About My Travelgids
How did you started?
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the “go-to” person for travel tips.
Friends visiting Amsterdam would text me for my favorite cafés. Someone heading to Paris? I’d send a long voice note with exactly where to stay, shop, and eat. My phone was full of notes, maps, and messages that always started with “You have to try this…”
So one day, I thought — why not put it all in one place?
My Travelgids is that place.
A collection of deeply personal, carefully curated travel guides. Every spot is either somewhere I’ve fallen in love with or a gem recommended by someone I trust completely. There’s nothing random here — no paid placements, no tourist traps. Just the places I genuinely think you’ll love.
This is how I travel: slowly, curiously, and always with a list of good spots in my back pocket. Now, I’m sharing that with you.
Who is it for?Travelers who like to feel like locals. Friends of friends. People who believe in quality over quantity. And anyone who loves discovering a city’s hidden soul.What kind of places will I find here?The kind of places you tell your best friend about. Everything has been seen, tasted, or explored by me or someone I trust. If it’s not special, it’s not here.Who’s behind it?Hi, that’s me Vanessa 👋 I’m the founder, curator, and biggest fan of My Travelgids. I’ve spent years exploring cities, collecting spots that felt special, and now I’m sharing them with you.Is it just for Amsterdam?Amsterdam is where it all started (and will always be close to my heart), but My Travelgids is growing to include other cities I adore — and every one of them has been explored with care.
