We’re Tracey and Travis, an American couple who just moved with our Miniature Husky, Tabasco, from our home in Houston, Texas to the city of Leiden, The Netherlands. Our goal is to be interesting people, which is reflected in our channel. We appreciate all of your support on this crazy awesome journey!

  1. Nice tour of a beautiful city. Next time with Tracey and Tabasco i hope. The 3 T’s together is the best. ❤️❤️❤️

  2. Hi Travis. Nice video from this morning (Oct 23) love the Walk. 👍 I'm not tired 😄 I hope the reason Tracey still in US isn't serious family visit. You use gimbal? The weather is about the same here, but I'm next door village 😆

  3. Although the city has changed a lot (over the 60+ years that I've been around) I still love walking and cycling through Leiden. Next best thing: watching a video-walk like yours on YouTube… 🙂👍

  4. As a born and bred Leidenaar I take too many things for granted. Leiden through the eyes of an expat makes me aware I’m privileged to live in such a beautiful city with its rich history. Thanks for sharing! BTW, the intersection at the Korevaarstraat is really dangerous. It’s the result of municipal policy to mix slow traffic (pedestrians, cyclists) with high-speed traffic in the same zone.

  5. One of the victorious cities in the battle against Spain, be it not the first. That was Alkmaar.

    Their reward was a university as well as funding to repair the damage done. Later the city would be home to the Van Rijn family, who gave us their famous son Rembrandt.

    Because of all of this we and you still have a beautiful city to enjoy.

  6. So much fun to see this! I used to live on de Hooglandse Kerkgracht. (Your favorite). But there were no trees then, because of the market. Lots of fruits and vegetables were sold on Saturdays. Later I moved to the Haarlemmerstraat. Anyway I moved to ‘t Gooi in 1996. So much has changed since then. So many horeca and so many terrassen. I think that must be because of the no smoking inside policy. Now the uitbaters (what shamma call it?) need to have a terras where people can smoke, I think.

  7. At about 6.40: hear those jackdawsmaking a racket! As smart as 7 year olds, according to some scientists.

  8. How lovely and peaceful! There is so much walking room, and so little car traffic

  9. Hi!! I Live now in The Haque, but i am on a waitinglist for Centraal wonen in de Stadsoase in Leiden. Ifeel much for moving to Leiden. I studied Archeology there, so I know the city. It is is a nice city.

  10. This video feels like a content palate cleanser (don't worry, I mean that in the nicest way). It's a WONDERFUL Zen-like experience before we get all the amazing content you two have coming! Looking forward to what's next.

  11. Great, never been to Leiden before but now i got a good impression of how it looks like over there.

  12. Ty so much that you've taken the time to post even though Tracy is still in the US! Hope life isn't too lonely. Good thing your saucy (get it?🤭) doggy is with ya!

    I'd be interested in seeing a top 10 of favorite sites at the end of the year. As in, the entire country, but perhaps you've already connected so much to Leiden that all of your favorites are right there.🥰Hope you had a good time returning to your former stomping-grounds!

  13. Thank you for taking us on your walk with you, Travis!! It was cool to hear the surrounding sounds. What a beautiful city you and Tracey live in!😊

  14. Most beautiful town on the face of the earth. Small remark: tilt the camera a bit downward when filming. Dutch skies are way less interesting than Dutch sidewalks. It affects the lighting of the video in anegative way as well.

  15. You should put a disclaimer with your comment ''This intersection always feels risky'' because let me tell you, that intersection is like 99% more safe than pretty much all of the world haha. Even if Leiden isn't the best city, regarding mobility. It's still the Netherlands, even the worst rated cities (not saying this is one of those) are better than most of any other city in the world. But then again, that's just the dutch mobility system being top notch.

  16. You just made me want to visit Leiden … again. I saw streets and bridges i didn't know existed. What a beautiful city. Thank you Travis, it's so interesting to see the Netherlands through your expat eyes… love it.

  17. Unfortunately, you skipped the absolute most beautiful part of the Old Town; the Pieterskwartier, including Rapenburg, The Hortus, and the 5e Binnenvestgracht. Check it out, I walk through there almost daily.
