Job function: Reception

Favourite restaurant: Da Portare Via, they only serve pizzas but also for take-away. The wine is super, only the fluorescent light makes it a bit less cosy.

Favourite bar: Weber and Lux, I go there all the time. They are next door to each other, they’re small but have a very nice vibe. It’s not too chic or trendy!

Favourite club: Club Air, it has the size of the popular club Escape and the allure of the Jimmy Woo. And it’s really beautifully decorated.

Favourite coffee shop: Tweedy’s, here you can buy great weed to smoke it in the very nearby Vondelpark.

Favourite attraction in Amsterdam: Foam, a photography museum with impressive exhibitions.
Nemo, the technical gadgets are very interesting, even though it’s more meant for children. They also show scientific experiments.
