Amsterdam / Place

Just a fantastic spot on the edge of the city. Its connection of the Amsterdam-Rijn Canal to the IJ, Amsterdam’s big open water, that was once part of the North Sea, but now dammed in by the Dutch. Sometimes it’s just a relief to leave the prettiness and the cuteness of the Amsterdam canals behind and experience some space. Few people come out here and in summertime it’s just a delightful spot to have a picnic and watch the boats come in.

London / Bar

If you like cocktails and pink neon lights, Tonight’s Josephine is definetly a perfect spot to spend your night!

London / Place

A residential estate that once housed 40,000 people which has now become an abandoned ghost town. Minutes away from Elephant & Castle, is an unexpected dystopian treat.

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.

Leeds / Creative Space

Full circle is a hidden gem which is just 5 minutes from the Leeds City Centre. This eccentric space is an open plan two floor studio, where you can go enjoy a good food, look at art, purchase clothes, watch films and also where you can go for a cracking night out. Make sure you look out for Mono_Cult events which are hosted there, as they are certainly some of the best nights out I have had in Leeds.

Brussels / Restaurant

Great industrial place with a great natural wine selection and fine dishes to share.

Chicago / Dance Company

The Joffrey is a world-class, Chicago-based ballet company and dance education organization committed to artistic excellence and innovation, presenting a unique repertoire encompassing masterpieces of the past and cutting-edge works. The Joffrey is committed to providing arts education and accessible dance training through its Joffrey Academy of Dance and Community Engagement programs.

Amsterdam / Bookstore

My favourite and neighbourhood bookstore. With a good selection of books and a balanced selection of magazines. If possible I buy my books here. I want to support small business.

Seattle / Gallery

Current representing gallery.

Paris / Restaurant

Amazing Afro-Caribbean classics food.

Hong Kong / Shop

Shopping may not be the main agenda of coming to Hong Kong, so when I see a boutique with an unusual selection of independent designers (pretty rare by Hong Kong retail standards), it's probably something to write home about. Located in the fashion hub that is Causeway Bay, Liger is the fashion child of style icon Hilary Tsui and stylist Dorothy Hui. Stocking an edited curation of established avant garde labels like Rue de Mail, Karen Walker and Richard Nicoll to emerging talent like Fannie Schiavoni, Swash and Bitching and Junkfood. It's a mix of edgy directional with classic wearable pieces thats makes Liger a Hong-Kong-go-to-destination, so much so that it is opening a 2nd stand alone store at the aforementioned Woodhouse mall.

London / Cafe

Great little neighbourhood hangout. Delicious food, good coffee and open evenings Thursday-Saturday. Next to the Sylvanian Family shop!
