I’m terrified of heights—like, heart-pounding, knees-shaking kind of fear. So when my husband suggested we try the rooftop swing at A’DAM Lookout in Amsterdam, my answer was a firm and repeated no. For two weeks, he kept nudging me, and for two weeks, I stood my ground.
But something changed once we got there. Standing at the top, looking out over the city, I felt this sudden rush—what if I actually did it? I couldn’t let fear win. So I strapped in, took a deep breath… and swung out over the edge.
It was absolutely thrilling. Pure joy I would say.
Floating above Amsterdam, with the wind in my hair and my heart racing, I felt so alive.
Nothing can stop me from adventure and excitement.
If you’re headed to Amsterdam, don’t miss the A’DAM Lookout.
Swing into the sky—you won’t regret it!
