Welcome to my Netherlands!

Welcome to my Netherlands! *

Talking about myself? Still not my favorite thing. But as a radio journalist, I’ve spent years telling other people’s stories, and I know how to tell a good one. And the Netherlands? It has so many worth telling.

As a foreign correspondent, I explored this country from the inside out. Its art, history, politics, and everyday life were very important for me. My ultimate goal was to get closer to its soul.

I’ve called Amsterdam home for more than 22 years. It’s where I fell in love (again) with art and history. It’s where I went back to school, earned two degrees, and specialized in the Dutch Masters. Today, I combine storytelling with scholarship to give you more than a tour: I offer context, insight, and connection.

Of course, Amsterdam is magical. Nevertheless, the Netherlands has so much more to offer. I’d love to take you on a journey to places like Leiden and Delft, full of charm and wonderful stories. The Hague, the city of peace and justice, and administrative capital, the modern, bold, and creative Rotterdam, flower fields and countryside towns, especially stunning during the tulip season.

I often share glimpses of these stories on my blog, Postcard from Amsterdam, hoping to spark your curiosity.
