I never imagined I would get the opportunity to travel to Amsterdam let alone have some of my studies there as well. The last module of my author’s school was held in this captivating nation. In between classes, working on my book, getting my final project done, I made sure I found that extra time to explore as much as I could.

I was constantly in awe of the architectural artistry I saw on many streets around Amsterdam. Of course I loved the old houses along the countless canals around the city but I the more modern buildings intrigued me so much more.

Every corner I would come around, wonder filled me as I gazed upwards, relishing in the beauty everywhere.

One Saturday morning I decided to go and explore the business area of Zuidas. It was just a twenty minute tram ride from the center of Amsterdam, but I decided to walk (a little over an hour), seeing more of the city. When I arrived in the downtown area of Zuidas, I was blown away by the buildings up and down the streets.

Right behind Central Station there were small ferry’s that were free to ride, taking you across the water to other parts of the city. I decided to venture off and ride on one of them, anticipating on finding more beauty. I found some of my favorite spots of the city while on that little morning adventure.

I loved chasing beauty all around Amsterdam as I finished my school. Maybe one day I’ll have the opportunity to visit this place again. Being such an artistic city, I was definitely inspired with more ideas for my book.
