Auckland / Restaurant

The best place to get cheap Chinese food in Auckland.

Auckland / Attraction

A public garden that explores different garden themes through each section of the grounds.

Auckland / Place

My favourite place in Auckland. They set up telescopes in the courtyard on clear nights so you can see the planets and moon.

Auckland / Attraction

A Gannet Colony situated on the edge of cliffs right next to Muriwai Beach. If you're lucky you'll see a few Seals. It's a short drive out of Auckland but it's worth it to get away from the City.

Queenstown / Attraction

At the end of the season it freezes over and it's like a scene straight out of Interstellar

Auckland / Cafe

I’m at Coffee Pen in Eden Terrace at least twice a week. Yasuji and Fumi make the best coffee. All food is homemade and changes daily. Super chill and quiet place to work.

Auckland / Park

A nice park that's close to the city. If you go right to the end and walk down the stairs, there are a few extra places to explore.

Auckland / Bay

Small bay in the city. When the tide's out, you can walk right around to the rock pools.

Auckland / Beach

Favourite beach in summer. There's a long stretch of white sand with a camping site close to the water.

Auckland / Park

Best place for a run or walk. Great view of the city once you reach the top.

Auckland / Attraction

Donkey Sanctuary at Highland Garden Reserve in Algies Bay. All the Donkeys are super friendly and love food.

Queenstown / Spa

The most grammed place in Queenstown and a short drive from the city centre. The spa has a retractable roof that you can open and look out onto Arthur's Pass.

Queenstown / Hotel

Great place to stay in Queenstown also probably has the best restaurant in town.

Queenstown / Attraction

Super popular ski fields in Queenstown. We went at the end of the season but definitely worth visiting in the peak of Winter.

Seoul / River

Great for a long walk by the river with heaps of parks and exercise stops.

New York / Cafe

A good flat white is hard to find but this is one place in NYC that has coffee that tastes like it does back in New Zealand.

Tokyo / Cafe

A small cafe / restaurant in the heart of Aoyama. Does a really good homemade lemonade.

Tokyo / Shop

I want to buy everything in store. Super cute place that stocks great things.

Osaka / Cafe

Cute little coffee place we stumbled across in Osaka.

Amsterdam / Photographer

Simon Wald-Lasowski (Paris, 1980) is a freelance photographer and art director. He makes colorful, fun, twisted work by use of bricolage, word play and 'cliché bending'. Lighthearted at first sight, his images often reveal a certain depth on second inspection. His approach is always very personal, which blur the boundaries between autonomous and commissioned work. He lives in Amsterdam and graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2004 as a graphic designer. Occasionally he also works as a Wedding MC.

Athens / Graphic Designer

Filippos Fragkogiannis is a freelance graphic designer and art director, based in Athens. He holds an MA in Visual Communication, and a BA in Graphic Design from Vakalo College and the University of Derby. Having collaborated with acclaimed graphic and type designers, on April 16th 2019 he established his own practice. His research-based approach is rooted in semiotics, symbolism and the mechanics of visual language. His projects center around visual identities, posters, and print collateral, and he regularly enhances type foundries with bold imagery. In 2018, he founded Certain Magazine, an independent curatorial platform that chronicles contemporary graphic design and celebrates handpicked design projects from around the world.

Tobias Rechsteiner is a type and graphic designer travelling between Berlin and Basel. He co-founded prolog.work a digital design studio in Basel, designs typefaces for Grilli Type and is currently doing an Innovation & Management MBA in Berlin.
