Famous for their flatbread fridays, August First is a friendly restaurant/bakery serving fresh bread and new dishes everyday.

Another lovely outdoor recreation is Seurasaari Island. I enjoy walking around the island, but The Open-Air Museum of Seurasaari also displays the traditional Finnish way of life. You can't help running into some badass squirrels and mellow swans. The photo is taken in January.

Best place to go for simple pasta dishes.

Pedion tou Areos is a large public park located in the center of Athens, Greece. It is situated just north of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and covers an area of approximately 27 hectares. The park has a long and interesting history. It was originally used as an army parade ground during the Ottoman occupation of Greece, and later served as a military training ground for the Greek army. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was also used as a venue for various cultural events, including concerts, fairs, and exhibitions. Today, Pedion tou Areos is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. It features several walking and jogging paths. The park also contains several large open spaces and a small lake, making it an ideal spot for picnics and other outdoor activities. Overall, Pedion tou Areos is a valuable green space in the heart of Athens, providing a peaceful and relaxing escape from the busy city streets.

Mosaico is the most international coworking space in Valencia located in the heart of the city.

A friend took me to this bar on Greek Street, I’m unsure of what it’s called or if it should be there, but it feels pretty authentic and makes you dream of the Soho of the 60s.

One of my favorite sophisticated-but-casual places in Berlin. Everything is delicious and the restaurant is cozy and minimal at the same time. It is the right place to have a wonderful dinner with somebody special without being too anxious about the dress code :)

At the Damrak on the daily journey between home and studio, my eye is continually drawn to the emblem that has functioned as a façade ornament on the corner of the Beurs van Berlage for more than a hundred years. In combination with the past function of the building - trade centre - and in relation to the present financial crisis, the timeless maxim gains extra significance: ‘Dis-pe-reert niet’ (‘Do not des-pair’).

Great place! Minimalist design, good ambient music, helpful staff. Very delicious food, This isn't Russian cuisine, or Scandinavian, or any kind of national cookery. The dishes have been created by the restauranteurs.

Occupying the historical building of a former B.C Electric Railway terminal, Centre A's gallery space is also located in one Vancouver's oldest and most diverse neighbourhoods-between Gastown and Chinatown. Focusing on their mandate to provide a platform for contemporary Asian Art, Centre A is a great space to explore and visit.

A great place to wander get lost and and escape the city.

You have a lot of hills to choose from in San Francisco but in my opinion the best (and most varied) views are from Bernal Hill. Bonus: from my kitchen table I can watch tiny blobs moving around on this hill-- slow blobs are people, fast blobs are dogs.
