Do y'all hate those AI flyers as much as I do? ๐Ÿคฎ

Iโ€™m hosting Dutch by Design: The Amsterdam Experience ๐ŸŒท next spring which is the PERFECT trip for those that need to get away but donโ€™t have time to figure out the logistics. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Iโ€™m looking for the people who:
๐Ÿฅ‚ Bring good vibes, love making new connections, and leave room for spontaneous fun
๐Ÿง‡ Are ready to eat their weight in stroopwafels
๐ŸŒท Would rather have a host guiding them everywhere instead of figuring it out on your own
๐Ÿ‘€ Love to sit on a bench and people watch for hours
๐Ÿ˜‚ Has an amazing sense of humor + is ready to laugh til your belly hurts

If you want a kid free trip thatโ€™s taken care of for you with no decision fatigue - this is it. Itโ€™s perfect for couples, friends, mom/daughters, or solo! Weโ€™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 donโ€™t have anyone to join you ๐Ÿ‘ฏโ€โ™€๏ธ

Itโ€™s the ultimate โ€œI need someone to take care of meโ€ trip if you just need a break from life and all the chaos thatโ€™s going on back home โœจ

After the deposit, I have customized payment plans available. The final payment isnโ€™t due until February! ๐Ÿ’ธ

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:
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ 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.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ 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 โฌ‡๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ 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 ๐Ÿซจ (Terms + conditions apply)

Tag a friend! Or DM me and let's get YOU booked. I know you wanna ๐Ÿ˜œ Details in my bio!

๐Ÿ›‘ EXCLUSIVE ONE TIME OFFER ๐Ÿ›‘

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.

๐Ÿ’ฐ 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!

06/29/2026

I really can't stop thinking about my Amsterdam trip... and no.. I won't stop talking about it either ๐Ÿ˜‚

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 ๐Ÿคช

And also an exclusive private dinner at an epic farm to table restaurant you can only get to by boat ๐Ÿ˜ Literally SUCH a vibe.
So - you coming with or you staying home and watching everything you're missing out on from your couch?
