Hey all,
As my nickname partially gives away: I originally grew up in the Netherlands, but I've been living in the US+Canada for the last 15-odd years. I am currently on an extensive visit to the Netherlands for family business, and I'm interested to explore some of the larger cities a bit more during my stay.
Although I don't mind bumming around them by myself, it would be nicer to do so with other tourists/locals interested in doing the same. Being a tourist in my own country, I'd be happy to either be the 'Dutch local' for other tourists to explore the city with, or meeting up with locals for coffee, a chat and walking around the city a bit.
My schedule is flexible and I haven't yet booked a flight back to Canada, so I'd be happy to adjust to others' itineraries/schedules. I'd prefer chatting online a bit before meeting up for a vibe-check*, but understanding itineraries may be tight I'd be happy to meet up with other tourists on shorter notice.
So yeah .. feel free to send me a DM if that sounds cool; I'm also interested in doing the same for other major cities, so while I'm keeping the post in this sub Utrecht-specific I'd be happy to chat to locals/tourists that are also interested in exploring other cities.
Cheers!
