Going to Staten Island for free with the Ferry and enjoying the view of the Manhattan Skyline and getting that Snap of the Statue of Liberty! Top!

Super popular ski fields in Queenstown. We went at the end of the season but definitely worth visiting in the peak of Winter.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, also known as the Metropolis, is the main cathedral of the Greek Orthodox Church in Athens, Greece. It is located in the heart of the city, near Syntagma Square and the Greek Parliament. The cathedral was originally built in the 19th century, on the site of an older church that had been destroyed during the Greek War of Independence. It was designed in a neoclassical style by the German architect Friedrich von Gärtner, and features a large central dome and two smaller domes on either side. The interior of the cathedral is richly decorated with Byzantine-style frescoes and mosaics, as well as ornate iconography and intricate wood carvings. It has a capacity of over 5,000 people, making it one of the largest churches in Athens. The Metropolis is an important religious and cultural institution in Greece, and is the seat of the Archbishop of Athens and All Greece. It is also a popular destination for tourists, who come to admire its impressive architecture and beautiful interior decorations. In addition to its religious functions, the cathedral is also used for a variety of cultural events and concerts throughout the year, and is an important venue for the city's cultural life.

The Big C in Saphan Khwai, has reasonable prices, and is well stocked. Even picked up some t-shirts and underwear!

It is in the city centre. This former navy area is now partly open for the public. In summer you can swim in the canal there and have a great view on old Amsterdam, the Scheepvaartmuseum and the dead heart centre of Amsterdam. I like it most in winter, silent, grey, a place to mesmorize, walk alone around, meet a local who is walking his dog, than and have a coffee in pension Homeland, the restaurant hotel there. In central Amsterdam the space is rare, and what is there is overrun with tourists and full of local traffic, the trams, a million bikes, cars and pedestrians. That is why I like this place so much, super quiet space in the centre of Amsterdam.

Constitution Hill is a living museum that tells the story of South Africa’s journey to democracy. The site is a former prison and military fort that bears testament to South Africa’s turbulent past and, today, is home to the country’s Constitutional Court, which endorses the rights of all citizens. There is perhaps no other site of incarceration in South Africa that imprisoned the sheer number of world-renowned men and women as those held within the walls of Constitution Hill’s Old Fort,  Women's Jail and Number Four. Nelson Mandela. Mahatma Gandhi. Joe Slovo. Albertina Sisulu. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. Fatima Meer. They all served time here. But the precinct also confined tens of thousands of ordinary people during its 100-year history: men and women of all races, creeds, ages and political agendas; children too; the everyman and the elite. Today, every year there is the not to be missed Basha Uhuru Creative Festival (https://bashauhuru.co.za) which is hosted at Con Hill. The fest takes place in June, the month of the historical June 16th Youth Day.

Eero Saarinen’s landmark 1962 TWA Flight Center at JFK Airport restored and reimagined as a first-class hotel.

This Hare Krishna restaurant has a rotating menu of delicious, inexpensive vegetarian food. The atmosphere is always peaceful and the perfect place to sit is by the window overlooking Swanston St. I recommend the eggplant lasagne if you see it in the window display!

Prettiest skin care shop

Dense eucalyptus forest on a hill. Great hike on foggy San Francisco days.

Growing up in a small town surrounded by nature, life in the city becomes difficult sometimes. Prospect park is a great place to take a deep breath and refresh. Seeing the horizon there eases my mind.

This is the kind of world where I really feel safe. My Berlin home is the the place where my intimacy is, the place where I meet up friends, where I cook for them, where I love. It is the perfect shelter if I fall apart..
