Saturdaymorning I woke up at 7:30am. My first though was: What can I expect of the Meet Up today? I left my house at 9:30am on my bike to catch my train to Utrecht. I had Nienke on the phone and we would meet each other in Utrecht central station and then heading to Amsterdam. The train w…

Alright so here goes!! the fist blunder i made was when i posted a mini meet up and said that the meetup on the 29th when actually i meant the 30th. so im sorry to wally cause he waited for us in Dam at noon on the wrong day!! but luckily Keiko new about my horrible memory and idiotness so she made…

I will add some pictures about this meetup! The meetup was from 25th till the 27th january 2008. It was my first meetup with Travbuddies and I've had a lot of fun. I stayed at a StayOkay Hostel in Amsterdam (vondelpark) together with Devika and stephan. The second day there were some more people …

My grandfather died on Tuesday, March 31, 2009. I share this with you because of his contribution to a free Europe. He was a man of strong beliefs, as you will see. A few years ago, he sat down and wrote down his rememberances of his life, what lead him to military service, and his role in World Wa…

My head's pounding. My body aches. My liver hates me. But my heart is full of love. The TravBuddy new years meet up in Amsterdam.

It was Christmas day, our hips buckled on our seats, the 777 was airborne and cruising at 37,000 feet over at the Atlantic when I kissed and greeted my wife "Merry Christmas!". No fancy red wine, but only bottled water were in our hands. It was different, yet…

Just some of what I did in Amsterdam.

This was my second meet up. Queensday in Amsterdam

My goodness, it was cold by the time we went to Amsterdam, which my brother was insisting on referring to as "hamsterjam."  Of course by this time we'd spent three days quoting Austin Powers at each other, and doing the Grolsch advert, so we were no longer especially coherent.  Sibling st…

Come 4th morning, and 04:00 my clanger clang and I quietly woke up. Freshened up and packed and was out the door around 04:30 because I had to find the right bus stop and or station as a backup. The busstop wasn't hard to find from the map at the hostel, but the first bus was around 05:10 as expect…

Very good idea of Rob, picnic meetup at the park! A nice warm day ending with a lot of rain but we all had a good time!

Much to my disappointment, ive learned so far is traveling on your own is a gamble, if you wanna play it safe and maintain what you got, sometimes you got to fold. If you are a poker player like me you understand.but im not sad, i know now i can stay on a set budget. Did i suceed in keeping it unde…

Why did we fly back to Amsterdam? Blake can tell you because Amsterdam is the greatest city in the world. I can tell you this, we were planning on going to Rome, Italy after Ireland but after seriously rationalizing, it would have been a bad move. 1. The trip was going by fast, and not enjoying t…

Feeling like a lobotomized tarsier during the whole of January 1st I finally started to return to my old self somewhere on January 2nd.  Agnes gave me a call and I met her and Harriet at the hotel that evening for some dinner and some drinks. After sorting out a few phone calls we went over to…
