About me
I came to Amsterdam in 2003 to start my master degree. After a year working and living in Berlin, I did not like this city at all: Unfriendly people in the restaurants, bars and public transport, too many tourists and I felt I could not go anywhere without being noticed.

After six months I could not imagine going anywhere else! The city full with tourists walking all over the streets or trying to bike is part of Amsterdam. This really has its charm.

Since 2004 I work in the hotel industry in Amsterdam and I am really loving this busy industry and making people having the time of their life. I really love finding new, beautiful and lovely spots in Amsterdam and after five years of living in Amsterdam I still find places I never been before!

Why Amsterdam?

• Because of the beautiful architecture of the “herenhuizen”;
• Every day is different with all kinds of social events;
• Because of the Amstel;
• A long history with many good stories;
• Because of the huge amount of “grachten” (canals);
• Always busy restaurants and bars;
• The weather is not always splendid, but Amsterdam still remains a lovely city!
