I love walking with the dogs in Beatrixpark. It's a park where all small dogs meet, it's the place where I am able to put my mind at ease.

Buffet van Odette is my favourite place for breakfast – it's super low key but they have the best food. I always do my business meetings here so it's kind of the place that reminds me that I'm doing quite well.

The Frozen Fountain is my favourite store for furniture, as they represent so much Dutch design talent!

Skins is my favourite skincare store – I'm there weekly, I'm obsessed with skincare.

La Fiorita is my favourite restaurant/ I go there for celebrations with my husband. It's the best [for] pure food and organic wines!

I love a boat tour over the Amstel. which is the most beautiful part of Amsterdam.
