Amsterdam. We are having a Blast.

If you are somehow connected to me personally, via twitter, or Facebook you have probably heard that I have just moved to Amsterdam.

Apart from being overwhelmed by a lot of travelling lately I am now living in an appartment of a friend in one of the coolest cities on the planet. My new employer is Blast Radius, a very dynamic, young and creative agency from Vancouver, Canada. It is responsible for some very successful digital ideas for Starbuck’s, Michelin, Nokia and many others. And I am proud to be part of the team now.

What I can say from about 48 hours in Amsterdam is this – It is a fantastic small big city which makes it easy for strangers to feel pretty much at home in a short period of time. Even though it is freezing cold for June, you can simply explore the many little streets, have a coffee in one of the myriads of small restaurants or smoke try delicious Indonesian food. Looks like a good city to move to. Plus my new colleagues seem to be as perfect to hang out with as my former friends and colleagues at Neue Digitale / Razorfish. I miss you anyway, guys.

    Good one Andrea. Digital ad people + Amsterdam + canal videos = awesome.
