Gazing at the old-fashioned windmills of ZAANSE SCHANS.
Notably, one of the most beautiful and picturesque villages in the Netherlands.

It is a unique historical windmill village that offers a perfectly preserved glimpse of the country's industrial past with its traditional houses, windmills, warehouses and workshops. Many of its village houses are now turned into museums, gift shops or workshops, while others are still used as private residences.

The majority of locations are free to visit including all traditional Dutch trades, several museums, various shops and of course its friendly, cozy restaurants. However, windmills, sightseeing cruise, and some of the museums charge an entrance fee.

TOP ATTRACTIONS YOU CAN SEE IN ZAANSE SCHANS:

🎯ZAANSE SCHANS WINDMILLS, which most people associate with Holland
🎯The CATHARINA HOEVE CHEESE FARM, a great place to catch a live demonstration on how cheese is made in the Netherlands and taste freely the difference of goat cheese, cow cheese, and sheep cheese.
🎯Exploring the ZAANSE MUSEUM
🎯The ZAANSE SCHANS CLOG WORKSHOP, where you can watch a clog maker chisel a pair of wooden shoes from a block of wood
🎯The ZAANSE TIME MUSEUM, which houses an impressive collection of clocks dating back to 1600s.
🎯The BAKERY MUSEUM, that fills the air with the scent of delicious pastries; and
🎯The small ALBERT HEIJN GROCERY STORE MUSEUM, where you can see what it was like to go shopping for food in the 1800s

ARE YOU PLANNING TO VISIT THE NETHERLANDS?
~If so, include Zaanse Schans in your itinerary and explore the entire area on foot. It is definitely worth a day trip♥️

Feeling thrilled in this fairy-tale like location.🛶
Commonly known as "VENICE OF THE NETHERLANDS".

WHAT CAN YOU FIND IN GEITHOORN?

☘️ mostly car-free village
☘️boat-filled waterways
☘️hand-dug canals & 176 bridges
☘️footpaths & bicycle trails
☘️typical Dutch houses with thatched roofs
☘️farm houses
☘️tourist shops & restaurants
☘️guided cruise and museums

WHAT TO DO IN GEITHOORN?

The best way to experience the fascinating beauty of Geithoorn is by taking a guided canal cruise. The boat captain can speak several languages and will tell you all special things about the village.
To feel like a local, you really need a boat to sail around through the narrow canals and under the bridges. It's either you can rent your own boat, take a canal cruise with a tourist guide, or hiring a private boat tour.

If you prefer to walk or cycle around the village, so you can have a nice view of the houses that stand next to the canal, that is also a better idea. You just have to be extra careful because the bikepath is also used as a footpath for all the travellers and inhabitants of the village.

ADD TO YOUR BUCKET LIST ADVENTURES AND BEHOLD ITS FULLY MAN MADE WORK♥️

Many of you wondered how I got here? How is it possible? Are you a teacher still? You got a job? How to apply? What are the required documents to prepare for the application?
These are common questions until now I have constantly received from the people. In this newly created page, I will share it to you what is my purpose of living in a foreign country and what I am doing here abroad.

I am actually a Licensed Professional Teacher in the Philippines. I was teaching in a private school for about 2 years. While working, I am starting to apply in a CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM (AU PAIR) bound to Europe in one of the renowned agencies based in the Netherlands.

To clear up your mind, this is NOT a work, but a program that gives you a great opportunity to spend some time abroad, learn more about different cultures and traditions, improve your skills in learning their language, in exchange for help with duties related to CHILDCARE.

WHAT IS AN AU PAIR?
✓ a young person either male or female between 17 and 30 years old
✓who is unmarried and do not have children of their own
✓who will stay with a Host Family, learn their language and culture in exchange for help with childcare responsibilities
✓who gets free accommodation, regular meals and monthly allowance for personal expenses
✓considered a full member of the host family during the temporary period of an au pair stay
✓is NOT a cleaning lady or a full time nanny

Let us say that you are qualified as an au pair.

HOW TO APPLY?
~ If you are in the Philippines right now, you can apply directly to HAPPY AU PAIR AGENCY, and SUNSHINE AGENCY. These agencies mentioned are accepting aspiring aupairs directly from the Philippines🇵🇭 to the Netherlands🇳🇱 Just browse it in google and you will be directed to their page. They will provide you with an important requirements for you to prepare and process. One thing is for sure, NO PLACEMENT FEE, in applying to the agency. VISA AND AIR TICKET IS FREE provided by the host family. But of course you have to pass the agency's interview and if you are successful in the initial interview, they will provide you a host family that is likely to have an interview with you. If you are perfectly matched with your host family and be willing to get you and start the process, all I can say to you then, your Europe journey is waving!

Maybe this is your great chance and opportunity to travel and explore more countries around Europe. Not only, but also, to be acquainted with the European cultures and traditions. To meet new people and broaden your perspective in life. And to immerse yourself into a new environment where you can learn to live a life away from your comfort zone. Beautiful isn't it? Once you got your resident permit, it would be possible for you to enter 26 Schengen countries were you can travel freely without a passport or a visa. This includes Greece🇬🇷, Austria🇦🇹, Italy🇮🇹, Iceland🇮🇸, Sweden🇸🇪, Estonia🇪🇪, France🇨🇵, Portugal🇵🇹, Spain🇪🇦, Finland🇫🇮, Denmark🇩🇰, Lithuania🇱🇹, Slovakia🇸🇰, Switzerland🇨🇭, Czech Republic🇨🇿,Germany🇩🇪, Poland🇵🇱, Latvia🇱🇻, Luxembourg🇱🇺, Norway🇧🇻, Malta🇲🇹, Belgium🇧🇪, Slovenia🇸🇮, Liechtenstein🇱🇮,Hungary🇭🇺 and Netherlands🇳🇱.
