A french “bar à vin” in Helsinki?! Yes indeed! Thanks to our friend Niki :)

London / Bar

One of the few remaining bastions of alternative Soho, The Crobar is a metal bar which attracts a friendly crowd and serves a top selection of beer and whisky

London / Museum

A walled secret garden, the Physic Garden is like a time capsule, founded in 1673 to allow apprentices of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London to study the healing properties of plants, it is now a living museum. Tours are offered by volunteers with immense knowledge of botany and the cultural history of the garden or visitors can wander the grounds alone and spot odd and fascinating plants such as the mystical Mandrake.

Paris / Cafe

Really good coffee. Love the light in the mornings there.

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.

Vancouver / Park

A hidden (almost secret) garden! located off to the side of the Pacific National Exhibition Centre. This little Japanese landscaped garden is not only a quiet sanctuary where one can admire its lake, rocks, and bonzai trees, it is also a commemorative place that serves as a healing reminder of the history of Japanese Canadian internment during the Second World War.

New York / Bar

Make sure you know the size of your party when you arrive, or the formidable looking bouncer may give you a hard time at the door (they prefer no standing inside, all parties must be seated), but once you’re in, the drinks are fantastic and the staff is friendly and accommodating. In addition to cocktails, Pouring Ribbons features an impressive selection of Chartreuse.

London / Pub

If you've lived in North London then you probably know all about The Faltering Fullback and their legendary multi-level beer garden

Antwerp / Shop

Arte Antwerp is a menswear brand created in Antwerp. Arte wants to be a creative label, rather than just a clothing brand. That's why they regularly invite artists to collaborate with, in this picture you can see work of artist Tom Volkaert.

Buenos Aires / Restaurant

Burgio is the classic pizza porteña place, one of many in the city of Buenos Aires. Don't expect any similarities with Napolitan style pizza. At Burgio you usually "eat & go" at the bar, the two-slice + Quilmes beer "PROMO". We call it "Pizza al molde".

Paris / Restaurant

Since 1946, this bakery and traiteur has been offering Jewish and eastern European specialties, from cheesecake and strudel to pastrami. One item you can’t miss is their signature Super Sandwich, the “Big-Pletzel,”. You have your choice of pastrami or turkey, which gets layered with eggplant caviar, red pepper caviar, cucumbers, pickles and fresh tomato slices, all on one of their soft homemade onion and poppy seed rolls...BIM

Providence / Shop

Hungry Ghost is an artist-owned studio and shop that sells a range of merch (all printed in-house), as well as repurposed vintage apparel, patches, pins, local zines, VHS tapes, and other deadstock eccentricities. Great for souvenirs and niche Rhode Island joke products (like their notorious "Rhode Island Slut" sweatshirt, inspired by a scene in the original Dumb & Dumber movie).

Rome / Graphic Designer

My name is Brando Corradini, I am 29 years old and I am a graphic designer. Since my childhood my world was drawing and coloring and this passion of mine led me to undertake higher studies in the artistic field which was followed by a three-year degree in Graphic Design and Visual Communication, achieved in 2013 at the Academy of Fine Arts “RUFA " From Rome. I consider myself completely creative but above all I am an artist. In what I do and in what I am I always want to be free, far from any rule. I don't like certain stakes, even when I worked for companies or other companies, I felt imprisoned within certain rules. I have traveled a lot and this has given me the opportunity to have new experiences. For my works I draw inspiration from everything that surrounds me, from what I live, from what every day passes before my eyes, making life a wonderful muse. Currently I have opened a streetwear clothing line "NOMADE CLOTHING" with Studio Mylab3d, by Damiano Primiceri, a dear friend of mine since the days of art school who is interested in 3D design and modeling. Today I am what I am because, over time, I realized that I didn't want to be just a graphic designer but rather a "graphic artist". I would like to become a person known worldwide: my dream is to have a page on Wikipedia!
