New York / Theatre

Every seat is a good seat in this small, intimate theater dedicated to dance. Nearly every dance company has filtered through the theater and with a season that lasts about 45 weeks, there's always a performance to see and tickets are very reasonably priced. I prefer a performance at The Joyce then at Lincoln Center any day.

Daugavpils / Place

I adore this surreal place, empty landscape with artificial sand dunes.

Paris / Art

Among numerous art galleries in Paris, this one is seriously worth visiting. Very inspiring place with lots of great exhibitions. Yes, too much coolness and beauty in Marais can make you dizzy, but we like it, don't we?

Verona / Music Venue

Best concerts and music events around Verona. Two small associations join forces to bring national and international musicians in the city.

Kyoto / kiosk

This is a local liquor store that has been here since before I was born, offering not only alcohol but also rice, tobacco, and other daily necessities. The owner, who is always there in the mornings and afternoons, is a very friendly and wonderful person. You can buy and drink inside the store, and smoking is allowed as well. I often see people gathering to enjoy a drink, smoke, and have casual conversations with the owner. This kind of super-local, cozy atmosphere is one of my favorite things about the place.

London / Club

This is a very quiet Polish Club, which acts in sharp contrast with busy Exhibition Road.

Rio de Janeiro / Art

Instituto Moreira Salles is a beautiful house surrounded by a nice garden in Gavea neighborhood. It holds exhibitions dedicated to pieces from its collections (about photography, cinema, music and iconography).

London / Cafe

Leila McAlister's grocery shop and café off Arnold Circus, Shoreditch. You can find the best of everything, from jars of horseradish to eggs and croissants.

London / Park

A spot that I've gone to time and time again for shoots for it's amazing architecture and greenery. Place image not by me

Paris / Music Venue

Cool place, good music !

Madrid / Hotel

This is a fabulous Hotel called Silken Puerta América, where each floor is designed by a different architect. It is open for public visiting. This year the Hotel was hosting the art fair Just Madrid and I was totally amazed by the first floor design of my favorite architect Zaha Hadid.

Mexico City / Event

Passion of Christ in Iztapalapa. Iztapalapa, is the most populous of Mexico City's 16 boroughs, an urban sprawl on the eastern edge of Mexico City, home to nearly two million people and one of the city's lowest-income areas. Every year a huge numbers of additional visitors, an estimated 2-4 million spectators gather to watch the annual Passion of the Christ procession. The area has been plagued by high crime rates and instances of domestic violence for years therefore, the prestige and scale of the Passion procession are a much-needed source of honour for a community that is so often portrayed negatively in the news.
