Antwerp / Hotel

Superb place to stay in the city! They have a nice small shop too where you find a lot of nice handmade home products.

One of London's best kept secrets, Spiritual Bar is a small and super welcoming live music bar on a side road near Chalk Farm station. Always somehow busy but not too packed, they play host to most of London's best emerging blues, rock and folk musicians, and owner Raf is the nicest dude you could meet. And makes a serious mojito

Marrakesh / Hotel

An absolutely stunning and private boutique riad right in the old medina of Marrakesh. Amazing moroccan food, pools, and cocktails.

Florence / Bar

The place I feel like home when I´m in Firenze. Wine, antipasto and cheese. Who needs more?

Berlin / Bar

A very close friend of mine owns this bar. It looks tiny from the outside, but it has two rooms you have to pass until you get to last one which is a discofloor. I play music there from time to time and I am always surrounded by nice people und friends.

Paris / Restaurant

Perfect place if you like fresh, healthy and organic food, in very beautiful, well designed and cozy atmosphere. Especially their bowls are awesome! It's very familiar and the service is great. Favorite one in Paris!

Sydney / Restaurant

Super cool little pizza place in Surry Hills, amazing food with local beers and wines.

Geneva / Restaurant

The Tea is an address as only geneve knows how to propose them, a little jewel of the Chinese restoration that you will discover only by chance or hotly recommended by connoisseurs and / or fans (and they are many). Nestled in the heart of the Quartier des Bains, this tiny Asian specialty restaurant offers genuine and delicious cuisine, featuring a myriad of Dim-Sum (steamed ravioli) to discover or rediscover. In addition to its culinary specialties for which the establishment is particularly recognized, the Tea, like its name suggests, proposes especially a very wide selection of Chinese teas with evocative and poetic names, whose aficionados of the kind can easily be relished. You will also discover many accessories for The Tea, including a multitude of teapots in fonts or sandstones all more cute ones than the others: quite charming.

Copenhagen / Museum

When in need of some inspiration The Design Museum is an obvious choice living in Copenhagen. What is not that well known to the visitors is that the Design Museum has a great poster collection not open to the general public. If you plan your visit and make an agreement with the Museum beforehand, you will be able to visit the collection archived in the attic above the Museums’ library (which is also a must-see, but expect to be ‘shushed’). The Design Museum has since its founding in the 1890s collected posters, and the collection documents commercial, cultural, and political developments in poster history both in Denmark and around the world, from the boom in posters in the 1800s to today. And all of the stars of poster history are represented. The curator of the department will be able to find posters relevant to the subject you are interested in, and is very knowledgeable of both printing techniques and cultural history.

Monopoli / Restaurant

This lovely little restaurant is so charming, visually and also with their service. A family run place, which is really very warm and welcoming. We landed here after travelling from london on automobiles, planes, bus, train and a short walk from Monopoli train station - which I was super grateful for as I had luggage and was hungry, ready for some authentic Italian pasta 🍝 and spaghetti is one of my favourite kinds - so comforting. I went for the homemade option and a simple sauce and it was absolutely perfect 👌🏽 In every way ❤️🙏🏽❤️

São Paulo / Artist

Camila Pinheiro is a brazilian artist based in São Paulo. "The appealing use of clean lines, negative space and tropical colours in Camila Pinheiro's distinctive illustrations hint at the Brazilian artist's South American roots and high fashion background. She began her career studying fashion in São Paulo, before landing a job with Dior and then as a "cool hunter" for a range of brands. It was during that stint that she realised she wanted to know more about the branding behind the luxury labels, and that's when she decided to become a designer and illustrator. After a little more studying under her belt, she worked for various branding agencies for six years and then decided to launch her own studio. Everything she produces has to have a narrative, a habit she developed in the marketing industry. Her influences range from Magritte, Matisse and Mondrian to Alexander Girard and Michael Roberts."
