Stockholm / Area

Great area on the shore of Kungsholmen in Stockholm, just a couple of stops from the city centre on the tube . Ideal for a swim or summer (or winter for that matter) barbecue with friends.

Bangkok / Department Store

The Big C in Saphan Khwai, has reasonable prices, and is well stocked. Even picked up some t-shirts and underwear!

New York / Park

This is a great park, from free concerts to summer to the Brooklyn flea markets over the weekend or take the ferry across the river. Rain or shine I never get sick of that view.

Lisbon / Shop

We found this beautiful store by accident while wandering around hilly Lisbon in the sunshine. A beautiful menagerie of vintage finds, curated designers, accessories and trinkets. Housed in a high-ceilinged, big windowed architectural treat. My perfect home (shop wise). I left with a Parisian summer dress in peacock tones, and a big smile. The staff were helpful and lovely, and coincidentally I had something in common with the gorgeous owner. We shared stories of graphic design and Leeds Art College—it really is a small world.

Amsterdam / Market

Open Monday mornings and Saturdays all day, there's always something to find at this market. Lots of vintage items, the most gorgeous florals, and fresh food for making an amazing dinner that night.

London / Cafe

A slice of Scandi in the heart of London. Great for lunch, with all the meatballs, salads and classic Scandi foods you could want, along with a great little deli shop too.

Saint Petersburg / Restaurant

Coolest place of the first 3 months of 2019. Best ramen in Saint-P. They also have petnat wines selection.

Clifton Hill / Architecture

If you find Quarries park and playground you have to keep walking, over the hill towards the creek and then down to the creek trail to find this secret place. It's a labyrinth made from blue stones and is maintained by a voluntary group of mystical new druids or something, for all to use. A great place to find and walk the path, focus your thoughts and clear your mind. Best when it is a frosty morning, like in this pic.

Kuta / Cafe

A great spot overlooking the beach. Super nice atmosphere, good music, pools, drinks.

New Delhi / Bookstore

Faqir Chand and Sons bookstore, located in Khan market in Delhi, is beloved and iconic. The book sorting system is like a secret recipe, only known to and mastered by the people that work there (who happen to be super nice).

Hamburg / Restaurant

in Hamburg it's a must to find THE "hamburger". I suggest this nice place, Heimat Küche is the restaurant of 25h Hotel. from its window you have s great view of the HafenCity area and teh Elbe river. After lunch you can enjoy an long digestive walk on the new pedestrian area where you can spot, among the others, the magnificent Elbphilharmonie, 10 year to complete the construction of this beautiful building and almost €800 of costs.

London / Cemetery

I grew up in the countryside, and if you're ever in need some instant escape from the city, this place is like a time warp. It's a huge space full of over grown mausoleums and graves, feels like a movie set. They also do tours.

Marc Philip van Kempen (1979) is a Dutch artist living in Amsterdam and Berlin. Much of his practice consists out of life-sized threedimensional reconstructions of media images that result in a kind of ‘spatial collage’. His work brings elements of photography, sculpture and new media together in unconventional ways, challenging the viewers perspective.

Taipei / Illustrator

Hsiao-Ron Cheng is a Taiwanese illustrator living in Taipei, Taiwan. She attended Taiwan University of Art from 2007-2010, receiving her BFA in Fine Art.
