The first city I visited when I went to Europe this summer was Amsterdam.
I will always remember my time here. It was one of the most beautiful and amazing cities I have ever been to. The architecture of every building was unique, yet similar at the same time. They are nothing like buildings in the United States. They are built tall instead of wide so that there can be more of them. Walking around the city you would see tall, skinny buildings like you have never seen before.
Another beautiful aspect of this city is the canal running through the center of it. Almost everywhere you turn, you are able to see the canal. Standing on the bridge looking down at the streets is one of the most amazing pictures.
Another awesome picture opportunity is the "I Amsterdam" sign. Of course, it was busy but still able to get a few good shots.
Walking around the streets of Amsterdam was hectic, at first. Not many cars roam the streets, like in the U.S. More people travel on bicycles in the Netherlands. It was amazing how many people were on bikes. And how fast they were going!!!
Shopping was also one of my favorite things to do. Quite expensive but a lot of high-end stores.
Something that was hard to adjust to was the language. I had never really heard Dutch before I had gone abroad. A very....interesting language, to say the least. I never tried learning it because I was only there for a month, but I think it would be fairly hard to do so.

About The Storyteller
Hi, all!
I am The Storyteller. Welcome to my blog.
I am a senior business administration major at Illinois State University.
My blogs are all about traveling. But not JUST traveling. You get to see the ins and outs of all the best places to visit throughout the world. I have an absolute love for traveling and want to share it with the world.
Anyone can spend their money on clothes, shoes and handbags, but the smartest people spend their wealth on seeing the world.
My love for international traveling began in May of 2014. I studied abroad in The Netherlands for a month. My program was called "Doing Business in Europe." I learned so much but what really intrigued me was traveling. I have always been very shy but when I went abroad it really opened my eyes to everything there is in the world. I gained a new love for seeing things that are not able to be seen in the U.S.
I want others to get the chance to see the world, as well. The one thing holding people back is money. Another barrier is the stress of planning. But that is what my company is here to do. We find the cheapest flights to the world's top destinations, as well as providing you with maps, tips, and places to see while you are in your new favorite place!
Have you ever dreamed of going to Paris, Rome, London, or Greece?
I can help you make this dream a reality!

Desired Destinations, Inc.
What sounds better than "cheap travel"?
...I would say not a lot!
If you are interested in traveling the world to the top destinations, then you are in the right place!
My love for traveling is immense, but I am a college student and I do not have the funds to go everywhere I would like to go. That's why I created my own business, Desired Destinations, Inc. I figured there are a lot of people in the same boat that I am in and will appreciate my efforts to help everyone out.
I want to provide the cheapest flights to the best places in the world. Not only do I offer the cheapest flights, but I will highlight things to see at these magnificent destinations. Places to visit, restaurants to eat at, monuments to see, places to take pictures, places to shop, fun things to do, and ultimately how to have a great time.
Instead of searching the web over and over again to find the cheapest flight, I have people that will do that for you. Saves you all some precious time and most of all avoids the stress!
Keep checking back for blog posts with destination information on places you might want to visit which might include places that we just so happen to offer!
Send me an email and let me know what places you would like to see on my website! If I get enough requests for a certain destination, I will certainly do my best to add it!
