Hey ho! I'm back with an Amsterdam tour of the Red Light District in collaboration with Hempstory, @welovehemp. I’m stoked about the whole thing for different reasons. First, we focused on the cultural side of the neighborhood (think museums, art, hidden gems,) quite an overlooked aspect by people visiting the area. Secondly, I get to show you the fascinating world of hemp and its uses in the modern world: from medicine to clothing and food, the sky is the limit for this über versatile plant. Finally, this vlog is all about conscious traveling. Yes, because people live in the Red Light District too (and that’s a big part of its richness.)
Big thanks to Frankie, my partner in crime during this video ❥
