With a population of over 7 million, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated cities, so it's no wonder it's filled to the brim with high rise flats. Architecturally, these are not the most sophisticated, but I chose this photo for the washed out pastel colours. I'm also drawn to the rows and rows of air conditioning units on the exteriors of the building.

Coria / Park

The biggest skate park in the region

Ancona / Beach

Numana is a central Adriatic seaside place overlooking the sea and it is surrounded by green woods of the Conero Park, another great place to descovery the nature, for listening to trees and mountains sound. The place mix in an atmosphere of suspense powdery colours, and antique tones. Numana is the ideal place for summer holidays, starting from the widest beaches up to the coves surrounded by nature. I invite to discover this magnificent glimpse of the Adriatic Sea among the enchanting beaches of the Conero Riviera.

Paris / Market

Great place, great food.

Amsterdam / Bar

Eclectic brewery for IPA's, music and art.

London / School

Having spent many years studying there, I have a soft spot for Central Saint Martins, which finally closed in September 2011 when the college relocated to Kings Cross. Despite being such a dive, the old building had such history and character and I grew very fond of its tatty charms. As plans for its take over by Foyles bookshop go ahead, I look forward to having a coffee in the new building's cafe when it re-opens.

Vilnius / Museum

The house-museum of the artist and collector Kazys Varnelis (1917–2010) is reminiscent of a residential house. Its small rooms rich in details of early Gothic architecture contain the exhibits of historical prints, maps and Western European sculptures, supplemented by sets of Renaissance and Baroque furniture and abstract paintings by Varnelis. Harmony based on contrast makes the entire exhibition extraordinary. Accumulated for fifty years and given to Lithuania, Kazys Varnelis’s collection is a significant contribution to the collections of cultural treasures of Lithuania.

London / Library

The V and A houses a public collection of prints and drawings of every kind imagineable from old master drawings to photographs, playing cards, fashion plates and wallpapers. You have to select what you want to see from the collection http://collections.vam.ac.uk/and book in advance. The behind-the-scenes route up to the study room of v and a is a treat alone (pictured)

Montreal / Cafe

Where I write my films.

London / Park

South London is largely underrated considering at times it's a treasure chest of gems; Battersea Park is one of those big sparkly ones. An interesting mix of faultlessly pruned gardens, displaced architecture, shape, form and colour generate a delightfully influential weekend stroll. With views of the almighty Battersea Power Station and the river dividing you from the Chelsea Embankment.

Auckland / Beach

Favourite beach in summer. There's a long stretch of white sand with a camping site close to the water.

New York / Park

At first, this park felt too arranged and perfect for me but somehow it became my safe place. Going here always picks me up. The piers have a breathtaking view of the downtown Manhattan skyline, The Statue of Liberty, and The Brooklyn Bridge. Undeniably magical. The piers host picnic spots, soccer fields, roller skating, basketball, outdoor gyms, tennis walls, grills for barbeque, and more. I also appreciate how they designed the plantations with so much care and it’s just a lovely space overall for anyone to enjoy.
