Best brunch I've had in Amsterdam :) Love their bloody mary, and negroni. Also great for dinner! It's owned and run by Australians so it's super laid back and beautifully designed.

New York / Community Centre

For a lovely Weekend to Connecticut - Grace Farms is a non-profit center in New Canaan, Connecticut that is dedicated to advancing faith, nature, arts, community and justice initiatives.

London / Shop

They mainly sell art and cultural theory books but they also have a good selection of small press and self-published zines. It’s a great place to browse and get ideas.

New York / Restaurant

My favorite Japanese restaurant in NY...Small and cozy place, the staff is great, the food always simple and delicious, the uni shots are addictive and the sake perfect.

London / Shop

Looking for books on Sound Art, Photography, Art or Cultural Theory? Then Conor Donlon's bookshop is the place to go. Supplying printed matter for a variety of tastes this delightful shop has a lot to offer. Ranging from fanzines and fashion magazines to books on underground culture, artists writings and sheer bizarre booklets on uncommon sexual practices, this engaging shop has something for everyone. Conor also deals in rare and out of print books and John Waters is a frequent customer. If you come soon you might just be in time to pick up one of John Waters signed copies of: 'Role Models'.

Vancouver / Cafe

This quaint, cottage-cozy cafe is the perfect place to go with your bestie for a cup of coffee and tasty treats. I highly recommend their fresh baguette sandwiches-the pear one (with blue brie, prosciutto & roasted walnuts) is my favourite!

Paris / Art

A gallery I like to visit when I am in Paris, amazing space, great selection of artists and a welcoming team. And also a really gorgeous staircase.

Paris / Restaurant

Great Vietnamese labyrinthine restaurant, with huge, filling plates for under €10. My girlfriend has been eating here since she was in the womb.

Marrakesh / Market

Beautiful chaos. I recommend a "tour guide" your first time here as it is very easy to get lost in these tiny streets and alley ways. In 1147, the Berber Almohades conquered the city, destroying most of the buildings and rebuilding its' medina. A bustling market with different sections including tile, metal, art, scarves, jewelry, rugs, antiques, teas, oils, etc. Be careful to decipher what "shops" are authentically Berber, and which are actually just items made in china. A tour guide will also help teach you what to look out for...

Aix-en-Provence / Natural Area

The symbol of Aix-en-Provence, the major landmark of the area and Cézanne’s muse, Sainte-Victoire Mountain reaches an altitude of 1011 m. The mountain is celebrated for its many appearances in a series of paintings by Paul Cézanne. Sainte-Victoire Mountain has been recognised as a Grand Site de France since 2004 and is a French jewel of natural heritage which must be preserved. Covering 35,000 hectares near Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, the Concors and Sainte-Victoire massifs form the largest single wooded area in the department of Bouches du Rhône, and residents, walkers, hunters and those who love sport, nature and heritage all happily co-exist there.

London / Bakery

Bread shop, bakery, school & cafe

Newcastle / Museum

The Baltic is the north east’s equivalent to the Tate Modern. A grandiose 4 storey white cube gallery in an old flour mill. They are currently exhibiting the Turner Prize which has meant queuing like they’ve never seen it before up here on the opening night. It is also one of the main reasons why this at times struggling city seems to have a more positive future. Proof that the arts does help make life and the economy better.
