Amsterdam Tourist Team
Ryan Cooper, Editor – Contact Ryan
Ryan Cooper is a writer from Detroit who decided to trade in his car for a bicycle, his little bungalow for a fourth-story walk-up, and his life in the Motor City for an existence in Amsterdam. Along the way, he quit his job, sold his belongings and, with a pregnant wife in tow, decided to see if the American dream wasn’t to be had somewhere overseas. His musings on music appear at punkmusic.about.com, and he has contributed to both fiction (Read By Dawn Volume III) and nonfiction (Punk Rock Save My Ass) anthologies. From Ryan: The scariest part of this move was the uncertainty – leaving my friends, family, financial security and the life and system I know for something utterly foreign. Doing it a time that was utterly unideal (with a baby on the way) makes it even more so. This really has served as a catalyst for my creativity and a stronger desire to explore a brand new city, attempt to grasp a brand new language, and to find a way to make Amsterdam a place I can call home.
