Do y'all hate those AI flyers as much as I do? 🤮

I’m hosting Dutch by Design: The Amsterdam Experience 🌷 next spring which is the PERFECT trip for those that need to get away but don’t have time to figure out the logistics. 🙌🏼

I’m looking for the people who:
🥂 Bring good vibes, love making new connections, and leave room for spontaneous fun
🧇 Are ready to eat their weight in stroopwafels
🌷 Would rather have a host guiding them everywhere instead of figuring it out on your own
👀 Love to sit on a bench and people watch for hours
😂 Has an amazing sense of humor + is ready to laugh til your belly hurts

If you want a kid free trip that’s taken care of for you with no decision fatigue - this is it. It’s perfect for couples, friends, mom/daughters, or solo! We’ll have 22 people there, plus a professional photographer, and my husband + I as your hosts! You get time away with your travel partner, but you also get to meet a whole new group of people who will turn into friends. I also offer roommate matching if you want to come but don’t have anyone to join you 👯‍♀️

It’s the ultimate “I need someone to take care of me” trip if you just need a break from life and all the chaos that’s going on back home ✨

After the deposit, I have customized payment plans available. The final payment isn’t due until February! 💸

If you want to join us in Amsterdam, check out the itinerary below or message me for the info! 🌷✈️🛶🫶🏼

I've decided that my Amsterdam trip WILL be sold out by August 4th (don't ask why because I strictly chose it based on vibes)...

So.. here's what's up:
👉🏼 The Amsterdam content isn't going anywhere... I know some of y'all are SICK of me, but the fact is there are still people messaging me that they had no idea I was doing this trip, and I'd be doing myself a disservice if I stopped now.

👉🏼 I need you to SHARE the info with a friend, even if you can't go with us, you probably know someone who wants to! So TAG THEM below ⬇️

👉🏼 I'm offering a $25 Amazon gift card for every BOOKED referral that comes through. With 17 spots left - that's $425 in Amazon money that could be yours 🫨 (Terms + conditions apply)

Tag a friend! Or DM me and let's get YOU booked. I know you wanna 😜 Details in my bio!

🛑 EXCLUSIVE ONE TIME OFFER 🛑

Due to extreme demand, I was able to get TWO more solo rooms for my Amsterdam trip. One has already been claimed in less than a few hours, which means there is ONE SOLO ROOM left.

If you want to join us but don't have a travel partner to bring or don't want to share a room with someone, this is your FINAL opportunity to have a room all to yourself. I really can't add any more after it's gone.

💰 Total cost is $7464 with a $1000 deposit to lock it in (this comes off the total). Payment plans are available. If you want it but aren't sure how to make it work - DM me. You never know what can happen if you don't ask!

I really can't stop thinking about my Amsterdam trip... and no.. I won't stop talking about it either 😂

It's all gonna be great... but I'm thinking my two favorite experiences will be the private flower farm and the farm to table dinner.

Yes - PRIVATE flower farm. As in, not open to the public. No crowds. Because when you come places with me you get VIP treatment 🤪

And also an exclusive private dinner at an epic farm to table restaurant you can only get to by boat 😍 Literally SUCH a vibe.
So - you coming with or you staying home and watching everything you're missing out on from your couch?

SOLO ROOMS ARE SOLD OUT!

My last solo occupancy room for Amsterdam was claimed yesterday 🙌🏼

So that means I have 9 double occupancy rooms left! If you still want to join but don’t have a travel partner - I am offering roommate matching.

It will not be totally random. I have a questionnaire to fill out to be able to match people's personalities and travel styles as best as possible 👯

Shoot me a message if you have any questions about the remaining spots!

I know my trip to Amsterdam isn't "cheap" .. and it was never meant to be. But I know it's worth every penny.

Think about it... when you get there you don't have to worry about paying for:
🍽️ majority of your meals
💰 that insane 12.5% tourist tax
🚕 transportation anywhere
🗺️ tips for guides + drivers
🛜 wifi so you can call home
🍹drinks at cocktail hour
📸 professional pictures on our group outings

Plus... you get to travel with me. And I'm a really good time.. so there's that. 💁🏼‍♀️

Could you go to Amsterdam for less? Probably... but you're going to come home with a bill that you probably weren't expecting or prepared for. This gives you a chance to make payments over time, ahead of time, so when you get there - you can just relax, enjoy, and be taken care of.

So what do ya say? You coming with?
