Solo travel experience
Gouda is a beautiful little city. Famous for the cheese, kaas, and siroopwaffels, with a lovely market. It has a beautiful 15th centuary town square, with the town hall, church with gorgeous stained glass windows, and a great museum. It's not crazy busy or touristy, it's just a wonderful little dutch city to wonder through and relax.
