Toronto’s largest public park with many hiking trails, playgrounds, lake views, vegetation, picnic areas, a small zoo, coffee place, greenhouses, sport facilities throughout the year. A close place to my home and work, one of my favorites places to go, think, enjoy with my family or go on my own in a photographic walk on daylight or at night.

If the city has been enough, grab your bike and head of to some of the beautiful natural areas surrounding Ghent. By following the water you can ride a beautiful bike-ride to the Gentbrugse Meersen and take in some fresh air!

I hang around on the rooftop to relax. Los Angeles traffic is crazy so this is a good place to calm down and try to find my zen. The view is great and I love the rooftop Neon signs you can see from here.

My favorite place for eating meat. A unique ambient with a special lighting and best quality products.

In Inokashira Park Zoo is the oldest female elephant in Japan, her name is Hanako. She became 64 years old in January 2011. She came from Thailand in 1949 and became popular. We all wish her long life. However, there was a tragedy that Hanako accidentally stepped over the staff working there and killed him. She was called “murderer” at that time.

Perfect brunch place with great coffee and shockingly good pizzas (which isn't typically breakfast food I know, but a good excuse to extend your sunday afternoon to a late pizza lunch). They also have a dog menu and are pet friendly! The couches all have plug points built in at the bottom which makes me regret not getting my computer and spending the whole day here at every visit. Gets packed quick on Sundays though!

After a day of skiing in Steamboat resort or out in the surrounding backcountry, take the car or a shuttle bus to the natural hot springs just outside Steamboat downtown. It’s a gorgeous and incredibly relaxing outdoor natural spa where you can bath in differently heated pools. Jump in between the hot pools and the cold river for some extra blood circulations. They also provide massage and you can stay over night at the springs. However, I recommend staying in downtown or by the ski resort and go up to this beautiful spot for a couple of hours in the afternoon or evening. I went there during winter and I’m sure it’s as amazing during the rest of the year. 

For those who like looking without truly seeing, walking without thinking and see themselves as mere useful cogs - benches are, in fact, useless objects in a big city. However, for many Spanish people, benches are the last paradise for contemplation and hope in places where there is no time for such 'waste'. Benches are an invitation to stop. They are a place to turn our backs to cars, buses and motorbikes and watch inwards. Benches take us to invisible places inside our heads. They help us watch passers-by as if we are watching a movie. A movie featuring real, everyday characters. And those sitting are actors as well. They become both audience to and player in a huge live theatre. The drama is built frame by frame, minute by minute. This is the way that life passes for those who contemplate the invisible. The bench helps us to look outwards to the city and inwards to ourselves, and to watch the great cinema that is the city. And a city like Madrid is full of amazing stories. foto by Eneida Serrano

Their Sardo dish is so good! It’s a dish you’ll never find anywhere else, because they made it up!! How cool is that?? The space inside is very small and cozy. The staff are so sweet 🥹. I went there few times and tried different teas every time. I was never disappointed. And staff are sweet, and remembered me whenever I came back <3 Might be difficult to find a table on a weekend night.

Gramm Cafè is a super lovely place, born just few months ago in the warmest part of Milan: Navigli. Great for sharing some moments with friends, tasting great quality cocktails in a stylish designed interior. One of the best drink is for sure "Prete Rosso"!

Eat embutidos while drinking Champagne. It is a fun place, always very crowded!

An architectural gem: immersed in an ample private garden with a swimming pool and a tennis court and set in the center of Milan, the Necchi Campiglio Villa was completed by the architect Piero Portaluppi in 1935. Commissioning the structure was the Necchi Campiglio family, part of the rich and elegant industrial middle class of Milan in the 1930s. The disposition of the interior spaces corresponds to the traditional layout of noble homes: the daytime areas on the ground floor, the bedrooms on the first floor, the service rooms in the areas under the roof, and the den as well as the changing rooms and the bathrooms for the pool in the basement. The Necchi Campiglio family wanted above all to distance themselves from the traditions of their day, and planned ample areas dedicated to the reception of guests and to the social whirl: the dining room, the smoking room, the library and the grand salon. Right after WWII, areas of the villa underwent changes effected by the architect Tomaso Buzzi, who sweetened the linearity of Portaluppi’s style, and inserted aspects inspired of the 18th century, especially those in the style of Louis the 15th of France.
