You Don’t Need to Move to Amsterdam to be Happy

We visited the Netherlands recently and had a lot of fun. It’s a cool country that lines up well with our interests in cycling and urbanism, and if you regularly watch our channel, you’d probably enjoy visiting too. But while we took home some lessons and inspiration, we did not return home completely depressed about where we live and desperate to uproot and move to the Netherlands. In this video we’re going to explain why we’re happily staying in North America instead of moving to Europe.
