Old parking garage turned canal bar.

Favorite cocktail bar in São Paulo. Cozy atmosphere, superb drinks, and friendly staff. If possible, go there early and sit at the counter for the best drinking experience and chat with the friendly bartenders.

A hutong is a type of narrow street or alley most commonly associated with Beijing. Since the mid-20th century, the number of Beijing hutongs has dramatically decreased as they are facing demolition to make way for new roads and buildings. More recently, some hutongs have been designated as protected areas in an attempt to preserve this aspect of Chinese cultural history. I love walking around the hutongs when I need a break from the office (my current office is located in a particularly interesting hutong neighbourhood); they are a great exemplar of ancient urban planning and architecture, and breathe "the old way of life".

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.

The Big C in Saphan Khwai, has reasonable prices, and is well stocked. Even picked up some t-shirts and underwear!

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.

Had a quick stop over in Miami en route to Mexico, and I knew the perfect place to go- The Wynwood Walls. Graffiti art has become quite a fixture in our modern day cities and it's been fascinating seeing more graffiti artists showcased in museums and galleries around the world. Coming from LA I see quite an array of artists in the city as Los Angeles is such a creative mecca for artists. Having said that, with all of our painted walls and exhibitions, Wynwood Walls is definitely one of the best spaces I've seen showcasing street art. All the walls are flanked with beautiful murals, painted by some of the world's leading street artists like Shepard Fairey, Tristan Eaton, and Audrey Kawasaki. Besides being a photo-op hot spot, it's also a very relaxing environment with plenty of spaces to sit and relax in while enjoying the artwork.

La Boite à Photos is located in the heart of the old town, on a charming cobbled street. This is obviously a must for me, because there are all kinds of 35mm and instant films available for sale, but also second-hand Polaroid cameras and lomographic cameras. The store owners are themselves collectors and invested in the artistic Nancy's life, having organized a great photos contest last spring.

Placed beside the sea, very close to the coastal village of El Medano, is called like that (Red Mountain) due to its particular color, which is because of the iron contained in its rocks. xview from the top, specially the sunrise and sunset over the sea. El Medano is also a nice place to be, famous for its good conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Great records ! 

The city’s old slaughterhouse, now an art centre. It’s a monumental project that somehow manages to survive the financial crisis. They organize interesting exhibitions, talks and other activities. The perfect excuse to go for a walk around the southern side of Madrid.

A modern natural history museum located in a freight elevator dedicated to its signature curatorial style of "Object Journalism" that draws parallels to the older cabinet of curiosities model.
