I felt totally safe. All islanders are totally nice, speak English or German. Nature is beautiful, animals everywhere, especially sheep. There are more sheep on Texel than people, so you can find small lambs at any time of the year. On the west side are white beaches and impressive dunes. And in the east is in the Wadden Sea with a great bike path along. Perfect for recreation. As everywhere in the Netherlands, there is at least one mini campsite in almost every village. The ones I visited all clean and quiet. Texel is perfect for learning to surf through the mostly gentle but cold North Sea. The lighthouse in the far north is enchanting and definitely worth a climb.

Hi sisters, i'm Lisa and I live on the beautiful island of Texel in the Netherlands. I met some lovely sisters on my last trip and definitely want to meet some more. I don't know if there even are people on this app that know the island, but lets give it a try :) I'm also able to come to Amsterdam, Haarlem or Alkmaar or maybe another dutch city. Its a pity that I can't host someone at the moment, otherwise I invited you all to come visit the island! I'm a very easy going, polite, funny and talkative girl who loves it to be around people. I actually like a lot of things.. going for a walk, spend time in nature, explore new places, listen to some good music or have a good conversation over a cup of tea.
