About this Event
🩋🌿 Walk, Connect & Dance: Museum, Mixer & Dagvlinder Festival

A full‑day social adventure for open‑hearted travelers & locals.


⭐ About Your Host

Hi! I’m Aleksandra, an expat living in Rotterdam who loves creating warm, meaningful experiences where strangers become a small, supportive crew for the day. Expect openness, good vibes, and a smooth journey from culture → connection → dancing.


📍 Where We Meet

We start at Museum Boijmans (Depot Boijmans van Beuningen), an iconic Rotterdam landmark with plenty to explore visually and emotionally.
I’ll be waiting at the main entrance.


🌿 What We’ll Do
1. Explore Museum Boijmans — up to 2 hours

We begin our day with inspiration.
For up to two hours, we’ll wander through the museum’s unique spaces, share impressions, and ease into conversations. This relaxed start sets the tone for the rest of the day: curious, thoughtful, and open.


2. Walk Through Het Park

After the museum, we take a gentle walk through Het Park, one of Rotterdam’s prettiest green spaces.
This transition outdoors helps everyone unwind, breathe, and get comfortable with the group before the social mixer. Expect light conversation and a calming reset before the social energy picks up.


3. Fast‑Friending Mixer at Dudok CafĂ©

We’ll settle into Dudok CafĂ©, a beloved Rotterdam spot, for a warm, guided slow‑friending session.

You can expect:

  • fun, yet meaningful conversation prompts
  • rotating small‑group or pair chats
  • an easy, structured way to get to know new people

This part of the experience builds the perfect group feeling before dancing together.


4. Dance Together at Dagvlinder Festival

With a bonded group and great energy, we head to Dagvlinder Festival for the final chapter of the day.
Here, you can:

  • dance freely
  • enjoy the house music
  • stay connected with the group
  • or branch out and return whenever you like

I’ll help guide the transition so that everyone feels included and safe upon arrival.


đŸ‘„ Who This Experience Is For
  • Solo travelers wanting social connection
  • Expats settling into Rotterdam
  • Locals seeking a new social circle
  • Art lovers + nature lovers + dance lovers
  • Anyone who loves a meaningful day that ends in joy and movement

⏰ Duration

Up to 10 hours, depending on the group’s pace and how long we stay at the festival.


🎒 What to Bring
  • Comfortable shoes
  • Water bottle
  • Festival ticket (not included)
  • Weather‑appropriate clothing
  • Openness, curiosity, good energy and SMILE :)

💛 Why Join?

This day blends art, nature, social connection, and dancing — a rare mix that turns strangers into friends and creates memories you’ll carry long after the music ends.

Come for the museum.
Stay for the people.
End with dancing together.
