Hello, my name is Zinzy Waleson Geene. I’m a diary-keeper and designer with various interests, ideas, and values. Learn more about me or this website. Don’t forget to sign my guestbook, and consider this an open invitation to say hello.

  • 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.
