Florence may be beautiful, but with the amount of tourists it can get quite overwhelming. Todo Modo is a wonderful escape located near the centre that provides a space to sit, sip, read, and reflect. A quaint bookstore in the front, with a bar/café in the back, Todo Modo is one of my favourites in Florence. The hanging plants, the smell of books, the wood covered interior, all provide a cosy nook to sink into. Recommendations: a glass of chianti classico + a pen and journal.

Barcelona / Bakery

This is the perfect place to read a book while you enjoy a good coffee and a tasty and organic piece of cake. They also do a delicious brunch.

Los Angeles / Bar

The best Old-fashioned cocktails ever! Hands down. These mixologists know what they're doing. This place is also famous for their french-dipped sandwiches. And oh yes, not to forget about the pickled eggs.

Toronto / Park

The rattray marsh is the set for my wild youth spent among the trees and rivers.

London / Work Space

This is my regular working place every week. Love the staffs there and the atmosphere surrounding by contemporary arts.

Paris / Bar

Delicious cocktails in a lovely mid-century ambiance.

Providence / Restaurant

Oberlin is one of the best examples of Providence's fantastic dining scene—expect a wide range of excellent lesser-known, sustainably caught local fish like tautog, butterfish and bluefish, as well as a wide range of other regionally-inspired dishes like fresh pasta, homemade sourdough, and roasted local veg. The place has a real neighborhood vibe that makes you want to stay for hours, which is definitely helped by the exceptional wine list and desserts (specifically: the Basque cheesecake).

Hong Kong / Cafe

Winstons coffee doubles up coffee energy boost with youthful vibe in what feels like a very compressed space around the corner from MTR station. Always on the move with each moment never dull — from the earliest thinkable hour in the morning till late evening, and with espressos progressing into Espresso Martinis along the way.

Paris / Restaurant

Amazing Afro-Caribbean classics food.

London / Restaurant

Award-winning restaurant and creative hub. Introducing great chefs from a variety of countries and cuisines.

Utrecht / Creative Space

Kapitaal is a silkscreen workplace where i used to be involved with a lot. After leaving it, I still return quite often for silkscreening, a lecture, exhibitions, a party, or just for good talks.

Berlin / Lake

My favorite lake to visit during the warmest months. It's located in the southwestern part of Berlin and it's reacheable by public transportation, just around 40min from the city center.

Stockholm / Photographer

Living in stockholm. I started my career by assisting many of Swedens top photographers. In the beginning I was intrigued by fashion but over the years my course has changed towards a new more personal photography, holding a slower, more thoughtfull expression. I try to tell subtle stories that has a personal connection. My objects are landscapes, architecture and environmental portraits, often with a calm melancholy where the human influence on our surrounding is an important subject.
