What you need to know before your trail

Twenty-three-year-old American ex-pat Skye Sullivan is influence manager for Amsterdam’s hottest startup. CoHab is earmarked as the Next Big Thing. Everyone wants to work there.

Skye longs to impress her formidable mentor, Yelena, and the company’s charismatic British founder, Silas. Soon, Skye has a front-view of the booze-fuelled parties and sexual encounters behind barely closed doors. Those at the top are likely to be chugging drunks as running the company.

But when Skye is expected to cover up potential scandals, including at least one suspicious death, she realises something dark and awful lies at the heart of CoHab. Behind the slick branding and attractive workforce is a sickening secret, and Skye must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to feel like she finally belongs somewhere.

Travel Guide

Amsterdam

Author says:

Boat parties are pretty standard for corporate events in Amsterdam – there really is nothing more glorious than sailing down the Amstel River on a sunny afternoon, passing around drinks and snacks, eagerly adding songs to a Spotify playlist. Of course, there’s always a risk that the weather won’t cooperate – which is why either a covered boat or a diehard attitude is required. We often rented party boats from Flagship Amsterdam, which also offers public boat tours.

At first glance, biking in Amsterdam might seem chaotic and even downright perilous. Bikers are notorious for ignoring traffic rules and showing little-to-no courtesy towards pedestrians. How bikes manage to weave through car and tram traffic often seems like it requires access to a mystifying secret choreography. But honestly– there’s no better way to discover the city.
