00:00Thank you to Crave Beauty for sponsoring this video.
00:01This city's crazy. I just heard the cashier tell those girls how to responsibly take shrooms later tonight.
00:07But let's back up. How did I even get here?
00:11Previously on my YouTube channel.
00:20Hey guys, video update. It is 2.30 a.m. here in Cairo.
00:25Flying Austrian air to Vienna and then flying Vienna to Amsterdam.
00:29Spending the day in Amsterdam and then going home.
00:32So, it's been a lot of spontaneous, lots of minute travel.
00:35Finally almost done with this book. Bought it in the airport on the way to Italy.
00:39And I've just been reading it very, very slowly, but it's coming to a precipice.
00:51Okay, so a little context on how I was feeling in this moment, if you guys give a hoot.
00:55It's hard to tell here because I'm usually a pretty chipper person.
00:59There's nothing in this. I just wanted to hold something.
01:01But my mom and I, in this moment, were exhausted with a capital E.
01:05Long story short, without going into too much detail, she and I made a couple decisions that were not the smartest in terms of safety.
01:12I'll leave it at that.
01:13Anyway, I feel like the problem with some of these travel vlogs is that they always look so incredibly glamorous.
01:18When in reality, travel is super stressful a lot of the time.
01:21Something always goes wrong, which, you know, that's what makes it memorable.
01:24And I still love traveling more than anything.
01:26But I want to keep it real with you guys.
01:28We were tired and we were really looking forward to getting to Amsterdam after a few days of interesting events before that.
01:34So that's how I was feeling.
01:36Also, this isn't my camera.
01:37I'm borrowing a friend's.
01:38But I didn't try to set it up where you can see the city or anything.
01:41It's dark anyway.
01:42It gets dark at like noon these days.
01:44But.
01:45And now the end of the series is too noon.
01:47I feel like my rash.
01:48I developed it on the last plane.
01:51Very quickly.
01:53Here we are!
02:06Last time I was here, it was like snowing.
02:07So this is very, very nice.
02:09Blue skies.
02:10Perfect weather.
02:119am.
02:14More, more, more.
02:15More, more.
02:16More, more, more.
02:17Good stuff.
02:18Now let's figure out the train.
02:19Yes!
02:20Something here was.
02:22Oh, wow!
02:23Oh, wow!
02:25Video USA.
02:26Perfect weather.
02:28Morale check-in.
02:29How are we feeling?
02:30Great.
02:31You have a beautiful day.
02:33Where are we at?
02:34I'm straight at.
02:35I want to show you something else.
02:37Transition.
02:38Sometimes I ask myself, am I actually 25 years old?
02:42Also, I'm editing this whole video to the beat of the music. I hope you like it as much as I do
03:04Okay, just got off the bus. I actually can't even describe how perfect the weather is
03:12fake
03:16Can't risk getting burnt
03:18Do a little makeup and a little freshened up a little bit got a little dress on feeling cute
03:31That's where we're staying
03:34I'm chewing on a thingy, but that's where we're staying. It's very nice. It's on this kind of outer ring canal
03:42Oh
03:46Now we're gonna walk more towards the center to find a place to eat breakfast
03:53So I'd been to Amsterdam in the past
03:55But this was my first time being there in the summer and since the weather was absolutely perfect
04:00As I have already mentioned about 37 times in this video my mom and I really just wanted to stroll around
04:05I've come to find that my favorite way to see a city is just by walking through it and stopping whenever I see something interesting
04:10So that is exactly what we did and speaking of interesting
04:15There's more to come very soon
04:18Oh, yeah
04:20So clinked
04:22But you gotta show that
04:24So pretty
04:25Taylor's the one she wants right there. I want to buy it
04:28I want it
04:30I like it
04:31Okay, this breakfast spot was literally called the avocado show and call me a psycho all you want
04:36But I have never really liked avocado that much. I know it's crazy, especially as someone from California
04:41But I like guac. So yeah, it doesn't really make sense. I know anyway
04:45I have been trying to train myself to enjoy avocado more over the last year because it's just it's everywhere people love it
04:50And I've been sort of successful happy to say
04:53How was your breakfast?
04:55It was good, but it's all fun and games until
04:59He comes out
05:01So the avocado show and our quaint stroll was on some of the outer ring canals
05:05And here's what I mean by the outer rings by the way. This is what Amsterdam looks like on a map
05:09Here's where the avocado show was. I don't know why I think it's funny to keep saying the name of the restaurant
05:12Anyway after walking around these parts we headed to this inner ring to see a bit more of what makes Amsterdam Amsterdam Amsterdam
05:18This city is crazy. I just heard the cashier tell those girls how to responsibly take shrooms later tonight
05:25I mean better responsible than not
05:28A flower market with plenty of phallic regalia
05:41Excellent. Yes. Great ride
05:45If only I could take these back in my suitcase. I love succulents and look how pretty they are
05:54Got my finger in the camera like my mom
05:57Okay, so here we are in Amsterdam and I'm trying to decide, you know, I go to all these places
06:03I've been all these places, but I don't have one specific thing that I get at every single place
06:07Like my mom who's behind the camera right now. She gets a mug at every place. So I just want something
06:12I still haven't decided what it is yet
06:14But maybe some like art. Maybe it's not realistic to get one every single place I go
06:18So I'm just brainstorming
06:20I'm not going to be related to this point, but like, you know
06:34We just noticed might be hard to sell on video, but these buildings are leaning like crazy
06:38Pretty cool though
06:39Such a nice day still
06:40Just walked around, did a little shopping, didn't really buy much, but did looking.
06:46It's fun to look and enjoy the weather.
06:51So later in the evening, my mom and I strolled around the most notorious part of Amsterdam.
06:55But before going there, I want to take 30 seconds to thank the sponsor of today's video,
06:59who I'm so excited to be working with because I've been using their products for over two
07:02years now, Crave Beauty.
07:04Actually though, here's a DM I sent to the lovely founder of this company, Lia Yu, almost
07:08two years ago, and now she's a friend of mine, which is pretty darn cool.
07:11Anyway, I specifically am a huge fan of their barrier repair products, Great Barrier Relief
07:15and Great Body Relief.
07:16The key ingredient in both of these products is tamadu oil, which soothes irritation and
07:20calms redness without feeling greasy, as well as ceramides, which are essential to skin health
07:24as they help replenish fatty building blocks of the skin barrier.
07:27Great Body Relief was developed with 5% tamadu oil compared to 10% in Great Barrier Relief for
07:32a lighter, more pillowy texture.
07:34And it also contains fermented fruit and seed oils to condition skin and reduce transepidermal
07:38water loss.
07:39So I use this on my hands, my arms, anywhere that needs a little extra love.
07:42And then Great Barrier Relief also contains glycerin to help clear spots, fade discoloration,
07:46and brighten skin.
07:47And this product I use on my face when it needs a little extra love, which is pretty much every
07:50single night in these winter months.
07:52You can get these two products in the Barrier Friends Forever bundle for a 5% discount,
07:55just click the link in my description.
07:57And thank you again Crave Beauty for sponsoring this video.
07:59Now back to Amsterdam.
08:00Hello.
08:01Evening update.
08:02We went back after our little lunch and walking around earlier.
08:06Now it's evening time.
08:08Strolling around the main square and gonna find a place to eat some dinner.
08:12Just walking along and then found a store completely dedicated to rubber ducks.
08:19Which one's the best?
08:20I like that one.
08:21I like that one.
08:22Is this brother's one?
08:23Is it?
08:24That's it.
08:25That's it.
08:26That's it.
08:27That's it.
08:28That's it.
08:29That's it.
08:30Golden hour.
08:31Pretty.
08:32Near the red light district, just up into the right a little bit, but gotta find some
08:42food first.
08:43I don't know why we're not seeing anything that has our name on it quite yet.
08:47Cheers.
08:48It is 916 in the evening at night.
08:53Yeah, it stays light pretty late here because we're further north.
08:56I like it.
08:57And later that night.
09:04Alright guys, we're walking past all the windows with the ladies, but you're not allowed
09:09to film, obviously.
09:10But yeah, pretty crazy.
09:12Just to clarify, you can take photos in the red light district.
09:14You just can't take photos of the workers.
09:16And in a funny way, I actually thought these canals were some of the most beautiful in the
09:19way that they reflected the red light at night time.
09:21So after walking through here for a while and doing some sightseeing, we started making
09:25our way back to the hotel.
09:27And this person's private library on the way back really caught my eye.
09:30I just love seeing things like this and taking a little peek into other people's lives.
09:34And then we left the next morning, but not before getting in the longest security line
09:37I've seen in my entire life.
09:39I've never seen anything like this.
09:42Please give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed whatsoever and subscribe for free.
09:46Until next time, turtle out.
09:48Bye.
09:49Bye.
09:50Bye.
09:51Bye.
09:52Bye.
09:53Bye.
