🇳🇱 Why I Keep Falling for Haarlem

✨ "Turns out, my soul was Dutch all along—just needed to escape Amsterdam’s chaos!" ✨ 🚂 The Practical Love From Sloterdijk station: A breezy 10-min train ride 🚆 (same time as my metro commute!) "It’s not a trip—it’s a mood reset." 💖 The Emotional Love 1️⃣ Spotless streets 🧼 Narrow alleys without Amsterdam’s trash/piss vibe (sorry not sorry) 2️⃣ Anxiety-free zone 🧠 No exam/work stress ghosts lurking (looking at you, Uni of Amsterdam libraries 👻) 3️⃣ Goldilocks crowds 👥 Busy enough to feel alive, quiet enough to hear canal ripples 🌷 The Dutch Town Hierarchy (for INFP Souls) 🥇 Haarlem (15 mins) → 🥈 Utrecht (25 mins) → 🥉 Leiden (35 mins) "Sorry Den Haag—you’re lovely but too far for spontaneity!" 🏃‍♀️ The Deeper Why "Amsterdam holds my stress memories; Haarlem holds my breath." Architecture therapy: Those gabled houses are literally serotonin 🏡💊 #HaarlemLove #DutchTherapy #INFPtravel #CityWalkHeals
