Lauren Murphy is of Dutch, British and - duh - Irish descent, and loves rhubarb, waterfalls and ghost stories. After studying in New York and exploring the globe with her trusted travel diary and her collection of heavy vintage cameras, she's now touched base in Amsterdam, her first love. There, she divides her time between writing, editing, translating and photographing for print and online, as well as setting up cultural events and movie screenings. After all - why choose when there is so much to see?
Amsterdam always delivers, packed as it is with romantic cobblestone streets and canal waterways lined with lilting merchant houses, eyebrow-raising museums and independent design studios crafting everything from art to fixie bikes.
