Paris / Restaurant

One of my favorite resturant in Paris. Order some cheese and a glas of nature wine.

Jaipur / Hotel

An Oasis! After a 2h drive leaving the chaotic streets and markets of Jaipur the luxurious hotel Aman Bagh feels like an Oasis in the middle of Rajasthan’s countryside. What I treasure the most is the silence and peacefulness of this place. Enjoying tea in their amazing silver tea set is true luxury to me.

Ao Nang / Nature

The forest overlooking the bay of Ao Nang has to make room for new constructions. We should invest ourselves more for a sustainable development.

Milan / Shop

Vintage interiors store selling mid-century and post-modern homeware.

Lisbon

A contemporary bookshop with carefully curated independent magazines, books & artworks.

Vienna / Place

There is one thing finally that is good about vienna’s small size, to reach the river danube and its two side arms in summer, when its boiling hot, takes only few minutes. All the life is transferred from the center to the river banks, swim and barbecue in summer, ice skating in winter. If you exit the subway at Neue Donau station you will see the small tower of viennas biggest mosque that is located on the danube island. You can go there and visit, if you are lucky, you will be offered dryed figues and dates and you can watch the prayers repose themselves lying on mattrasses in the cool.

Oslo / Shop

Fuglen is a cafe, cocktail bar and second hand design shop specialising in quirky and sometimes forgotten treasures, predominantly from the 50’s and 60’s. Fuglen first opened it´s doors in 1963, and having a cup of coffee here is like stepping back in time, Scandinavian style.

New York / Restaurant

I'm a huge Japanophile: if there's one other place I'd like to live, it's Tokyo. I must have been there seven or eight times, most recently just after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. Anyway, EN is a gem on Hudson Street, serving real Japanese cuisine. It turns out that EN is a chain in Japan; there are a lot of branches making lovely bosky food in cosy neighbourhood locations. But their New York incarnation is grand in scale and ambition, with solid, warm interiors (not unlike if the Whitney were a Japanese restaurant, oddly) - a remarkable hybrid of this city, and the other one that I'd love to live in.

Valencia / Botanical Garden

A welcome retreat from the bustle of the city. I really enjoyed spending the afternoon walking around the botanical gardens, taking pictures. It's home to thousands of species of plants and nearly as many cats.

Stockholm / Bar

A friendly and relaxed atmosphere with a great kitchen. Lovely music and every now and then surprise live acts as Dungen. A big terrace with the park next door and the new ice cream bar makes it perfect for daytime as well.

Kivik / Restaurant

If you are looking for a reason to visit Kivik, Ulla & Folke are that reason. Their food is great. Their natural wine is great. Their traditionally Swedish interior is great. Their hospitality is great and their logo is strangely Copenhagen hip, in the middle of the South Sweden countryside. I'm sorry I have no better picture, but do check their Instagram account. It is lovely.
