Tarrawarra is a day trip from the city that everyone must make at least once. A private collection of Australian art made public in an incredible piece of contemporary architecture. Situated on the most bucolic and picturesque piece of countryside you can imagine. Now has a new restaurant and cellar door, so you can buy a bottle of wine and sit overlooking the lake. It's pretty perfect.

London / Park

The thing I love most about London is the juxtaposition of urban and rural, and nowhere is this better illustrated than in Lea Valley Park. A genuine wilderness where I’ve seen everything from ponies, to a rogue Costco outlet, and all less than 20 minutes from my front door.

Antwerp / Shop

the best shop for design objects, furniture and jewelry!

New York / Restaurant

Delicious soft scrambled egg, cracked pepper and speck for breakfast or lunch :-)

Rio de Janeiro / Architecture

Niterói is located just in front of Rio de Janeiro, on the other side of Guanabara bay. The city hosts most of Niemeyer's architectural masterpieces. Among them, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Niterói, which curves are typical of the architect's work. Apart from visiting the contemporary art exhibitions and admiring the architecture of the place, you can also enjoy a breathtaking view over Rio de Janeiro.

Montreal / Cafe

Where I write my films.

Berlin / Art

Peres Projects mostly showcases young, emerging artists and is at the forefront of fusing art with fashion, celebrity and the love of a good party, which seems to work very well in Berlin. Having recently moved into an ex-Soviet building on Karl Marx Allee, the giant new space contrasts brilliantly with the commanding facade.

New York / Bookstore

One of the best curated visual art books in New York and the World, with a bent towards a crossover of music/art/psychedelics. A place to feed the art habit, remembering that the greatest images are still locked in books and not online.

London / Cafe

I couldn't decide which coffee shop to feature so here's the first, Store Street Espresso. It's right round the corner from work and a great place to chill out at lunch time and get that kick for the afternoon. Compared with the other independent coffee shops in the area (Wild & Wood/Lantana/Tapped & Packed) the interior's minimal and light which is great. Anyway coffee's really good and so is the food.

New York / Food Store

Buy your fresh pasta here. Cook it that night.

New York / Place

Unlike a lot of neighborhoods the sidewalks in this area are often still paved in the original slate slabs. You can see “extra” pieces sometimes chained up outside like this…. Why pour concrete?

London / Cafe

Nice place for a cake and coffee.
