A Nomax meetup took me to Museumbrouwerij De Roos and an evening in Piushaven — great beer, local stories and easy to join as a lone traveler. We even caught a live show at 013 afterwards.
I found a cycling group via Nomax and we rode out to the Loonse en Drunense Duinen—an effortless way to see the region and make lasting travel friends. The group was welcoming and well-organized.
