Austin / Cafe

Wheather starting or ending your day, this near East coffee shop / taproom has some of the best of whatever you're after. One of the first establishments to brave a then-emerging neighborhood, it's now surrounded by walkable shops and restaurants. A great porch for chilling and a pretty good spot to plug in a laptop and get some work done.

Montreal / Place

The Montreal metro opened in 1966, right before the city hosted the world expo in 1967. The metro system is one of the most visible legacies of this time, filled with Modernist architecture and design. The trains are on big rubber tires and it's warm in the winter.

Kiev / Place

One of the most secret and most ambitious construction projects in Kiev, 30-40 years of the XX century. It had to be rail tunnel under the Dnieper river. Works on creation tunnel were suspended because of the second world war. Stalin had idea to build two tunnels under Dnipro - North and South, who were to provide communication between the banks.

Perpignan / Bookstore

Small and nice typical bookstore full of regional authors

Ghent / Bar

Jiggers in Ghent, Belgium is a quirky artist bar that creates a sense of secretiveness and curious ambiance.

New York / Place

Occasionally I'll look at the Manhattan skyline and wonder what it was like in 1931 when people around the world were saying, "Holy shit, did you hear what they just built in New York?" Just get up there and trip out about humanity. And be sure to keep an eye out for the unmarked locked door guarding a set of stairs leading to a hidden terrace that was originally designed as a fucking docking station for zeppelins.

London / Transport

The number 9 bus is the last of London’s old Routemasters. It’s a reminder of how far London has come over the years both in technology and design. The route itself is also one of the Heritage routes going past all of London’s key attractions such as Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Hyde Park Corner and the Royal Albert Hall and the buses are still run by a traditional conductor which is fun and keeps things personal. It is a quintessential London journey.

Milan / Cafe

Iconic pasticceria (owned by LVMH) serving beautifully crafted pastries and coffee since 1817. Don't skip on the pistachio croissant!

Toronto / Park

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.

Stockholm / Place

A bay on Mälaren with nice hiking routes, bathing and forest. One of my favourite spots on Stockholm.

Queenstown / Attraction

At the end of the season it freezes over and it's like a scene straight out of Interstellar

Springfield / Place

An article in 2007 reported that practicing vampires live underneath the streets of Springfield. So, maybe you shouldn't actually get into the tunnels, but it is fun to look in the tunnels and get really freaked out.
