mike’s 40th

IN AMSTERDAM 

In 2022, my friend Mike invited me to Amsterdam to celebrate his 40th birthday with a group of our friends from all over the world.

Much like Ryan’s birthday, Mike asked me to help make the trip special and to bring my ability to create spaces, plan itineraries, and to help make each moment more memorable.

MY ROLE

Mike had a very clear idea of what he wanted for his birthday, and needed me mostly to help keep energies aligned, read the people in the room to see if we needed anything, and to be the key problem solver if any issues were to arise. This also included:

  • Finding last-minute luxury accomodation in Amsterdam for 10 people

  • Solving an additional big issue that popped up last minute due to accomodation issues

  • Organising transportation to and from the accomodation to our bookings

  • Finding experiences in Amsterdam that would suit Mike’s taste

  • Reorganising the accomodation to fit a cuddle puddle and to bring portable lighting to transform the space

  • Helping Mike find music for experiences he wanted to run in our accomodation

  • Organising a grazing table for the day of Mike’s birthday
