27 tips for this weekend in the amsterdam weekend guide
I’ve had another special moment this week. I got the very first copy of my new book Feed Your Wanderlust on my doormat! This new guide with lots of travel tips for an adventurous life will be in stores in a couple of weeks, but if you like you can already order it online!
And that’s just the beginning, because there’s a nice weekend waiting for me! As this Sunday I’m speaking at the event of the Goaldiggers Club in the W Hotel. Curious? You’ll read all about it here! And for the rest, I’m really looking forward to doing nice things in Amsterdam. Maybe go for a stroll around the market at the Noordermarkt, and taking a walk through the Jordaan afterwards and cuddle my men a little extra, because next week I’m leaving for San Francisco to make a brand new travel guide!
NICE: Are you going on a trip anytime soon and would you like to get a personal card from me containing tips for your destination? Doesn’t matter if it’s Copenhagen or New York, Ibiza or Bali, I’d love to share my personal favorites with you! Would you like to receive one of the ten postcards? You’ll read all about it here >>
