Ah, the lifestyles of the rich and the famous! The ladies and gentlemen of superstar-land that grace the pages of every magazine often seem typified by their beach bronzed bodies and shiny, sun-kissed hair. After all, if they’re not treading the red carpet as part of the day job, they’re accompanying truckloads of luggage through LAX and prancing on palm-fringed beaches in some exclusive, paradise hotspot. I guess it can’t …
I just got back from spending a little over a week in Shanghai, China, where I made a friend who told me about Photography of China – a website featuring interesting and beautiful bodies of photo work portraying China and Chinese culture. It was while browsing the site that I came across the remarkable work of French photographer Alain Delorme who, during a 44-day art residency in Shanghai, realised a …
Have you ever heard of Meshu? If you love travel, jewellery and unique momentos then it’s about time you did. Returning from travels is bound to leave you feeling a bit blue. The memories will last forever, but what happens if you want to have a visible (and pretty) reminder? Fancy wearing your travels on your sleeve?

You never forget your first time. Your first time on the London Underground.
Rude at rush hour, rowdy at night, reliably grumpy in the morning, using “The Tube” to navigate your way across London as either a resident or a visitor is a rite of passage.

in winter most walkways are ice-free due to intelligent piping
the country’s culinary specialty is rotten shark which instead of chewing is swallowed down with Brennivín (really strong alcohol)
the consumption of Coca Cola per capita is higher than in the US
knitting and partying compete for the title of „Most Popular …
When embarking on a long-haul flight and faced with the perspective of spending the next 10 hours stuck in the same tiny economy-class seat, most of us will attempt to combat boredom watching the latest releases, flipping through a magazine or listening to a few podcasts. The wild cats out there might even take advantage of the free airplane booze available to get heavily drunk and monologue incoherently to their …
Scratch planes, trains, buses and bikes – when it comes to my favorite mode of transportation on a trip it’s a car. Not just any car of course, but the one that will be a steady companion throughout your journey. I am talking about: the road trip.
Many of my fondest travel memories include epic road trips through Italy, down the California Coast, from the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas and …
Pho is a traditional Vietnamese dish that can be found all over Vietnam. Super cheap, authentic, fresh, healthy, everything you could ever want while backpacking! Coming from Melbourne and its fantastically diverse cuisine, I had tried the traditional noodle soup dish in the Vietnamese suburb of Richmond. I thought it was pretty good… but going to Vietnam and tasting it fresh at roadside cafes, it blew my mind: “Hi my …
Just like any other passionate photographer and part-time traveler I have asked myself this question several times: which camera to bring on my next trip? Should I go for the handy point-and-shoot camera that fits in my pocket or stick with my bulky and heavy DSLR which takes way better pictures. The ideal situation would we that you had both, but depending on your trip you might have to choose. …
