Chicago / Cafe

Coziest Cafe on the south side

Ottawa / Bar

With age, I’ve been more reluctant to engage in the cyclical social gymnastics of a high-octane evening. Just give me a pint and a pinball machine and I’ll be a content little monk, cussing at gravity and the wiles of analog engineering. Aside from triggering rebellious teenage memories, the Orange Monkey pool hall is also situated in one of the rare industrial complexes in the city.

New York / Bookstore

Books are Magic is a great local spot for bookworms. The staff is warm and friendly with regular events happening monthly.

Amsterdam / Museum

Fotomomuseum housed in two monumental 17th century canal houses.

Barcelona / Shop

An small and cute perfumery store placed in the Raval that I discovered some weeks ago. The space design is a mix of traditional materials and a contemporary sense of the space and is full of numerous things that smell crazy. I bought one cake of soap from a portugese label called Claus Porto. Now my bathroom smells like a country of savage water lilies and I'm looking forward to wash my hands all the time.

Copenhagen / Restaurant

Super easy, healthy and affordable lunch and dinner takeaway. As a tourist in Copenhagen it is a nightmare to find affordable food. The popular downtown areas are flooded with crap food tourist traps and it's hard to navigate through the bullshit. Smag means "taste" in Danish and their ryebread sandwich with salmon, green pea puree and peanuts is a treat.

Brussels / Restaurant

Natural wines and small plates to share. Wine shop next door (Jane).

Brussels / Work Space

My studio ! Feel free to pass by.

London / Park

There are many great parks in London to choose from, but Hampstead Heath is by far my favourite; a lido, Parliament Hill with a great view of the city, ponds, woods and plenty of space. It’s a great place to hang out in the summer, but also presents a lovely walk in the winter. Address: (As it’s so big obviously it doesn’t really have a specific address but there are 2 main entrances) Entrances by Gospel Oak or Hampstead Heath Entrance.

Los Angeles / Nature

This is a great place to walk around. It really feels like a mini Lake Shasta or something tucked right up in the Hollywood Hills. Ornate statues on the bridge and sweet smelling trees. If you squint you almost feel like you're not in the middle of a massive city.

Brussels / Bar

The nano brewery L'Ermitage opened this small bar, and this is the place to taste amazing beers brewed in small batch. The beer menu is updated on a regular basis, from handcrafted pils to surprising locally brewed IPAs, they're all served by the tap by a friendly staff. Homemade pizzas made from the unused grain are also highly recommended!

Paris / Bar

I'm in love with this place !
