Final comments

Start by travelling inside the Netherlands and make your way to the rest of Europe; don't forget Portugal, Spain and the southern countries, as well as Scandinavia. Buy a used bike and beware to walk alone someplaces at night. Find a house in the north side of the river Mass.

Final comments

It is easy to travel in the Netherlands by train (almost like a subway). Buy a "Kortingcard" (=reduction card), to get 40% off for you and three people traveling with you.
