Road Trip to Hasselt and Radhadesh
We made a short trip to Hasselt and Radhesh just after the New Year. Radhadesh holds a special place in my heart and I love going there to seek blessings. As it is a long drive from Amsterdam we decided to stay overnight at Hasselt. It turned out to be a cute little town with […]

Bohemian Ifs and Classical Butts at the Hermitage
I had mentioned in my previous post of how we had spent a day at the Hermitage Museum and I wanted to share the pictures with you. It was a day of contrasts: the classical beauties in the museum alongside the rusted beauties on the canals. Each unique in their own way. I was hesitant to […]

Mindfulness and Dignita Hoftuin
I am going to share a secret with you; a delightful hangout joint that serves fresh yummy grub. Dignita Hoftuin right next to the Hermitage museum is my new favorite space in the city. I love the location, the food, and most of all the indulgent very “un-Amsterdam” service. Dignita Hoftuin offers a relaxed vibe […]

I found it charming in its no-fuss approach. A bit away from the center and the more popular De Pijp, located in Nederhoven, Khan is a bit off the […]

The Boho Life at Hutspot
Hutspot is one of the coolest spaces I have discovered in Amsterdam. It is a chilled-out creative area spread over two levels, in which you can work, lounge, shop, get a haircut, grab a coffee or a snack. It’s biggest plus point is its easy-going vibe. With multiple seating arrangements and a non-conformist atmosphere it […]

Art when Dark: Museum Night 2017
Is it art viewing? Is it a nightclub? Should we dance? Let’s grab a drink! Wanna hang out? Oh look, that’s a Rothko! This year the Museum Night in Amsterdam was outstanding. The transformation that the museums underwent was fascinating, dramatically turning from once strict sterile environments to wild psychedelic night clubs. We combined the […]
