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

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

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?


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

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.

Chocolate Martini, a must in nyc, hard to find in little Montreal

Rare Device Brooklyn, last days: the shop was full, and so small. Now closed, new location in SF.


Lotta Jansdotter, Design Brooklyn: At the Design Brooklyn event, i found Lotta introducing herself to me while i was looking around - i did not expect her to be there and to be so available, i just could not find anything to say, shut off by suprise!

Orchids on streetcorner, Mother’s day: little glimpse of nature and fragility in the middle of busyness

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.
home
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!)
Walking dancing running in NYC
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.

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
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
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!
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.
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.
