Hi, I'm Tetiana.

I'm originally from Ukraine and moved to the Netherlands in 2024.

Like many newcomers, I was fascinated by Dutch cities. But I quickly realized that behind the canals, historic buildings and beautiful streets there were much bigger stories waiting to be discovered.

The more I learned about Dutch history, culture and society, the more I wanted to understand how this small country became so influential.

That journey inspired me to create Dutch Story Walks.

My walks are designed for curious people who want more than sightseeing. Together we explore the people, ideas and events that shaped Dutch cities and still influence them today.

I keep my groups small and focus on storytelling, discussion and meaningful experiences rather than memorizing dates or rushing between landmarks.

Whether you are visiting the Netherlands for the first time or have lived here for years, my goal is simple:

to help you understand the Netherlands, not just visit it.
