Vanessa has lived in the Netherlands since 2012 and brings a unique, thoughtful perspective to every tour she leads. With a background in architecture and design history, she works at the intersection of creativity, research, and teaching.

Vanessa is deeply fascinated by how design decisions shape society—how buildings, streets, and museums quietly tell stories about who we are and how we live. She sees cities and museums as living holders of knowledge and ritual: carefully curated in some moments, wonderfully spontaneous in others.

Her tours go beyond facts and dates. They offer insight, context, and moments of reflection—inviting you to experience the Netherlands through a slower, richer, and more meaningful lens.
