In Amsterdam this time. And yes&#8230; still awkward. But as a reward for stepping outside of my comfort zone, I decided to buy a decent vlogging camera: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B01BYERRUG\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=B01BYERRUG&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=urbapixx-21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Canon G7 X MARK II<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=urbapixx-21&amp;l=as2&amp;o=2&amp;a=B01BYERRUG\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\">. New gadgets always help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently this is&nbsp;what many of the serious vloggers are using. It&#8217;s a compact camera, so lighter and easier to use than a DSLR. Especially when you&#8217;re filming yourself (also known as &#8217;the awkward scenes&#8217;). Plus it has this nice tilt-up touchscreen so you can see what you&#8217;re filming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanpixxels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Things-to-do-in-Amsterdam-9-Straatjes-Pluk-1.jpg\" alt=\"Things to do in Amsterdam.

Just like <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanpixxels.com\/my-5-new-favorite-places-in-amsterdam-video\/\">last time<\/a>, I find it challenging to be a tourist in my own country. So instead of filming me as a tourist, I decided to show you what I normally do when I&#8217;m in Amsterdam. Spoiler alert: there&#8217;s lots of eating involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So basically: Things to do in Amsterdam, the local edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things to do in Amsterdam | Travel Vlog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Things to Do in Amsterdam | Travel Vlog\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OfNPzm8he-g?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"9776\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanpixxels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Things-to-do-in-Amsterdam-The-Cold-Pressed-Juicery-Green-Smoothie-684x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Things to do in Amsterdam.
