Snowed In, No Escape: Amsterdam at a Standstill
I got stuck in Amsterdam when the snow came down hard—flights canceled, trains frozen, city silent. I watched the departures board flicker with red, then gave up and wandered the canals, boots soaked through. I should’ve been frustrated. Instead, I felt oddly relieved. No pressure to see more, do more, be more. Just me, the hush of snow, and a city that didn’t care if I was productive or not.
Sometimes the best part of travel is when you’re forced to stop pretending you’re in control. I didn’t plan for stillness, but I needed it more than another museum.
