The plan is always simple: arrive, work, explore a little, and leave with some nice memories and a few photos. But Amsterdam has different ideas. Beneath the picture-perfect canals and tourist-friendly surface lies something more powerful: a place where temporary visitors accidentally discover what they’ve been missing.
