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 recording my podcast De Shift van Amsterdam, 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.
