Sydney / Cafe

Absolute favourite cafe, excellent coffee and food!

Paris / Bar

The typical bistro in the heart of Belleville. Warmfull place where a bunch of people meet : a delicious mix in an easy going ambiance.

Copenhagen / Museum

When in need of some inspiration The Design Museum is an obvious choice living in Copenhagen. What is not that well known to the visitors is that the Design Museum has a great poster collection not open to the general public. If you plan your visit and make an agreement with the Museum beforehand, you will be able to visit the collection archived in the attic above the Museums’ library (which is also a must-see, but expect to be ‘shushed’). The Design Museum has since its founding in the 1890s collected posters, and the collection documents commercial, cultural, and political developments in poster history both in Denmark and around the world, from the boom in posters in the 1800s to today. And all of the stars of poster history are represented. The curator of the department will be able to find posters relevant to the subject you are interested in, and is very knowledgeable of both printing techniques and cultural history.

Vilnius / Restaurant

Best terrace in town.

Barcelona / Shop

An small and cute perfumery store placed in the Raval that I discovered some weeks ago. The space design is a mix of traditional materials and a contemporary sense of the space and is full of numerous things that smell crazy. I bought one cake of soap from a portugese label called Claus Porto. Now my bathroom smells like a country of savage water lilies and I'm looking forward to wash my hands all the time.

Madrid / Architecture

A piece of Egypt in the city centre. This temple, a gift from the Egyptian government, was taken stone by stone from the valley flooded when the Aswan Dam was built. It’s a great place for a picnic in the summer. You can enjoy the sunset and the (grey) skyline of Madrid.

London / Gallery

My walk through the Heath often continues on to the Camden Arts Centre, a really fantastic exhibition space that runs workshops and courses as well as having a great café and bookshop to boot. I collect their exhibition booklets called File Notes - beautifully designed by James Goggin and Sarah De Bondt - some memorable shows include Eva Hesse Studiowork, The Bruce Lacey Experience and Serena Korda’s Aping the Beast. The latter concluded with a procession from the gallery up to the Heath, culminating in a re-enactment of The Battle of the River Plate in a pond. This is my photo of the Beast and the Boob Meteorite.

Antwerp / Shop

You can find second hand designer clothes here. With an especially great selection of Belgian brands like Raf Simons and Dries van Noten, Stephan Schneider, Christian Wijnants...

Madrid / Art Centre

Rooftop party with such a view. Should I add anything more?

Melbourne / Cafe

Located on the Corner of New and York street, Richmond. New York Tomato makes one of the best breakfasts in town. An old semi warehouse which has been converted into a cafe.

Florence / Park

This secret garden, positioned behind San Miniato al Monte, just a few steps away from one of the most beautiful look out points Florence has to offer, Piazzale Michaelangelo. Here is a quaint whimsical hideaway. Coming from my small town roots, completely surrounded by nature; finding this miniature grove was a gold mine. Here, you will find trees, things I immensely love and miss; this slice of nature here gives me a refreshing taste of purity and comfort.

Horsens / Museum

Horsens Art Museum Horsens Art Museum is a highly pro led museum showing Danish contemporary art, and in a lesser degree examples of international contemporary art. Among a lot of other things, the museum has the biggest collection of paintings, drawings and graphic works by the famous Danish artist Michael Kvium, who was born and raised in Horsens. With its location in the beautiful park Lunden (the Grove), Horsens Art Museum is always worth a visit.
