Amsterdam / Zoo

Not a big fan of zoos and animals behind cages, but if you can spot Flamingos in the east-centre of Amsterdam, then count me in <3 ! You can actually see them while riding the bike on Plantage Middenlaan, quite a beautiful scene. Note: De Plantage next to zoo is quite cool cafe/restaurant, with a mix of vintage style and industrial elements of the old buildings of Artis. Great atmosphere, and ideal for a more sophisticated outing.

Hong Kong / Place

I almost didn't include this purely for ubiquitous nature of the photo, just see the image results when googling Hong Kong and you'll know what I mean. However I can't deny the beauty of this view from one of many tourist destinations, The Peak, which visitors will ride a 1930s wooden tram for 15 minutes just to take this photo. I also like it for it's architectural aesthetic. I think it's only when you view Hong Kong's cityscape like this, that you realise the density of the buildings, something you might not realise at ground level.

Tenerife / Nature

Its name means something like "naked mountain", and it's so true, there are almost no plants growing on it. Placed also close to El Medano village but on the opposite side compared to Montaña Roja, there are a few tiny beaches hidden inside it and also another one in its outer side, closer to the road. Once again, the powerful volcanic appeal... Those hidden bays are a great place to spend the day naked and laying on the sand, specially when there's no one else around and you feel like the king of the place ;) I grew up in El Medano, that's maybe why I appreciate the surroundings that much.

London / Museum

Beautiful museum with permanent collections on anthropology, natural history and musical instruments. Surrounded by a park with farm animals and beautiful views of London skyline.

London / Park

There are many great parks in London to choose from, but Hampstead Heath is by far my favourite; a lido, Parliament Hill with a great view of the city, ponds, woods and plenty of space. It’s a great place to hang out in the summer, but also presents a lovely walk in the winter. Address: (As it’s so big obviously it doesn’t really have a specific address but there are 2 main entrances) Entrances by Gospel Oak or Hampstead Heath Entrance.

New York / Restaurant

The best, coziest place for a burger!

Tokyo / Place

These are the Icicles of Misotsuchi in Oku-chichibu. They are built up very slowly by water dripping down. The best time to see these icicles is during the coldest part of the year, from about the middle of January to the middle of February. They're located in the in the Arakawa headwaters.

Antwerp / Restaurant

Vietnamese streetfood – on another level! Great natural wines too.

Verona / Bar

Great place events and beers situated into an ex slaughterhouse in the heart of Verona.

London / Bookstore

A brilliant little hidden gem of a place to relax and look at some interesting rare / Out of print books and Magazine. Their evening art events are also very special. Great atmosphere and great people.

Albany / Bar

Great local distillery, bar and bottle shop. Good cocktails served in a renovated historic building with an industrial/modern vibe. Hang out on the outdoor patio space at the edge of the warehouse district.

Munich / Area

Gärtnerplatz is s a central square in the Isarvorstadt district. The square has a lovely fountain surrounded by flowers and benches. The square draws a lot of crowd so you may not find a bench to grab, but there are plenty of cafes around for backup.
