Walking around Toronto’s Kensington Market yesterday, we stopped in an awesome local shop called Good Egg. Though primarily a cookbook store, they did have a super cute travel section featuring some BEAUTIFUL guidebooks/travel related books.
Here are three of my favourite snaps – and books – from yesterday’s visit.
I’ve been back from Europe for about 4 days now (more detailed post with pics to come!) but am still feeling the jet lag. This could come in super handy. Where can I find one?!
There’s something about mountains that just makes me feel so small. A good reminder of how big this world we live in really is.
Love from the Alps x
Though it’s technically my third time visiting the city of light, this is the first time I’ve felt like I’m truly experiencing the culture of the city. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen all of the major touristy sights and this time can just be, or maybe it’s because we’re renting an apartment as opposed to hostelling, but one day in and I’m already noticing a difference.
Today’s pic is a little collage of some of the great stuff I saw today: our super cute airbnb apartment in Le Marais, a local resto we passed while exploring the city (that to me is exactly what a restaurant in Paris should look like) and part of a window display from an adorable shop where I bought an equally adorable ring.
A bientot!
IKEA and Marriott have partnered to create a chain of (in true IKEA fashion) reasonably-priced yet stylish hotels they’re calling Moxy. The first is set to launch in Milan.
Designs were released yesterday – what do you think?
One of the most creative Instagram accounts around.
I fell in love with Melbourne’s laneways when I was backpacking Australia two years ago – all sorts of cafes, independent shops and colourful people abound. I felt like I was in one of the most colourful and artistic places that existed.
One of the defining characteristics of these laneways is the street art that covers them. Check out this Lonely Planet video about the street art and some of the artists that create it. Next time I’m in Melbourne, I’m definitely taking this tour.
I saw this today and now TOTALLY want to go back to Brussels and stay here. I’m a little obsessed with Pantone in general (and super impressed with how they’ve turned themselves into a consumer brand over the past few years), so this basically looks like the best.place.ever.
Hey there and welcome to ROAM IS WHERE THE HEART IS. For years I’ve been meaning to start a travel blog, and I suppose today became the day that far away thought turned into a reality.
I don’t think I ever had the chance to evade the so-called travel bug. It bit me before I can remember – my first international voyage being a trip across the Atlantic at the not-so-ripe age of 8 months – and I’ve been living with its side effects (constant dreaming, planning, reading) for 28 years now. I guess there could be worse things.
A lot of what I’m passionate about outside of my travelling life is design related, so I’ll be marrying my two loves – expect a lot of travel with a design perspective.
There are just so many beautiful places in this awesome world to see, experience, taste, feel and smell. So let’s see where we end up.
