Hi! I’m Ana V. Martins and I am a cross-channel storyteller. I work with words, images and video in a variety of digital platforms. I love it when I get to awaken people’s lust for life, when I witness others getting inspired, experimental, and hopeful. Especially those who crave a more creative and connected life. Those who want a change. Those who want to *heal.* Those with a background of migration like myself. That’s why I write, that’s why I make video, that’s why I organize get-together(s).
I wrote articles and essays on Amsterdive for almost ten years, a blog on life revelations and the wonders of Amsterdam culture. Now I’m focusing on the newsletter - Ana Searches For Meaning - which is my most personal venue of work centering around personal tales of self-development. My YouTube channel covers creative living and adventurous travels. I’m currently writing a book about the bold, quirky Amsterdam I love.
I support myself from my writing work and from my creativity + movement classes, hence this page. At once a donation jar and a mad hatter’s hat, this is where you can leave a gift to help support the content I put out, but you can also pull out a creativity workshop from here, or a ticket to a live event, or god knows what else.
Thank you for stopping by! ✨
