Where pairs meet in Amsterdam
A walk through the Vondelpark, a run in the Amsterdamse Bos, or coffee along the Amstel. Easy to reach by bike from almost anywhere in the city.
What people in Amsterdam are working on
Training for the Amsterdam Marathon in October, launching a side project or start-up, learning Dutch as a newcomer, or building a social life in a city full of internationals.
Why a buddy nearby makes all the difference
Messages are easy to ignore. A walk you agreed on isn’t. With someone in Amsterdam, you can train together, work side by side in the same café or meet for a coffee every other week. And plenty of pairs end up as real friends.

You both say yes
If you both like the sound of it, we swap your email addresses and suggest a first meeting. Then you make your own pact: how often, how, and how hard. Goals only, no dating.
Questions about Pactful in Amsterdam
Is Pactful available in Amsterdam?
Yes. Amsterdam is one of the first cities where we pair people, so your buddy can be someone nearby you meet in person. We’re just getting started and every pairing is made by hand, so it can take a few weeks. Online pairing works too.
Do we have to meet in person?
No. You choose in the form: in person, online or a bit of both. Many pairs start with a walk or a coffee and then mix in calls.
How do you choose my buddy?
By hand. Our founder reads your answers, looks at your goal, rhythm, languages and where in Amsterdam you are, then chooses your buddy.
Does it cost anything?
Our first 1000 members join for free. After that, membership costs €10 a year.
