Porto / Cafe

I spent a lot of time at combi coffee while living in Porto. The owners are amazing, the cappuccino with oat milk is to die for and the atmosphere is the best.

Hong Kong / Shop

If you are looking for something special to treat yourself or make a memorable gift, this curated shop is for you. Carefully selected ceramics, money well spent indeed.

Toronto / River

Perfect relaxing place at the west end of the city. Getting of Old Mills Subway Station, you can discover a perfect spot to escape from the city and have a picnic or bike along the river north or south up to Ontario Lake, nice panoramic to the river marshes and the ruins of an old mill.

London / Bar

Appreciate the 'bar hidden away behind a bookcase' thing is pretty naff but the cocktails here are unreal (try the Hot and Cold), and it's inside Milroy's Soho, one of the most legendary spirits stores in the city

London / Shop

A green oasis in Hackney, offering affordable, beautiful plants. A jungle full of inspiration. (Pic from meltingbutter.com)

Providence / Restaurant

Oberlin is one of the best examples of Providence's fantastic dining scene—expect a wide range of excellent lesser-known, sustainably caught local fish like tautog, butterfish and bluefish, as well as a wide range of other regionally-inspired dishes like fresh pasta, homemade sourdough, and roasted local veg. The place has a real neighborhood vibe that makes you want to stay for hours, which is definitely helped by the exceptional wine list and desserts (specifically: the Basque cheesecake).

Taipei / Cafe

My favorite cafe in Taipei. For friends gathering, gossiping, discussing, it is more about just having a lunch. The meals are wonderful. I cannot remember how many times I sat here.

Newcastle / Beach

Tynemouth is 20 minutes from the city on the metro. It also has a great antique and farmer’s market at the weekend in the metro station. But the main draw of Tynemouth is the first of a beautiful stretch of sandy beaches which are never crowded. It reminds me of Australia. All the dogs look so shiny eyed and happy. How did they keep this place such a secret?

London / Park

My favourite park in town. They have a small Japanese garden and areas marked off for joggers. Well organised space.

Auckland / Attraction

A Gannet Colony situated on the edge of cliffs right next to Muriwai Beach. If you're lucky you'll see a few Seals. It's a short drive out of Auckland but it's worth it to get away from the City.

New York / Music Venue

Brooklyn's only black-owned Jazz Club and musician-run nonprofit supporting the arts and community since 1981.

I have been studying graphic design and digital strategy, as well as communication and leadership during my learning journey.
