Berlin / Shop

Besides being the friendliest shoemaker in town, he also offers quality for good value.

Copenhagen / Place

Assistens Cemetery is one of the only cemeteries in the center of Copenhagen and beside from being a beautiful calm place to hang out, sunbathing and having a picnic, it is the final resting place for many great people through times. H.C Andersen, Søren Kirkegaard, Niels Bohr, Henry Heerup is just a few of them.

Los Angeles / Shop

Small book store with really hard to find photography and art books. Love their collection of stuff as well as presentation.

New York / Other

Words cannot describe how much I love biking in the city.

Florence / Museum

La Specola is one of my favourite museums I have ever visited. The museum is a branch of the Natural History Museum of the University of Florence and is one of the oldest science museums in Europe, built in 1775 with the aim of gathering the natural treasures collected by different generations of the Medici family, such as fossils, animals, minerals and exotic plants. You really have to go. The displays are stunning and odd, also the Zoological Collection is full of specimens and old taxidermy pieces. On top of that there is also a quite "scary" collection of about 1,400 pieces of anatomical waxworks (made between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century).

Jaipur / Shop

The workshops at the Gem Palace are a true fascination to me. Here you can witness the processes from rough stones being delivered to the final steps of cutting, faceting and polishing as well as setting and making. But what I admire truly is the shapes they can create sometimes losing up to 70% of a stone to create a dome for a pair of earrings.

Los Angeles / Place

I consistently spend a lot of time here. It's the most relaxing place in the city.

Burlington / Shop

I'm here every week to check out the latest ephemera, hard cover books and vinyl. They often have concerts in the back of the building. It's always a party in here.

Milan / Gallery

Nilufar Depot: three storeys of historic and contemporary design, selected by Nina Yashar, one of Milan’s top design dealers.

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.

Hamburg / Botanical Garden

Planten un Blomen, it's a beautiful botanical garden in Hamburg, Mitte. Lot of spots where to sit and watching quietly the nature as well as a lot of path to walk. The Japanese garden is a place must to see as well as the Glass House of the tropical pants.

San Luis Obispo / Art

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to wake up in Wonderland, staying at the Madonna Inn is it. It is a feast for your eyes, with a unique blend of retro and whimsical delights. Built in the 1950’s in San Luis Obispo, Madonna Inn is famous for their unique rooms, with all different themes and colors. Depending on the season, the specialty rooms can be pretty booked up from tourists and photo shoots. Luckily the room I wanted to stay in was available, so I had to make the most of it. I shot a little story in the Carin Suite, a glittery dollhouse like room all in pink, with rose flanked mirrors and gilded cherub lighting. It is charmingly kitschy, in the best way possible!
