Join travel enthusiasts Rich Stein and Maria Diecidue in an exploration of Amsterdam.
Rich Stein and Maria Diecidue had heard a lot of good things about Amsterdam from their younger cousins living in Germany. The ease of train travel to different parts of Europe made this an appealing starting point for Rich and Maria’s 2022 travels, but Amsterdam on its own has a lot to offer – famous canals that enabled the Dutch to master land use, rich history as an early empire and commercial juggernaut, welcoming citizens who sheltered the Frank family and others during WWII and a progressive reputation regarding drugs and sex.
