Mojitos are good. And I already told you about my personal favourite Mojito bar in Barcelona. But: I recently came across a very cool tumblr blog which judges Mojitos all around that wonderful city. Mojitos en Barcelona contuinously adds more and more bars and their Mojitos, including a five star rating system, the price and address. Salut!

If you are not a mojito lover, but you like spanish fries, there is …

While having a monthly visit on my favourite DIY blog “Oustapop” I came across this great concept in Paris. In March 2010 Martena Duss and Sissi Holleis opened the fashion version of the internet café, the “café couture” called “Sweat Shop”.

Originally she studied journalism and political sciences, but she currently works exclusively as a photographer. She runs a blog and a website.

Road Junky also hosts exhibitions, workshops on photography, writing on the road, making and editing …
