These two small mountain villages make for the perfect city escape in either summer or winter. I like to wander around the narrow, cobbled streets, cosy up in one of the many restaurants and cafés and look at the local craftsmen work in their shops. Not far away there's a mountain topped with a monastery—a great place to enjoy of a good dose of fresh air and serenity. Amazing views of the area don't hurt either.

London / Shop

Home to all the toys you'd probably forgotten about.

Frankfurt / Gallery

A kind of Claustrophobia. At the moment an exhibition about "documentary sculptures" (Eyal Weizman) - three-dimensional prints made from scans of crime scenes.

Montecarotto / Beach

Mezzavalle is a semi-hidden bay located on the Ancona coast, about a 40 minute drive from Montecarotto. To arrive at the bay, it’s a 30 minute hike down the hill. In the winter it has a great atmosphere of emptiness and isolation, a good thinking/swimming spot.

Margate / Attraction

The Shell Grotto is basically a subterranean passageway covered in mosaics created with seashells, 4.6 million shells apparently. Its quite incredible, I love it and its well worth a visit.

Stockholm / Bakery

The best bakery i Stockholm. My favorite is their saffron bun, the cardamom bun or their croissant twist with cinnamon. All these sticks to the baking paper because they have so much butter and caramel in them.

London / Cafe

This may not be much of a secret but deserves a mention. I find it hard to go anywhere near this place without having to go there. Freshly baked Beigels hot salt beef and it never closes, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Leipzig / Cafe

Located in an old butcher’s place. Those tiles! (The photo is from the previous café but it looks even better now...)

Antwerp / Restaurant

Amazing Tibetan food in Antwerp's Chinese district. Try the laaping!

Ghent / Bar

Edelrot is a small, intimate and mobile wine bar with a great selection of natural wines.

Barcelona / Bar

Outdoor Bar and BBQ restaurant with amazing views of the harbour. Great place to spend warm summer evenings...

San Jose / Shop

O’Henry’s is about half a mile from where I grew up. It’s located right across from what used to be a huge IBM plant (a space now occupied by a huge Hitachi plant and a half-assed strip mall). Everbody I grew up with would agree this is the best donut shop around. O’Henry’s has the best glazed donuts around, which taste blissful if you get them early in the morning (6am-7am).
