New York / Restaurant

Great Decor, Great Food, Good Fun.

New York / Restaurant

Extra Chinese Restaurant. Have the ChongQing Wings if you Dare.

Lahore / Restaurant

Adjacent to the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, The Coocos Den owned by Artist Iqbal Hussian is a delightful place to sample traditional dishes from the Punjab whilst being amidst the historically rich area of the Heera Mandi district of lahore.

Hong Kong / Bar

This is a really great intimate cocktail bar run by women who won't stand for anything they don't like. If you're too loud, they'll ask you to quieten down. The drinks here are as delicious as the decor, a former antiques store, furniture left in place adding to the speak easy vibe.

Hong Kong / Bar

Ace Bar, full of fun creative people.

Los Angeles / Restaurant

Fantastic food in a cozy, intimate restaurant - where you can sit at the bar and see the chefs expertly doing their culinary thing with style and ease.

Ahangama / Hotel

I stayed here in March 2019 and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The food at atmosphere here is amazing as is the decor and the fact it's right on the beach. If you like to surf - it's a great place to stay to do that - I went surfing every morning and sunset - just hired an inexpensive board and got on those waves - I'm a beginner and it had the perfect waves for my skills or lack thereof. The staff were so friendly and helpful - Literally can not wait to go back!!

Monopoli / Restaurant

Another exquisite restaurant in the old town of Monopoli. Beautiful food and lovely service. I had the prawn tartar and the squid ink pasta with tomatoes, mussels and aubergine - among other bits and it was all very delicious!!

Monopoli / Restaurant

This restaurant has a lot of great reviews and recommendations so we, a party of 9 gave it a try and it did not disappoint! Was very delicious, well prepared and fresh food. The veggie option, which I tried - was banging a tomato sorbet with burrata mousse and zucchini noodles - carpaccio was also next level as was the octopus. It was all so good. I would highly recommend you go if visiting the area.

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 ❤️🙏🏽❤️

Monopoli / Beach

A very lovely beach club. A lil' on the expensive side.... situated near a great part of the beach, nice loungers, washing facilities as well as excellent service - fresh and deliciously prepared food. They also have a surf/paddleboard centre which has a great instructor and equipment. (ask for Walter) On a week visit I came here twice. To surf when there was surf available and paddleboarding on a calmer sea. Also had lunch and drinks here and had a really great time!

New York / Film Director

Hong Kong / Artist

Photographer Mia Haggi is a seasoned global nomad, moving through countries with the ease of someone who, as a former model, changes outfits. Originally from Tallinn, Estonia, Mia attended art school to study fashion design and photography before pursuing a modelling career — a step that allowed her to traipse around the world and lead her back, eventually, to photography. Heavily inspired by dreams, darkness and fantasies, the photographer expertly weaves narratives into her imagery, getting close enough to her subjects to decrypt the intensity in their expressions and the vulnerability of their posture. Her unforgettable work leaves a lasting impression on her audience, leading to collaborations with brands like Nike, Adidas, Lulu Lemon, Lane Crawford and more, as well as numerous exhibitions and features worldwide. While it’s hard to pin down her exact location, her Instagram hints that she’s currently bouncing between Bangkok, Lisbon and Hong Kong … Words by Kala Barba-Court

Los Angeles / Film Director

Micaela McLucas is a filmmaker and artist based between Los Angeles, Paris and London. She studied at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne and completed her MFA in Contemporary Photography at Central Saint Martins in London. Raised between Argentina and LA, always on an airplane, always out of context. Three passports, four languages, learned every life lesson by getting kicked in the teeth, which is why her work hits the way it does. Her influences range from trash TV to French philosophy and cinema has always been the core obsession. Her work moves between fashion, theory and lived experience in ways that feel both precise and unruly. The world she builds is psychedelic, intimate and unapologetically feminine. She mines her own life for material and uses it to collapse fantasy and confession. Everything is neon soaked, surreal and intrusive, not to escape reality but to pierce it. She's currently writing and developing her first feature film while continuing her studio practice.

Amsterdam / Designer
