Amsterdam is a city that surprised me when I visited for the first time a few years ago. I have never had a certain desire to go and visit the Dutch city, but once I went there I sort of fell in love with Amsterdam. I loved the lively vibe, the young crowds, the cosmopolitan feeling and the canals, the beautiful, old architecture and the cool cafés, shops and restaurants. My last Amsterdam trip was a month ago to speak…

During my last visit to Zurich the weather was pretty damp and chilly. Unlike the hot and arid climate preferred by succulents. Yet it is in Zurich that one of the world’s largest succulent plant collection has settled sind 1931.

Despite all the other temptations offered by Zurich, I took a few hours to visit this extensive and…

Paris, Je suis Paris,

How do I start a blog post about a topic where I struggle to find words? Last Friday’s Paris attacks have left me speechless, motionless, sad, worried, angry. Paris is an important city in my life, I also call it a second home. Many people I love live there, people I care about and people I was worried about when I learned the dreadful news on Friday evening. Once I knew everyone was ok, I expected relief. But that moment of…

The next time you stop at a gas station to fuel your car, pause for a minute and try to imagine living at the gas station, better said in the gas station. Absurd, crazy, ridiculous? Think twice! Juerg Judin, one of Berlin’s most influential gallerists, has converted a 1950s gas station in the middle of the Berlin neighbourhood Schöneberg into his unconventional home and private exhibition space. This incredibly beautiful and unique home underlines the peculiarities of urban living –…
