Isabel van Zuilen (Izzy) is an expat from Amsterdam, living in San Francisco, California, with her lovely husband, awesome daughter, two cats and a brand new puppy.
She started her sober journey in May 2019, when she dived into the world of alcohol-free drinks. Trying every non-alcoholic bubbly there was, and flying around the world to attend fun alcohol-free events! In 2021 Izzy started organising alcohol-free retreats for women that don’t need alcohol to have fun, and since February 2024 she’s organizing local walks and cold dips in San Francisco.
