I’m Canadian but I went to Europe twice and I must admit that I passed by Amsterdam, because my first trip was landing there and departing from there, but I only spent a few minutes visiting the city. My main goal was Germany. I spent a few days in Hamburg and Berlin.
The second trip was also in Germany, along the Rhine, and ended in Belgium. Wallonia has nice bike trails, and I must go back to visit more of the Eifel region.
Why am I “avoiding” France? Because I speak French natively, and never considered France exotic enough. I did go to Martinique and Guadeloupe though, it’s closer than France, and much warmer. But I also met French people there and they suggested some places to visit in France. So now I’m planning a trip around the Bordeaux region.
However my mother thinks Europe is a country. She is always confused when I say I went to Europe and visited Germany and Belgium.
Sounds like you’ve had some nice trips!! I can also highly recommend Strasbourg if you visit France and go around alot - such a pretty town (a lot of those around and that’s just my personal recommendation).
