Between its progressive attitude towards recreational drugs, the red light district and a laundry list of other "pragmatic tolerances," Amsterdam often gets a bad wrap among many. On the contrary, I believe Amsterdam is one of the most charming cities in all of Europe (and one of my favorite in the world!)
In this session, we will focus on which tourist traps you should avoid (and which popular attractions are worth the hype). I’ll also each be sharing a some of my local favorites I’ve discovered over the years spending time there.
Coming out of this course, you’ll know which neighborhoods best suit your taste, how much time you need, when is the best time of year to visit, how around… and lots more!
Hi, I’m Whitney.
Travel Specialist + Founder of Blonde Atlas
After traveling to destinations around the world pretty much non-stop for the last 5 years, I've visited over 40 countries and 150 cities to date (I've even written about it for international publications like British Airways Magazine and Huffington Post!) I've learned loads along the way (if I had to guess, a lot of the travel questions you’re probably asking yourself right now are experiences that I’ve lived through first-hand!) As a social person by nature, I've built an extensive Rolodex of international friends who have taught me the best of their local cultures and shown me the their favorite spots in each destination. I love sharing that knowledge with other people so they can fall in love with travel the same way that I have. In fact, I love it so much, that I've made a full-time career as a bespoke travel planner! My goal is to empower people to learn more of the world so they can see more of it themselves.
