The Castle, Pieterskerk, cute streets and beautiful spots along the canals. I will take you to the most beautiful places in the city. TIME IS NEGOTIABLE! Sunrise is the best time, both light wise and because it's still quiet. Sunset is the second best. But any other time is possible. It's up to you. A shoot includes 25 photo's. Suitable for those who have never done a shoot before. Since I have a lot of experience in front of the camera, I can also help you with poses :) I am a local, I grew up in this city, so I know all the nice places. I travel a lot myself, as a digital nomad. So, I like to show people my city when I am in the country! Wear clothes you feel comfortable in. Whether that's a nice dress or a comfortable jumper doesn't matter. If you don't feel comfortable, it will show in the photos. Feel free to bring more clothes to change into. Please let me know you'd want a clothes change, so I will adjust the route to pass some public toilets to change. :) If it clicks, we can chat afterwards with a cup of coffee :) Questions? Feel free to ask them.

Together we are going to co-write one song from scratch and then we’re going to record (demoing) our fresh song idea in our recording studio. No experience required! It’s ok if you can’t play an instrument. What you bring along: Ideas for what you like to write about. It's OK to bring your own instrument. Bring something like pen and paper, laptop, iPad or phone to write down, and maybe hum, your lyric ideas. We have an acoustic guitar, electric guitars, bass guitar and piano in the house. What we will learn: - Co-write a song and all within a short timeframe of 3,5 hours. - Studio experience, by recording your vocal, or instrument. - We record the basic song idea, so mainly 2 tracks, the chords and the melody. - Author rights in co-writing sessions are always equally shared no matter how big or small each contribution. It’s a universal rule. After the song has been recorded, I send you off and spend 2 more hours or so on adding more instruments if necessary and mixing it together as a producer. Than, I’ll make you a mp3 for you to take home so you can play the demo/song-idea for your family and friends. Congrats ! You have written your very own song! Wheelchair accessible house. Airconditioning.

Customers will be taken on a three-hour food tour, where they’ll pass by five local and unique places while they discover the city through its cuisine.

During the tour I'll tell about Rotterdam and it's history (and the history of the food), but we will also pass by the local chefs who can tell a lot about the city and her dishes as well. The tour includes: - 8-9 tastings, with optional drinks. - A food and travel loving tour guide. - A personal e-mail before and after the tour with food and travel tips about the Netherlands.
