Brussels / Shop

Brussels based record store.

Barcelona / Bar

Chocolateria Churreria

Taipei / Place

The Sanzhi UFO houses were abandoned buildings in Sanzhi District, the place described as a ghost town and were torn down by the government in late 2008. I was fortune to visit there once with my uni friends in time. One of the most surreal place I have ever been... what a shame the buildings are all gone now.

London / Cafe

Sit. Drink coffee. Buy Leica. Leave penniless.

Barcelona / Cafe

Granja Dulcinea was born in 1941, one of the most emblematic chocolatiers of Barcelona, founded by Juan Mach and Elvira Farràs.

Amsterdam / Bar

Located under Q-Park, Waterkant is ideal for sunny days since you can get direct sunlight until late evening. Grab a beer and a table on the terrace and enjoy sunny Amsterdam while it lasts. Note: if you get a bit tipsy you think you see a double Guggenheim

Melbourne / Restaurant

This Hare Krishna restaurant has a rotating menu of delicious, inexpensive vegetarian food. The atmosphere is always peaceful and the perfect place to sit is by the window overlooking Swanston St. I recommend the eggplant lasagne if you see it in the window display!

Sydney / Library

With heaps of curves, greenery and natural light, this library is super conducive to working and learning — plus there's a secret slippery slide for kids that goes through the middle of the building, just for fun

Helsinki / Cinema

Orion is one of the nicest cinemas in Helsinki. It is run by National Audiovisual Archive so they are showing a great variety of films from art house to modern classics and everything in between. Last time I went to see Hitchcock’s Vertigo.

New York / Shop

Local fashion (men/unisex) with beautiful signature varsity jackets. Also exhibits interesting artists in the same space. They say they want to tell the story of style throughout American history and to emphasize the power of presentation and they do this extremely well.

London / Museum

This is one of the only buildings in London that can lift depression. Each concrete block in the building is hand cast and hand hammered. Certainly the best bannisters in town.

Barcelona / Architecture

In 1938 during the Spanish Civil war, Francisco Franco laid siege to the city of Barcelona. On the 30 September 1938, one of Franco's bombs fell on the church killing 30 people most of whom were children from the School of Sant Philip Neri and some were refugee children from Madrid where the church had been turned into a make-shift orphanage. As people pulled survivors from the rubble, a second bomb hit the square, killing 12 more bringing the death toll to 42. It was the second worst bombing hit in Barcelona during the war. Evidence of the bombings can be seen in the pockmarked walls of the church.

Tenerife / Photographer

I was Born in the sunny lands of Tenerife, holiday destination of millions of people, I grew up there and moved to Madrid when I was 18. Studied Environmental Sciences and discovered my vocation in photography at the same time, and nowadays combine both. A sustainable living is my goal and I'll do my best for photography to be my way to get it. Tenerife is a great place to visit, though at the same time because of the tourism the island has been distroyed and overcrowded in many areas. But luckily there are still many great places to enjoy the original nature.
