We shall meet at a suitable point, depending on where you are coming from or are staying in The Hague. From there, I shall drive you to the dunes. The dunes surrounding The Hague are part of the National Park Hollandse Duinen. We shall have a walk of around 2 - 2.5 hours (8.0 kilometers / 5.0 miles) through this gorgeous landscape. The dunes offer a wide variety of vegetation and wildlife. Our route shall be partly on paved roads but for the greater part on sand. Here and there we need to climb the dunes. During the tour I will tell you about the history of this area as well as its importance both as a defense against the sea and as a source of our drinking water in this area. If we are lucky, we may encounter some of the larger wildlife roaming around in this area such as Konik horses, Galloway cows, deer and foxes. After we have finished our walk, I will drive you back to the meeting point. Please contact me regarding any questions or in case your desired date is not open in the calendar. Other things to note At the moment, the maximum group size for this experience is 3 people because of current Covid-19 measures. Please contact me about any modifications or special wishes to customize your experience.

We will start the workshop with a warm welcome in my home, a coffee or tea and we will get to know each other a little bit. I will also explain you all about leathercrafting and the steps we will take during the workshop. When we are ready to start, you will each be provided with a piece of leather and all tools necessary for making your specific leathercraft. Together, we will work step by step, me checking every step to assure that it has been done perfectly and help resolve any issues that you may have throughout the process, making sure that you pay special attention to all the little yet important details necessary for creating a perfect piece. At the end of the workshop, I will be teaching you how to carve your name or initials on leather, so you could create your own personalized brands on your unique products! PLEASE NOTE: To make sure you will have a professional and finished product at the end of the workshop, you will go home with a product I created before, as shown in the pictures. In case you would like to create and take home your own product, please look at the other design workshops or write me a message for more information! Other things to note: *If the timetable does not work for you, message me and we reschedule! *The workshop is also offered in Spanish and Dutch! *Orders of specific designs are accepted. Additional costs may apply.

Each gin tasting experience lasts about 45 minutes. My distillery is small and bijou, so its like walking into someones home.... but with a bar and a still! What I cover in the tasting is how I set up the distillery, how I make gin and then we will taste each of the four gins and I will make you a gin and tonic of your favourite one. I encourage you to be inquisitive, to be curious and ask questions. The tasting experiences are always run in small groups so we can take our time and explore. It also means that no two tastings are the same! Then of course, you will have the opportunity to buy a bottle or a gift for a gin lover! Other things to note Make sure that you wear comfortable shoes! We are a working distillery and you will be standing for the tasting experience! There is no food for sale so if you think you will need a snack, please bring your own Water, gin, tonic and garnishes are provided! We have bathrooms on site too!

Together we are going to co-write a song from scratch and then we’re going to record (demoing) our fresh song 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. Maybe some catchy songtitles. Try to write a poem of at least 16 lines. If you're able to write a Lyric, that's fine as well. It's OK to bring your own instrument. Pen and paper, or laptop, iPad or phone to write down, or 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 hours. - Studio experience, by recording your vocals, or instrument, in our new COVID-19 proof vocal booth. - We record the basic song idea, so maynly 2 tracks, the chords and the melody (.. because that's all we can do in a short timeframe). - If you're interested, you can pickup some awesome sound-engineering tips from Ron. After our song has been recorded, I’ll do a quick mix for you to take home so you can play the song for your family and friends. How awesome! You have written your very own song!! Other things to note Allergy alert: We have a cat! Her name is Fara. She loves people and children, all good, but she is a problem cat from the animal shelter and attacks other animals that comes into the house big or small. So no dogs in or around the house. We have air conditioning. Wheelchair accessible house.

You will set off in a small group by bike through Amsterdam's best-kept secret, the Westzijderveld. This area, with wet meadows that lie just above, or even below, the water table, is a paradise for meadow birds. A farm landscape with long ditches, pollard-willows and cows, turning mills and swaying reed beds is . An example of a truly typical Dutch landscape. When you cycle over the dike, you feel the wind blowing and you look almost beyond the horizon, where the windmills are turning. You visit a working windmill, where you can experience the power of a windmill yourself. The miller will also be happy to answer your questions. This area is only accessible by bike, there are no groups of tourists here and it is therefore a unique experience. Next, you will cycle through an authentic neighborhood with working-class houses. You will see with your own eyes how people used to live there and also pass the rich merchant houses with their beautiful decorations. Finally you will visit the Zaanse Schans, where you will see how they make clogs and cheese. And there is extensive opportunity to taste this Dutch delicacy. Holland is water country, so there is no better ending to this tour than returning to Amsterdam by boat. You'll sail through the Amsterdam Port area all the way to Amsterdam Central Station. A great opportunity to experience the dutch landscape, history and culture.
