This is my favorite place to go to – to escape the city quick – in nature. I love the Braem Pavillion a lot – built by Antwerp architect Renaat Braem in 1969.

Stroll in this beautiful park while visiting an outdoors museum.

One of the first places I felt at home when moving to Toronto. Imagine a living room transformed into a wonderful Vietnamese inspired (snack)bar. Great food and beverages that get you very, very drunk.

The Robbrecht & Daem pavilion is one of my favorite spots in this beautiful sculpture park. Mandatory weekend escape.

This sight reminds me of the beginning of Antonioni's L'Avventura. In other words: again a confrontation with the majesty of nature. While standing here, I realize that water has no foundation to build on. I am overwhelmed: as human beings, we are forced to live our lives in uncertainty while facing the horizon of death.
