Favourite walk at night, especially in the summer. Quite dramatic, very romantic.

London / Bar

One of the few remaining bastions of alternative Soho, The Crobar is a metal bar which attracts a friendly crowd and serves a top selection of beer and whisky

Holbox / Beach

Isla Holbox in Quintana Roo, Mexico, is the paradise itself. I've never seen anything like it. Nothing. Probably the best beach in the world.

New York / Cafe

I am definitely a creature of habit, some good, some bad, and some worse. This is one of my better ones. Pretty much stop here every day on my way to the studio for caffeine. They brew up stumptown and always see someone I know from the neighborhood. When I get to the front of the line there is already a large coffee ready for me.

New York / Place

Mcgolrick Park at midnight in the snow. Any early morning with all the bums and drunks passed out on Nassau Avenue. NYC still looks best between 3am and 6am, just before the light comes in to shine on all its flaws.

Amsterdam / Nature

To get out of the hustle of the city, my husband and I love to bike down to Amsterdam's Forest to see the goat farm, or picnic in the sun. There are also little spots to swim :)

Moscow / Restaurant

Great place with absolutely delicious food, great service and friendly staff

Guayaquil / Restaurant

One of the best ceviche spots in Guayaquil, really good prices, great ambiance. The decor is very representative of Guayaquil's identity, with the configuration of a Spanish tapas bar. Fresh ingredients and amazing flavors! It is open daily from 7 am till 10 pm so it's an amazing spot for a sea food breakfast and Sunday brunches, though expect a long line on busy days, it moves fast though.

Berlin / Cinema

This cinema is nothing special if you're looking for that comercial combo big screens + major sound system, but it has its own sidewalk charm and decadent glam. Also it makes a good option for a date. You have plenty to choose for dinner and drinks all around Kottbusser Tor.

Wiesbaden / Swimming Pool

Surrounded by hillside vineyards and an expansive forest, the Opelbad is one of Wiesbaden's loveliest leisure facilities. Privy Councilor Dr. Wilhelm von Opel funded the construction of this magnificent summer pool on Wiesbaden's own hill, Neroberg, in 1934. This historical swimming pool designed in the clear Bauhaus style offers pleasant water temperatures of at least 24 degrees Celsius, while modern solar technology keeps the water at a constant temperature. Address Opelbad Wiesbaden | Nerobergstraße 2, 65193 | Wiesbaden

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.

Salento / Food Store

Be berated by old women, discuss the translation of 'Take That' and be told the only way to cook vegetables properly.
