Great venue in East Williamsburg

Nicknamed the "Palace of Purification" this beautiful art deco style water plant sits atop a hill in the East beaches overlooking Lake Ontario. At the foot of the palace is a sleepy little beach to enjoy as you wish. Pack an umbrella, pack a picnic, but leave your drone at home.

London / Shop

I can't pass without dropping in, Orcs Nest is a small independent boardgame, D&D etc store that's been around forever(1987)... and has the best logo. Good selection of games for younger kids too.

Buenos Aires / Cafe

Located in Palermo neighbourhood, LAB is one of the first coffee shops to introduce the Barista culture in Buenos Aires. Lucky we! Well-brewed coffee was something this city had missed for a long time. (plus, the carrot cake loaf is quite delicious!)

Tokyo / Shop

TSUTAYA is a brand for rental movies and music. In 2011, the new TSUTAYA lanched in Daikanyama, Tokyo. They have a vast selection of art and design books. People enjoy to find books here and drinking coffee.

Barcelona / Cinema

Old cinema, Original Version

London / Cinema

The most special and charming cinema (probably most deprived too) in London. A place to catch a classic or a new release. You can get a lifetime membership for £50, weekly £1 member screenings. A place where staff are as passionate about pictures as its visitors. A must visit for movie buffs.

Milan / Bar

It's a very laid back bar located in Chinatown, that serves also food. I have designed this bar with Roberto Marone, who is one of the owners and we took inspiration from our various travels. It's a very cozy, almost homely place and a perfect spot to hang out.

Madrid / Restaurant

One of the oldest Italian restaurants in Madrid. The food is great and has a cosy atmosphere with lovely interior. Opposite the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Istanbul / Gallery

The Arter gallery is one of the galleries that I like to frequent the most. The building was renovated in the past few years and has four floors of exhibition space. It always features the leading national artists and introduces contemporary international artists to the city.

Berlin / Bookstore

A very nice little second-hand bookstore, including a shelve with international books in French, English, and Spanish too. Always nice people to meet and a great selection of art and cook books, for affordable prices.

London / Visual Artist

I am half Spanish, half English, and I lived in Iceland for five months. I don't like soggy bread and I really love roast dinners and tea. By day I try to be a creative copywriter, visual poet and voice over artist but most of the time it's just me juggling my life around. When I was little, I was told not to talk to strangers but now It has become my favorite hobby.

Porto / Designer

Fashion designer, art director and undergraduate architecture student. Owner of a watchful and curious look, I have interest in experimentation of diverse techniques and combination of unusual materials. Crafts are one of my passions and I find numerous possibilities of transforming discarded objects in a fasionable and sustainable way. My interests go from fine arts to architecture and cinema. In my free time I enjoy cycling observing the city, and cooking - as I nurture a passion for pasta and meetings around the kitchen table.

Cape Town / Photographer

David Chancellor, born 1961, London England, works and lives in South Africa. His work, for which he travels extensively, can be best described as documentary reportage. His series Hunters, which will be released as a monograph in 2011, explores the relationship between man and animal.

New Delhi / Graphic Designer

Khyati Trehan is an independent graphic designer and 3D visual artist from New Delhi, India. Her work is textural, playful, emotive and driven by an ache to make the intangible tangible. Khyati’s career has seen her work across disciplines, drawing inspiration from the context of the work and often exploring the edges of all things visual for the likes of the Oscars, New York Times, New Yorker Magazine, Apple, Adobe, Absolut, Instagram and Snapchat. Khyati was one of Print Magazine's 15 New Visual Artists under 30 in 2017, was chosen as the Artistry Creator of the Year at Adweek’s Creator Visionary Awards, won the ADC Young Guns 19 and most recently, made it to the Forbes 30under30 India List.

Hong Kong / Graphic Designer

Louisa is a journalist and graphic designer based in London, where she was born and raised. With both parents of Hong Kong origin and half a dozen visits later, Louisa has grown to love the once British colony of 150 years. Travel guides will tell you Hong Kong is a place of shopping/eating, and whilst sampling new wave Asian desserts is still high on the agenda, Louisa prefers to spend her time there documenting the cultural differences between the England and China.
