishing you now, as I'll be away for a bit. And ik wens je een prettig weekend! Groetjes!
