Gijón / Cafe

Vegan-friendly cafe

Very warm hospitality in a great location and the best part - you don't have to be a guest to come and work in the peaceful lobby of the hotel. I go there to work when I want some peace and quite.

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.

Beijing / Restaurant

Established by Melbourne-born restaurateur, Michelle Garnaut, Capital M is one of my favourites, especially for afternoon tea. During pollution-free springs (when we have them) and summer (when the heat is not too suffocating), the view of Qianmen from the terrace is breathtaking, whilst cooler months see the use of the indoor fireplaces, which create a cosy, intimate environment. They also hold some great events here and the decor is trippy.

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.

Barcelona / Shop

Showroom full of antiques and vintage furniture store in Poblenou.

Zürich / Cinema

One of my favorite movie theatres. Upon entering the doorsteps, the enchantment begins. And the cinema’s outside lettering is simply legendary.

Ghent / Art

The Herbert Foundation is a private collection for contemporary art with a focus on conceptual art from the collection of Annick and Anton Herbert. It houses works by an impressive list of artists such as Marcel Broodthaers, Bruce Nauman, Dan Graham, Mike Kelley, Franz West, Thomas Schütte en Martin Kippenberger.

Copenhagen / Botanical Garden

Placed in the city center. A place to stroll around in, watch tourists, plants, trees, birds and garden workers.

London / Area

A great walk down an old abandoned rail way from Finsbury Park to Highgate. Most of the original platforms are sill remaining so its an interesting place to explore...

New York / Food Store

I buy gigantic dry-aged steaks and 1.5-inch pork chops here. The staff is really friendly and helpful.

Paris / Pub

Best cocktails in town
