Go Backpacking

Yesterday I discovered the Round the World blog by Dave, which is very inspiring. He is writing nearly every single day… currently from India. I like his reflections on life and traveling. And he offers very useful information on how to plan a trip carefully, no matter if you will travel for 1 month or for several years.

Hello from New York

Union Square Fashion
The thing i most love about NYC is the freedom of choice when its about fashion - wear your favorite head-to-toe-rainbow-jumpsuit and no one’s gonna mind. One thing i least love about NYC is all the fashionata slaves women - they abound everywhere.

This is just a part of an absolutely amazing piece by this Quebec born artist, to see at www.andrearosengallery

Trying new glasses
Eyewear Shopping: I bought some, not the ones you see me here with… but i still love these, that is why i took a picture. What do you think?

Most lovable & affordable fashion shop

i totally felt in love with Agatha Ruiz’s clothes - colorful, lovable, reality sizes available, and affordable. NY Soho, wooster street

Time to be
What i most totally enjoyed in this trip is the time i spent alone in my favorite coffee places. After spending 3 trips running around in the city, i felt it was time just to have this trip to enjoy the places i like, and discover a few new ones.

Me @ Moma: The moma is, the moma. Top floor exhibition is a must, the cafe is also a must, and the moma shop is absolutely and completely over priced.

A week without the internet and phone was great - but there is a lot to catch on now. I’ll be back with pictures and thoughts about this last week in NYC, this as soon as can have my suitcase unloaded, and the cats sleeping (they missed us so, they stick to us like glue!)

We’re about to head to New York City, once more. At this time of the year, the city is a must. Of course, it is nothing like the nature and stillness i crave for, but a vibrant on-the-go city like New York has a unique energy which i always feel compelled to be part of.

I’ve got to travel a little after this long winter, be on the go for adventures, this to feel myself alive again, see-hear-feel new things, get a little sense of newness and freedom, so bear with me while i’ll be visiting Rare Device Brooklyn shop (just before it closes), PictureBox, some of the best Gluten free and vegan restaurants (Babycakes), some rare venues such as MonkeyTownHQ where we’ll see a live performance via skype while enjoying our meal, Etsy labs, Marimekko store, art galleries, museums, parties and so on. No schedule, just us and the city.

Conscious travelling

If you are about to plan your next holidays in Central and South America, it’s a must to have a look at Whole Travel, who’s mission is:

To provide the best travel opportunities to unique and authentic destinations that preserve the environment, support local cultures and promote sustainable lifestyles.

This sounds promising - take a look at their sustainable tour search engine.

Here’s my secret to find the best flight tickets. Get on the ITA software itinerary - be curious and try it out, find the flight that suits you best in time and price, then contact the airline to book your ticket, all by yourself!

Places: Canada

On aime les voyages, et les voyageurs - ceux qui partagent avec nous sur le web leurs aventures, et paysages d’autres lieux. Voici Alex, version couleur azur, qui partage sur flickr son voyage à travers le Canada. Pour vous éveiller en ce lundi unpeu gris.

Places: Copenhague


Hotel Fox, Copenhague

These are pictures from the uber trendy Copenhague Hotel Fox - I’d try the room left on the picture :)

The love of mountains, a family affair

Chris always wants to go higher - if we see a mountain, he’ll first think of climbing it. These are stunning pictures of his mom, Christine, obviously still on top of things. I, from what i saw in our summer holidays in Corsica, i’m not (yet) a mountain type of person - being high in the sky left me feel uber sick most of the time, not able to enjoy the view over the mountains top. Hope these will make you travel, safe from your computer seat!




Be back home

Welcome back home

Apart from the huge amount of snow waiting for us at home, this plant bloomed better than ever while we were away. What a suprise to discover it on my desk the night we came back!

Berlin's coffees

This one breaks my heart - i so miss the apfelstrudel - i think we almost ate one a day during our stay.

One of my favorite coffee in berlin, Einstein - will for sure be part of my next book which will be about my best of Berlin.

Lulu's delivery Lulu's delivery

One of my favorite berlin’s find, the work of Juju’s delivery - absolutely touching.

In all, very happy to be back home after a wonderful time spent in Europe.
