You've heard of Disneyland, but you must see the Abraham Lincoln animatronic at the end of Main Street near the entrance. He gives a super life-like impassioned speech about America that is very timely.

Melbourne / University

Free lectures held in a cosy bars around Melbourne's inner north. This wonderful organisation runs weekly courses on a range of topics, purely for the pursuit of knowledge. The perfect antidote for a post-grad like myself who often misses lectures and class discussions. Uni with a glass of red wine - yes please.

New York / Restaurant

An institution in Carroll Gardens that never lets you down. Don’t miss the prunes dessert or the wine bar, Franks, next door.

Vienna / Architecture

I love visiting places that offer a totally different idea of urbanity and experimental concepts for urban (mass) housing. The Wohnpark Alterlaa, built from 1973–1985, is such a project. Hop on the subway to get there and I recommend that you take an extended walk through the area and the surrounding park.

Ridgewood / Cafe

Nice spot for coffee in Ridgewood. Very chill and conducive for work. Good bagels.

Liverpool / Bar

A new artificial island park where all New Yorkers and visitors can experience nature and art in a unique urban oasis on the Hudson River. The park features a lush, seasonal, landscape with rolling hills, winding pathways and dazzling views coupled with programming that includes music, dance, theater, poetry, comedy and arts workshops for all ages.

Providence / Shop

A fabulous little Antiques & Americana shop with a potpourri of interesting curios and vintage finds. New pleasing and peculiar finds land in the store every week, including fine, folk, and outsider art, objects of design, lighting, furnishings, signs and advertising, ephemera, antique toys, period clothing and textiles, curiosities, and more. Part of the Old as Adam store is dedicated to the Found Object Gallery, which every few months reopens with a new collection of objects bound by a different conceptual thread. The thematic exhibits sift through the material past to explore the chance poetics, contemporary relevance, and unintentional wisdom of old things, whether trashed or treasured.

Hong Kong / Restaurant

Ok so I know this is the third food post but typically the reason for going on holiday is eat well. This is probably my favourite meal of all time, hot pot, or what I like to call, "Hotch Potch" is huge cauldron of soup stock in the middle of the table, where you order endless plates of raw meats, seafood, vegetable and noodles to cook yourself, at your own pace. My stomach welcomes this warming meal most during London's colder months, but the sheer choice and freshness of ingredients on offer in Tao Heung means there's always room for Hotch Potch even in Hong Kong's warm humid climate.

Paris / Cafe

Strawberry mousse with pistache cream inside, the Saya by Sadaharu Aoki is my favourite cake. Sadaharu Aoki have two patisseries in Paris, 35 Rue de Vaugirard near the Luxembourg park, and 56 Boulevard de Port Royal in the 5 arrondissement.
