Hotspots, bubbles, and a hint of chaos - straight from the canals of Amsterdam.

Why play it safe when you can spill champagne and stories? From my teeny-tiny apartment in the heart of the city (or whichever café has stolen my heart that week), I write about the beautifully messy reality of being twenty-something in Amsterdam.

One day I’m pitching PR ideas or visiting the hottest bars with a bottle of Seventy One gin, the next I’m trying to convince my cat Joey he’s not the main character (he is). In between, I’m juggling relationships, hangovers, deadlines - and my never-ending hunt for the best bars, brunch spots and hidden gems Amsterdam has to offer.

Lisa in Amsterdam is a curated lifestyle blog blending personal stories with fashion finds, foodie favourites, hospitality insights and honest takes on city life - all rooted in the rhythm of this wildly unpredictable city I call home.

Say hi!

Got something exciting coming up? A brand, restaurant, event, or story that deserves the spotlight?
I love working with brands that match my world – authentic, a little bold, and always with good taste.

Let’s chat about press invites, collabs, or creative ideas over coffee – or champagne.
