About me

Hi,  welcome to my blog! I am excited to see you here and get you inspired. My name is Petra, a 30 something Account Manager in Media and born and raised in The Netherlands.

I have a great passion and curiosity when it comes to green hotspots and I am always dying to check out ’the new place in town’, whether it’s in Amsterdam, The Netherlands or abroad.

I have listed for you: the most beautiful plant stores, great bars, amazing restaurants, sustainable hotels, city gardens, concept stores, inspirational interviews, events, you name it, all with green character.

Sustainability, biodiversity and an ecofriendly society becomes more and more important and I love seeing companies across all industries already making ‘greener’ decisions. 

With this blog I wanted to create a platform where I give companies with a sustainable strategy a stage, which I believe is necessary to stay competitive today. I hope you like it. Enjoy!

Travelling

Travelling is what I like most. It takes me out of my comfort zone and inspires me to see, taste and try new things. At the top of my travel wish list is the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London. Now the borders are open again I will book this trip as soon as possible!

Photography

Since lockdown I have started to focus more and more on my hobby photography. Now I still take all my photos with the Iphone 12 Pro, but in the future I want to switch to a real camera. First I need to take a course I guess!

Writing

Ever since I was young I loved to write! I lived in Istanbul for several years and wrote a blog about hotspots in that city. I am now continuing this passion in the Netherlands. English is not my mother tongue so please excuse any mistakes 😉 I just want to make this platform as accessible as possible for everyone.

Music

My Spotify playlist is endless and is on repeat non-stop. I also recently discovered podcasts so they have been added to the list as well. The ones about personal development like for example from Michael Pilarczyk and Celine Charlotte I like most.
