Auckland / Restaurant

The best place to get cheap Chinese food in Auckland.

Auckland / Attraction

A public garden that explores different garden themes through each section of the grounds.

Auckland / Place

My favourite place in Auckland. They set up telescopes in the courtyard on clear nights so you can see the planets and moon.

Auckland / Attraction

A Gannet Colony situated on the edge of cliffs right next to Muriwai Beach. If you're lucky you'll see a few Seals. It's a short drive out of Auckland but it's worth it to get away from the City.

Queenstown / Attraction

At the end of the season it freezes over and it's like a scene straight out of Interstellar

Auckland / Cafe

I’m at Coffee Pen in Eden Terrace at least twice a week. Yasuji and Fumi make the best coffee. All food is homemade and changes daily. Super chill and quiet place to work.

Auckland / Park

A nice park that's close to the city. If you go right to the end and walk down the stairs, there are a few extra places to explore.

Auckland / Bay

Small bay in the city. When the tide's out, you can walk right around to the rock pools.

Auckland / Beach

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

Auckland / Park

Best place for a run or walk. Great view of the city once you reach the top.

Auckland / Attraction

Donkey Sanctuary at Highland Garden Reserve in Algies Bay. All the Donkeys are super friendly and love food.

Queenstown / Spa

The most grammed place in Queenstown and a short drive from the city centre. The spa has a retractable roof that you can open and look out onto Arthur's Pass.

Queenstown / Hotel

Great place to stay in Queenstown also probably has the best restaurant in town.

Queenstown / Attraction

Super popular ski fields in Queenstown. We went at the end of the season but definitely worth visiting in the peak of Winter.

Seoul / River

Great for a long walk by the river with heaps of parks and exercise stops.

New York / Cafe

A good flat white is hard to find but this is one place in NYC that has coffee that tastes like it does back in New Zealand.

Tokyo / Cafe

A small cafe / restaurant in the heart of Aoyama. Does a really good homemade lemonade.

Tokyo / Shop

I want to buy everything in store. Super cute place that stocks great things.

Osaka / Cafe

Cute little coffee place we stumbled across in Osaka.

Cologne / Graphic Designer

Born in 1988 in Cologne/Germany Hugo Hoppmann is a graphic designer and art director who graduated from ECAL in Lausanne/Switzerland in summer 2011. Alongside his studies he interned at Bureau Mirko Borsche, worked for Berlin-based culture magazine 032c and found his own publication Better Mjstakes. After a powerful one-year stint at Meiré und Meiré (working full-time on projects such as Kenzo, Andy Warhol's Interview magazine, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, 032c, brandeins) he has now returned to independency, traveling the world in pursuit for new adventures.

Madrid / Artist

Lucas Levitan is an illustrator today, filmmaker last week, photographer last month and art director last year. A new cycle might start again soon. A few years ago, whilst lunch break walking on Redchurch Street in East London, a brick fell from the 4th floor scaffolding of a building site and missed his head by millimeters. It made him think he should be doing more or what he loves, drawing. It was a turning point. That same moment he went back to the office he used to work for and resigned. Now he's lost and happier.

Linz / Art Director

Art Director from Austria

Aarhus / Artist

Danish Illustrator, Graphic Designer & Art Director, based in Aarhus, Denmark, lived in Paris for 5 years, love crime books/podcast/series, an aesthetician to the bone and loves food - both to cook and eat!

Milan / Art Director

I am an art director and set designer. I believe that there is a strong correlation between the worlds of design, art and fashion. That in order for you to create innovative and lasting ideas you must approach projects with a fluid and artistic mindset, as opposed to a more strategic or business-minded thought process.
