Connect with Amsterdam Through a Local (Free Mini-Meetup – Max 3 Attendees)
Details
Please confirm your attendance with a private message. Otherwise, I’ll have to cancel your registration and offer the spot to someone else.
New in Amsterdam & staying for a while?
Are you an international living in Amsterdam for 1 month up to 2 years, eager to (finally) understand how the city really works, socially and culturally, from a local’s perspective?
Join a small, personal weekly meetup (max. 3 participants) with local expert Emma.
What you'll get
A crash course in feeling at home in Amsterdam, with insights tailored to your interests:
- Today’s culture, trends, and subcultures
- Neighborhood vibes and unwritten rules
- Amsterdam’s history (short & relevant)
- Practical tips for daily life (places, events, media, and more)
- A bit of Dutch, if you’d like
- Answers to whatever questions you bring
No preparation needed, just bring curiosity!
Why this works
With only 3 participants per session, it feels safe, personal, and relaxed. You’ll leave:
- More confident navigating daily life
- Less alone in your experience
- Energized and grounded in the city
