About

Hi! My name is Mr. Jordaan, it is so nice to meet you.

For many, many years now, Amsterdam has been my prior point of interest. I can tell you so much about its hidden treasures, you’ll never hear the end of it. So I decided to start this thing you like to call a blog, and keep you up to date on all my experiences. But firstly let me tell you a little something about myself.

I’ve been around for some quite some time now. I was born and raised in this beautiful, typical Amsterdam canal house at the Bloemgracht, located in my favorite neighborhood; the Jordaan. In the Jordaan you will find exciting art studios, quirky little shops and of course authentic Amsterdam bars & cafés. Ooh I can’t wait to tell you all about it.

As a traveller myself, I one day decided to advertise my own couch at the local tourist agency. I thought this would be a great way to meet some fellow travellers and share experiences together. As it was, it turned out to be a great succes! So I started expanding. So much, I eventually had to buy the house next door to keep up. I loved it! I have met the most amazing people, heard the greatest stories and learned the best kept secrets.

And now it is time to tell you all about it. Every Tuesday and Friday I will upload a new article on events, activities or hotspots in the Jordaan.

Sincerely,

Mr. Jordaan.
