About Netherlands 🤍
Our last month here feels bittersweet , filled with gratitude and nostalgia for these past three years of traveling, photographing, teaching, and meeting incredible souls in the Netherlands.
This country has given us so much joy: quiet walks by the sea with dunes and trails, our favorite coffee in Haarlem, golden autumn days in Amsterdam, and evenings on the beach with friends, pizza, and laughter.
It’s hard to put into words what it means to leave behind an entire chapter of life. In such a short time, this place became home 🏡
Here are a few places I want to share with you, in case you come to Haarlem or the Netherlands by the sea
- .haarlem the best coffee in Haarlem and people ☕️
- The best breakfasts, croissants, a warm courtyard, a dog, and just a really nice place 🤍
- The best place for a photo shoot in the dunes and desert, a walk by the sea, and sitting by the fireplace 📸🤍
- Very tasty food, beautiful design and sea view, and it’s just very pleasant to sit there🧡
- a place where guys can always get a nice haircut
- delicious coffee in Amsterdam and very simple clothing options for the shoot☕️
- and of course, my favorite guitar shop in the world. It’s one of the most wonderful places to see all the dream guitars you can imagine. Drink coffee and feel at home with such kind people there🧡
We are moving to Portugal and starting from November I will be able to photograph and conduct workshops there. These are our last three weeks here in the Netherlands and Düsseldorf.
So, this winter, in 2026, and in the future, come visit us in Lisbon and Sintra, and by the ocean 🌊
With love,
The Maley💌☕️📸
