Comparing 10 Public Transport Network Densities in 10 European countries...
Thought this was an interesting visual by TravelTime. BUT...
👀 This is only one factor—other factors to think about include population density, geography, frequency, quality, and price of public transport!

Coming soon…
A philosophy that brings many Dutch ‘over the moon’,
But surprise many an American,
To not actually ‘shoot for the moon’,
Stay tuned...
Happy weekend,
David
Dutch public transport looks...expensive? 😲 What do you think?

I've been spending quite a few evenings reading up on annual reports from NS and public transport in the Netherlands—fun stuff 😆
Will share a new video on my thoughts on public transport in the Netherlands very soon. Would love to hear your views on it soon!
Take care and have a nice day,
David
🚊 Note: This is for comparison purposes only. This overview contains monthly unlimited public transport costs (primarily train). For example, NS' monthly pass excludes metro/buses. No country's "monthly passes" look the same and have different limitations.
Happy summer all! ☀️ One thing I love about Europe is the summer holiday season—everyone seems to be "out of office"—and how one can just book a last-minute trip to a place like Spain and walk the Camino de Santiago...
I just finished walking 200km on the Camino Ingles and Finisterre, and it was a great reminder of how powerful it is to "disconnect to reconnect." The Camino Ingles (English Way) is a beautiful pilgrimage—one filled with lots of forests—and the least crowded one of all. Great for self-reflection. I plan to make a video of the journey sometime soon.
And I plan to continue making videos about life in the Netherlands. Have a great summer (or winter depending on where you are) and take care 🙏

Hi community 🙂
I will be doing a live talk tomorrow about a topic that is very close to my heart (and related to this channel)—diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We will be discussing diversity in the workplace, life in the Netherlands, and a bit about our stories.
If you are interested, I'd love to have you join (Tues Mar 7, 7:45PM CET/ 1:45PM ET) = www.linkedin.com/video/event/urn:li:ugcPost:703737…
And lastly, I just want to thank you for your support—whether you found this channel through my Camino or "Life in the Netherlands" videos.
I don't know if you know...but I moved to Amsterdam right before COVID—and you helped me get through it when I felt the most alone.
Thank you for the connection 🙏

Hi, I'm David 😀 A Californian in Amsterdam. I make videos about life in the Netherlands (as an American), the Camino de Santiago, and lifestyle.
But at the end of day...I'm exploring "happiness" and what makes a good life.
Have a story to share? I'd love to hear about it:
