Only in Amsterdam! ๐Ÿšข๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ A DJ set aboard a GVB ferry for Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE)! For five days, ADE transforms the city into a global hub for electronic music, bringing together artists, fans and industry professionals. Love seeing music become part of everyday city life! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ #ADE #Amsterdam

Happy Tuesday #WSocial! โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ A chilly but beautiful #Amsterdam morning! ๐Ÿ‚ A little snap from my walk home from the gym along the waterfront. ๐Ÿ˜ One thing I love about living here is having so much within walking distance. The 15-minute city in action! ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿšฒ #Europe #Urbanism #WSocialPics

Back home in #Amsterdam! ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑโค๏ธ Loving these moody #October nights over the IJ. ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒ™ The city is also gearing up for Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), when electronic music takes over venues across the city for one of the worldโ€™s biggest electronic music gatherings! ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ #ADE #WSocialPics

Standing inside #Aachen Cathedral, where Charlemagne shaped medieval #Europe. ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ A reminder of how much history we inherit, and why preserving it matters. In an uncertain world, Europeโ€™s future still depends on dialogue, cooperation and the values we choose to uphold. โค๏ธ #Germany #WSocialPics

A little gem we discovered in #Aachen! ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช The Gin Library is a lovely, intimate cocktail bar with fantastic drinks and even better conversation with the owner. One of my favourite things about exploring #Europe is finding little independent places like this. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ #Germany #SupportLocal #Travel

Exploring beautiful #Monschau in #Germany today! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช A picturesque little town tucked away in the hills, full of historic buildings, winding streets and lovely riverside terraces. One of my favourite things about #Europe is discovering beautiful new places like this! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ #WSocialPics

๐Ÿบ European Beer Spotlight #04 ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿป Beer - Dom Kรถlsch ๐Ÿญ Brewery - Dom-Brauerei ๐Ÿ“ Cologne ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿบ Bar - Domkeller ๐Ÿ“ Aachen ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช First beer spotlight from Germany! ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Enjoying a Kรถlsch from Cologne in the wonderfully cosy Domkeller, right in the heart of Aachen. Loving the atmosphere here! ๐Ÿป #EuropeanBeer

Guten Abend from #Aachen! ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐ŸŒ„ Another European adventure, arriving by train from Amsterdam! ๐Ÿš†โค๏ธ I love how easy it is to explore #Europe sustainably by rail. Weโ€™re here for a few days! Any recommendations from my German friends for things we shouldnโ€™t miss? ๐Ÿป #Germany #WSocialPics

Amsterdam putting on quite the sunset last night ๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ While the canals of Amsterdam usually take centre stage, thereโ€™s something really special about the IJ. ๐Ÿ˜ Off on a little adventure this week so Amsterdam pics will have to wait as weโ€™ve got a new city to explore! ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช #Amsterdam #WSocialPics

Autumn evenings have arrived in Amsterdam ๐Ÿ‚โœจ The city is glowing, so I put the terrace lights on to join in. Hope everyoneโ€™s having a lovely evening! #Amsterdam #WSocialPics

Happy October W Social! โ˜€๏ธ Beautiful weather today in Amsterdam. Love seeing the city full of life along the canals. ๐Ÿšค๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ #Amsterdam

One of my favourite things about living in NDSM is watching its public art constantly evolve. ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Tonight was the opening of The Argonauts by Ivan Morison: three monumental sculptures exploring outsiders, transformation and how we share public space. #Amsterdam #NDSM #WSocialArt

๐Ÿบ European Beer Spotlight #03 ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿป Beer - IJwit ๐Ÿญ Brewery - Brouwerij โ€˜t IJ ๐Ÿ“ Amsterdam ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿบ Bar - Cafรฉ P96 ๐Ÿ“ Amsterdam ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ IJwit is one of my favourite go to beers on a night out in Amsterdam. And Brouwerij โ€˜t IJ is an iconic Amsterdam brewery. And Cafรฉ P96 letโ€™s you drink on a boat ๐Ÿ˜Ž #EuropeanBeer

๐Ÿบ European Beer Spotlight #02 ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿป Beer - Baanderij Blond ๐Ÿญ Brewery - Two Chefs ๐Ÿ“ Amsterdam ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿบ Bar - De Baanderij ๐Ÿ“ Amsterdam ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Our newest bar/restaurant in NDSM, De Baanderij, made their own brew in a joint venture with Amsterdam brewery Two Chefs. Love seeing local collaborations! #EuropeanBeer

A very Amsterdam commuting experience: occasionally having to stop and wait for the bridge to go up so a boat can sail through ๐Ÿ˜‚โ›ต๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Canโ€™t really complain about this kind of traffic! #Amsterdam

๐Ÿบ European Beer Spotlight #01 ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿป Beer - Lellebel ๐Ÿญ Brewery - Eeuwige Jeugd ๐Ÿ“ Amsterdam ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿบ Bar - IJver ๐Ÿ“ Amsterdam ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Think Iโ€™m going to make this an ongoing series! Highlighting European beers, where theyโ€™re brewed, and where I found them. Starting very close to home here in NDSM๐Ÿคฃ #EuropeanBeer

Something a little different to do in Amsterdam ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ STRAAT Museum in my home neighbourhood of NDSM is one of my favourites. 180+ works of street art, with the collection created on-site by artists from around the world. And the art continues outside across NDSM. #Amsterdam #NDSM

I love little maritime scenes like this around Amsterdam โš“๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Sometimes itโ€™s nice to just stop and appreciate the city around you. #Amsterdam #WSocialPics

One thing I love about shopping locally in Amsterdam: European and Dutch products arenโ€™t a niche choice, theyโ€™re justโ€ฆ there. Choosing local keeps more of our spending circulating closer to home. A small choice, but multiplied across a city it matters. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ (Brewery is Uiltje for those wondering!)๐Ÿป

Incredible to experience Zandvoortโ€™s final Dutch Grand Prix ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐ŸŽ๏ธ I respect the decision to end on a high rather than continue simply because they could. Knowing when something no longer fits your long-term strategy takes vision. Next chapter: Formula E in 2027 โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

I love the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam Centraal ๐Ÿš† Cities that prioritise public transport donโ€™t just reduce reliance on cars. They create social spaces that foster connection and everyday city life. Great public transport can become part of the social fabric of a city. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ #Amsterdam

Funny how your perspective on rain changes ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Iโ€™m usually wishing it away on a warm summer evening, but after a long, dry stretch, watching it fall across Amsterdam feels reassuring. Our cities and landscapes need days like this too ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ #Amsterdam

Not a bad way to spend a Friday evening. ๐ŸŒ™ Feet up, Dexter on neighbourhood watch, and Amsterdam glowing across the IJ. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ #WSocialPics

Had a few errands to run around Amsterdam this morning. Did everything by bike and was back home in under an hour. It still amazes me how much better everyday life feels when a city is built around proximity rather than cars - homes, shops, services and workplaces all mixed together. ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ #urbanism

Starting off my little corner of W with one of my favourite views of home. ๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Amsterdam across the IJ from Noord. Excited to be here on W to share places, photos, and ideas that make me excited about life in modern Europe and the future weโ€™re building. Seems like a pretty good place to start. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ
