Tuzla / Restaurant

A place I feel like to eat and talk nonsense. I love these guys and their food.

Glasgow / Art

A creative studio space run by Scottish designer & maker Catherine Johnston. There are multiple studio spaces occupied by crafters and designers, with usually some kind of exhibition or event on.

Avalon / Island

Avalon is a tourist attraction that forever captures my heart. The best musical album to imagine its landscape to is quite literal—"Avalon" by John Tesh.

Beijing / Place

A hutong is a type of narrow street or alley most commonly associated with Beijing. Since the mid-20th century, the number of Beijing hutongs has dramatically decreased as they are facing demolition to make way for new roads and buildings. More recently, some hutongs have been designated as protected areas in an attempt to preserve this aspect of Chinese cultural history. I love walking around the hutongs when I need a break from the office (my current office is located in a particularly interesting hutong neighbourhood); they are a great exemplar of ancient urban planning and architecture, and breathe "the old way of life".

Paris / Bookstore

One of my favourite bookstore in Paris ful of graphic design and illustrations books.

Austin / Cafe

Wheather starting or ending your day, this near East coffee shop / taproom has some of the best of whatever you're after. One of the first establishments to brave a then-emerging neighborhood, it's now surrounded by walkable shops and restaurants. A great porch for chilling and a pretty good spot to plug in a laptop and get some work done.

Berlin / Museum

The Hamburger Bahnhof – 'Museum für Gegenwart' which was originally a train station is a terrific museum featuring a selection of contemporary art.

New York / Bar

I love this quaint lil bar, as it's a good switch of energy from the bar next door. Mostly quiet, cozy and with a working fireplace, I like it here.

Melbourne / Cafe

The Vodka Bar is a surprising spot for a good coffee during the day. But when the sun goes down, it transforms into a place where pierogi and absinthe are plentiful.

Paris / Shop

New shop in Paris opened by the Pain o Chokolat Crew (street hip hop crew). The Pigalle shop stocks exclusive street culture brands from across the globe. You’ll always meet a bunch of international people when visiting the shop. The Pigalle shop has the hype of street culture but the underlying feelings of a classic shop and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

Barcelona / Restaurant

Patxi Zumárraga, Nino Redruello and Jaime Santianes are the chefs in charge of the kitchen, three former Bulli who have combined their gastronomic knowledge to propose a market cuisine where respect for the product prevails.

Paris / Bakery

THE boulangerie you have to go! A good option for a quick lunch (delicious sandwiches and best black baguette eve).
