In this video we don't only visit Utrecht (the alternative to Amsterdam some say) but we also make it to the old city of Maastricht where we finally manage to complete our Netherlands eating quest!

Welcome! We’re Andre and Lisa. A married South African couple who has been travelling together for almost 20 years, to more than 50 countries. In 2017 we took stock of our life and made the decision to 'retire early'. We gave up our professional careers and all our personal possessions in order to explore the world as full-time nomads. Over the past two years, we have been travelling through Europe with our 21-year-old Motorhome. Please subscribe to follow along and join us on our adventure!

Andrea and Lisa, congratulations for your channel, I've been watching channels on the topic you're dealing with for a few years now, but you're the best with various very good, simple explanations of what's experienced in nomadic life. Could you please make an episode specifically about countries that do not belong to the European Union, we need insurance, road taxes, etc. Also, you are welcome in our little Cyprus, it would be an interesting destination. Thank you and good luck on your travels. 👍🙂

Thank you for your kind words! We would LOVE to visit Cyprus - hopefully one day soon. I'll put your idea for a video on our list. Thanks for that!

Wow lovely video and great that you have visited the Netherlands. Glad you liked the poffertjes 😊. I think Milli looks very cool, and Lisa you looked great on Bike Mickey. Sad that you’re leaving 😢 Hope to see you back in the Netherlands some time. 😘👋

Wonderful video. It was so nice to see Utrecht, I love those resto's along by the canal and there are so many cool bars/cafe's in that area. Great to see that Lisa likes her new bike, she wears it well ! I've never been to Maastricht but it looks like a place worth a visit. Those Frites looked so good. Lekker Lekker !

Thanks Ronan! Both Utrecht and Maastricht are really nice. We almost skipped out on Maastricht but it's definitely well worth a stop. We've been cycling quite a bit in the last couple of weeks and so far so good! 😋

Such a good film guys - Maastricht looks amazing and what a great spot for an aires so close to the city at a sensible price. We're paying about 1.83 in Ireland by the way (for diesel) We love the way you two tour towns and cities - views, snacks and facts!

@WeWillNomad 9 ай бұрын

Thanks as always Nicky & Kevin! We should take a page out of your book and walk / run / hike more and eat less!! We have to go south for warmer weather and cheaper diesel! 😜

There was a section when you were walking through a square and it almost looked like a drone - was that the extended selfie stick?

@WeWillNomad 9 ай бұрын

That's correct. It's a 3m 'invisible' stick for the 360 camera. Now we just have to figure out how to hide the shadow. 😁

Hi Andre.. I’m interested to know what you guys are planning to do with your drone .. whilst in Morocco? We did Morocco last winter and didn’t take our drone ? Or have you applied for a special license?

@WeWillNomad 9 ай бұрын

Not sure yet. We're thinking of leaving our drone and Bicycles in Spain. Definitely not up for any hassles. But I'm already sad to have to be without the drone.

Maybe the fuel is a bit expensive but with the taxes on fuel you get a nice camperspot and excellent roads 😉

Question: did you use afrikaans on the Dutch? They should be able to understand you.

@WeWillNomad 9 ай бұрын

To an extend they can understand Afrikaans. But it depends on the area as well. Afrikaans is probably 'closer' to Flemish.

@Hensepens64 9 ай бұрын

Just fun fact. Not sure if you realised . @04:22 you were on a square watch the Domtoren (scaffold though). In the pavement you see grey and red stones in a pattern. Where you stood there was another part of the church but over time demolished. So, centuries back you would be actually standing inside a church.

That's pretty cool! We're from a 'young' country and it's so incredible to find history in cities like these that predates even the first settlers in South Africa.

@@r.a.h7682 the water is not the problem. Just a lot of stuff floating around the canals . Also lots of garbage. Bottles , packaging and cigarette butts to be seen. Not unique to any country or city. It's pretty common everywhere.
