There’s something so satisfying about recommending a favorite restaurant to someone and hearing about their positive experience afterward. We often get asked by friends and family visiting Amsterdam for our favorite restaurants in the city, and have always pointed them to our Amsterdam Travel Guide. This time, we decided this topic deserved it’s own post. So, we’ve compiled our favorite…
Read the PostThough we’re rarely home in Amsterdam for months at a time, I still feel a sense of relief every time we return. The first thing we always do is open our windows to our front balcony (as long as it’s not raining!), sit outside and watch the canals. I’ve fallen more in love with living in this city than I…
Read the PostOver the weekend Amsterdam’s canals froze over and it was one of the most amazing sights we’ve ever seen. To give you an idea of how rare this is, the last time it happened was over 6 years ago! The Dutch don’t hesitate to take advantage of an opportunity to ice skate. The first day people were on the ice,…
Read the PostAmsterdam is one of my favorite places in the world. The city is downright charming, and there are endless things to see and do.

For starters — my father is Dutch, so The Netherlands is one of the first European countries I visited as a child. It leaves a lasting impression: the quaint cobblestone streets, smells of…
Read the PostUp until four years ago, I never worked from home. I always had a desk job and went into an office. Working from home was a huge shift for me when I started blogging. I’ve learned that I need a quiet, tidy space to be my most effective self. I tend to turn to books for productivity ideas, and platforms…
Read the PostGreetings from Prague! On my last Q&A I answered your questions about ways to monetize a blog, choosing between trendy versus lesser-known destinations, and what to pack for winter in Europe. You can read Q&A Volume 2 here, and Q&A Volume 1 here if you missed our first post of the series. Every few weeks I invite you to submit questions…
Read the PostGrowing up in California I never expected to love winter as much as I do now. I’ve always enjoyed the snow, but I had never sought it out until we moved to Amsterdam. Now when we plan our yearly travels I always have at least one winter destination in mind. I love the way snow transforms a city or makes…
