Cindy, Your Sunny De Pijp Escort

"Top floor? Perfect, the view will be worth it." That is Cindy all over: cheerful, a little sporty even in heels, and always curious about whatever the lift doors open onto next. Home for this 26-year-old is De Pijp, a few streets from the Albert Cuyp market, and she carries a sunny poolside charm into even the greyest Amsterdam evening. She greets the doorman as if they have known each other for years.

Cindy is 168 cm and slim, with long, wavy blonde hair and clear blue eyes. The easygoing side of her is real. Delayed flights, changed dinner plans, a room that is not quite ready: she shrugs, smiles and proposes a drink in the lounge while reception sorts it out. Guests arriving worn out from a conference usually feel their shoulders drop within the first few floors. Nothing about her feels rehearsed; she simply enjoys people, and it shows.

Her mornings often begin on a yoga mat, which may explain the calm. Photography is her creative outlet, and she tends to spot the best light in a hotel corridor before anyone else does. Ask to see a few favourite shots and she will happily scroll to a sunrise over the Amstel, a heron perched on a houseboat roof and a friend mid-laugh at the bow of a boat. Sailing, though, is the love she talks about most, weekends on the IJsselmeer with the wind doing all the work. If boats are your subject too, Michelle is another companion who brightens at the mention of a mast.

Conversation with Cindy runs in English and rarely runs dry. Picture her on a terrace lunch that stretches into evening, at a rooftop bar as the sun goes down, or at a laid-back dinner where laughter matters more than the wine list. Her company starts from €180 per hour, and one message is enough to call the lift.
