• Colourful pink flowers in bloom at Flevopark in Amsterdam

    Millennial mixtape

  • A virgin margherita cocktail sits on a table at Ottolenghi Islington in London

    Celebrated seven years of sobriety with a very successful 0.00000% margherita at Ottolenghi. I’m not a complainer.

  • A perfectly blue, cloudless sky

    A seldom empty Amsterdam sky. I forgot how sweet the city is right after work.

  • A drug store window poster for baby milk contains curiosities

    If geitenmelk comes from goats, does peutermelk come from toddlers?

  • A man in a beanie sits in a beam of sunlight at a table and enjoys a cinnamon bun

    I want to have his attitude and energy when I grow up

  • A glass of water and a cappuccino sit on a wooden table at a coffee place

    A recent rediscovery has been 4850, a little cafe behind the hospital. It used to be Michelin-awarded fine dining, now’s it a coffee place and wine bar. During the week, they close at 3, but on Fridays, they’re open until 6. The team working there have such a great dynamic, and it’s fun to crack jokes with them. Perfect way to start the weekend.

  • The tram smells like perfume, coffee, and eggs. Amsterdam is cold, but the morning sun turns everything a beautiful orange. I have seven more days of antibiotics to go. I never thought I’d say it, but I can’t wait to go to the beach and sit in the sun.
