NDSM

Art City NDSM

The Open Ateliers at Art City NDSM are the best excuse to go check out the ‘hood and see it in all its creative glory.

Amsterdam on a budget, for locals and visitors

Exploring Amsterdam on a budget is not only possible, but it can also enhance the whole experience. A budget forces us to be more creative in the ways that we navigate and interact with environments and people, which is all the more enriching. I can’t tell you how often I had to challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone when traveling because of money restrictions. Today we’re turning an apparent limitation into an asset.

This summer love

I was busy as hell when I met him and I didn’t really feel that I had the mental space for romantic encounters. And yet, there I was, getting more and more fascinated by this person who had come from a country I had never visited before, who had flown across continents, just to land in Amsterdam and ask me about the fish in the Ij, and sit by my side, one sunny Monday afternoon at the NDSM.
