Antwerp / Cafe

Besides being the most likeable coffee place in town, don't underestimate their chef. Definitely try to matcha waffles!

Auckland / Bay

Small bay in the city. When the tide's out, you can walk right around to the rock pools.

Paris / Bookstore

If you're looking for somewhere that has an an excellent selection of artist books then Yvon Lambert is the place to go. Not only that but they sell incredible tote bags, with great straps and nice minimal design that will last you a life time. Out the back is a small gallery space, often showcasing the work of featured artist who's book is for sale in the shop. One of my favourite things about this shop is how friendly and welcomign they are! Not only that but they do cool collaborations, such as the one with David Horvitz, where he emails them a new photograph of the sky every day, the bookshop prints it out and you can only buy that one image on the day.

London / Transport

A beautiful and spacious (outside of rush hour) way to get from Highbury, through east London to south of the river in minutes. The train snakes epically through Hoxton and Shoreditch and opens up the Jubilee Line via the beautiful Canada Water / Bermondsey stations.

Paris / Shop

At Dries van Noten I always find something and often wear it for years.

Tilburg / Event

The summer-festivities that are organized every year give face to a city that was to be considered faceless for decades. Incubate, the annual celebration of independent culture forms a platform for musical styles,movies, lectures and visual arts. In 2011, Luke Jerram's project "Play Me I'm Yours" caused a lot of amazing street-moments where everyone was invited to play one of the 101 pianos in the city streets. The Incubate Festival takes place in September.

Monopoli / Beach

A very lovely beach club. A lil' on the expensive side.... situated near a great part of the beach, nice loungers, washing facilities as well as excellent service - fresh and deliciously prepared food. They also have a surf/paddleboard centre which has a great instructor and equipment. (ask for Walter) On a week visit I came here twice. To surf when there was surf available and paddleboarding on a calmer sea. Also had lunch and drinks here and had a really great time!

Stockholm / Bar

One of the best bars in the summer. Nice bar with a good atmosphere and sun in evening

Copenhagen / Museum

Sometimes it is great to look at surreal looking things to set the imagination going. This is an slightly old-school museum with traditional ways of presenting the wast collection, but I personally like that. This museum is a part of the Natural History Museum of Denmark, and has a permanent exhibition ‘From pole to pole' which show animals from around the world. The collection manifests that there is so much to know about the world and who we share it with, and it really sets your mind working. Get inspired by geometric patterns on seashells, colours of birds or scales of reptilians. The museum has many important remains of recently extinct birds in storage, including the eyes and internal organs of the last two great auks, several specimens of the pied raven, and one of only two known complete skulls of the dods that were taken to Europe in the 17th century.

A Coruña / Restaurant

Every time I missed Italy I like going to Osteria Peroni. The place for eating a real pasta in Coruña.

New York / Restaurant

Its a great Saturday after museums visit, a Viennese Cafe, for a clear white wine and apple strudel.

Hamburg / Architecture

The Wohnkultur66 showroom is located in the historical slaughterhouse in Hamburg Schanzenviertel. It's a furniture store specialized in Scandinavian design. One of the few places in the world where you can find some ebautiful pieces of Ib Kofod-Larsen, one of my favorite design master
