It started as advice for friends visiting Amsterdam

Karen Turner is a New Yorker who moved to Amsterdam, then Paris, then The Hague, and wrote the Moon guidebook to Amsterdam, Brussels and Bruges along the way. Wanderlustingk is now written by a small team who travel the same way she does: independently, with a lot of research first.
