Planning a trip to Amsterdam? Don't just see the city. Own it.
The Amsterdam Advantage is the strategic playbook for smart women who are tired of leaving their love lives to chance.

Does this sound familiar?
You're a badass in your career, but your dating life feels like a game with no rules.
You're tired of endless swiping and dead-end conversations that go nowhere.
You love to travel, but feel a pang of loneliness when you see couples enjoying a new city.

Now, you're done waiting for luck. You're ready for a strategy...


It's Not You. It's Your Playbook
For years, I saw smart, successful women making the same mistakes because they were given the wrong advice. So I threw out the old rules. I used Amsterdam as my laboratory and built a new, field-tested system from the ground up. The Amsterdam Advantage isn't just a book; it's a new way to play the game.

As a founder, my time is my most valuable asset. I approached dating with the same hope-and-pray method I'd never use in my business. Ivy's advice were a complete mindset shift. It's not just a guide; it's a data-driven system that stopped me from wasting hours on dead-end connections. The advantage gave me the ROI I was looking for in my love life. A total game-changer.

After my divorce, I thought I'd forgotten how to date, especially as a successful woman. Ivy's method didn't just give me tactics; it gave me permission to be unapologetically myself. I became the hunter, not the hunted any more. This mindset was a revelation. I started dating with a sense of confidence and control I hadn't felt in years. This was is about so much more than visiting Amsterdam.

Living in Amsterdam, I thought I knew my city. Ivy's view showed me a version I'd never seen before—a strategic playground. She absolutely nails the nuances of Dutch dating culture, but what's brilliant is how she turns our local spots into tools for connection. I've started using her venue selection framework and the quality of my dates has skyrocketed. She's given me an advantage in my own hometown.
As a romantic, I was skeptical of the word 'strategy.' I thought it would kill the magic. Ivy proved me wrong. Her approach isn't about being cold; it's about creating the perfect conditions for magic to happen. It's the difference between hoping for a beautiful story and becoming the architect of one. A truly intelligent and sophisticated guide.

Meet Ivy van Houten
I'm a a traveler-turned-tactician who believes our love lives deserve the same intelligence we apply to our careers. With an American heart and a Dutch passport, I built a career creating bespoke luxury experiences in Amsterdam. But my real education came from the fitting rooms of designer boutiques, where I became a trusted sounding board to a global network of ambitious, curious, stylish souls. I realized we didn't need more generic advice; we needed a strategic edge. My work is the result of that pivot: no-fluff, actionable playbooks built on data, not dreams, for women who believe a bad date is a terrible waste of a good travel day.✨
