Significado
Stating a hobby.
Contexto cultural
The Dutch are known for their 'reislust'. It is very common to discuss your next vacation even before the current one has ended. Being 'dol op reizen' is a standard social trait. While Flemish people also use 'dol op', they might more frequently use 'zot van' (crazy about) which has a slightly more dialectal, warm feel. In the Surinamese-Dutch community, expressions of passion are often very vibrant, and 'dol op' is used frequently for family and food. Expats often use this phrase to integrate. Dutch people appreciate it when foreigners express enthusiasm for 'reizen' as it's a shared national hobby.
Use it for food!
Dutch people use 'dol op' constantly for food. 'Ik ben dol op pannenkoeken!' is a great way to show enthusiasm at a dinner.
Preposition Alert
Always use 'op'. Using 'van' or 'voor' is the most common mistake for English speakers.
