About Me

Amsterdam Marathon finish

I’m Tanya, a South African mom of two now living in Amsterdam. I’m a writer who works in content and advertising to pay for running shoes, trips to Paris, makeup and books.

We moved to Amsterdam in July 2020, and I have loved living here. On this blog, I write about stroopwafels, bikes, canals and culture, and the settling-in process. My other award-winning blogs (true story) can be found here and here.

I’ve started helping people who are thinking of immigrating to The Netherlands or are planning a move. If you have any questions or want to set up a session, you can contact me here.
