This is a great spot for groceries as well as frozen prepared foods and take out. All of the baked goods are made in house and they offer a number of lunch options through their bowl and smoothie bar. This place is great because they strive to be a zero waste one-stop shop that really cares about their impact on the environment. There’s a great selection of local products and produce as well including many bulk items including dry foods, cleaning and household supplies.

Brunswick / Place

This image was taken on my Rolleiflex in my beautiful little Brunswick cottage whom I share with my fella Jacob and two cats, this one is Min, the other one is Charlie. I love our little home so much, it is really cosy and I am lucky to come home to these guys every night.

Carrboro / Cafe

One of my favorite aspects of living today instead of ten years ago is the feeling of all kinds of diverse people creatively contributing to the culture. And this huge independent coffee house embodies this scene. It's usually crowed with creative class types and grad students working away. There's often people from other countries in the midst of skype conversations into their computer screens. And the music completely changes depending on what band the barista is in.

London / Shop

The many book stores dotted along this strip can provide hours of inspiration. Aside from those selling new books, several specialise in second-hand and antiquarian books.

Barcelona / Place

Barcelona is also amazing because of it's surroundings in winter I love going to the mountain, it's just one hour and a half drive and in summer to the beach of course.

Porto / Area

One of the oldest streets of Oporto, which, besides allowing for a superb view of the city center, is sprinkled with Art Nouveau details.

New York / Cafe

Best matcha lattes, don't try the udon, you'll fall in love with this place. Perfect lunch spot and amazing books! A must-go

Oxford / Museum

The place I always go for inspiration, you can touch lots of the taxidermy animals and there is a separate collection in the back called Pitt Rivers which is a collection of over 500,000 objects from all around the world, especially look out for the shrunken heads!

New York / Restaurant

Have you ever had Uzbek food? Me neither until I went to Nargis Cafe. It's kinda like middle eastern food mixed with Ukranian food. It's so good and so inexpensive.

New York / Bar

I had been living in Brooklyn Heights for some time and Long Island Restaurant has been closed for as long as I could remember. Then one day, the sign was lit up and not long after the new owners had resurrected the spot with the promise to the previous owners the name and sign never changes. Order "A Martini" from the menu. It's divine. As are the french fries. They're double fried.

Copenhagen / Restaurant

My favourite place to hang out in this city (and a hidden gem)! The simple café and restaurant in Copenhagen’s rustic Refshaleøen is all about 'hygge'. La Banchina boasts one of the city’s best spots for sunbathing and jumping in the water from early spring to late autumn. And during winter, the wood-fired sauna gets you all set after a cold dip in the harbour.

Oakland / Restaurant

Favorite Chinese spot. Everyone agrees - best homemade noodles.
