At the beginning of 1992, I left London and came to Amsterdam for the first time. I walked out of Centraal Station and my first thoughts were: I'm home...

20 years on, I still live in this beautiful city which never ceases to amaze me or lose its edge. All too often, however, it's portrayed through tacky postcards and, somewhere along the way, picked up its enfant terrible reputation. But it's so much more and UnderwaterAmsterdam is all about finding those places which make Amsterdam the unique, historical, and architecturally-stunning city it is...

I work on this site for free: it's a hobby that got out of hand. But if you find the information useful, you can help by recommending this site to friends and by BOOKING YOUR HOTEL in Amsterdam and other European cities, here. Thanks!

My Background
I currently work as a freelance copywriter and editor for various advertising and communications agencies. See here.

I have a 2.1 BA (Hons) Graphic Design degree (specialising in Animation) from De Montford University, Leicester, UK. Additionally – and completely unrelated – I took a course in Empirical and Theoretical Parapsychology affiliated to the University of Amsterdam.

I also deejay at select events, friends' parties... or in the comfort of my own bedroom. See here.
