It is not until now, when we discover how crucial our choice of car is. (Practical and careful Finns, we rented a Jeep.) It has rained, a lot it seems, and […]

Tulum used to be known as an off-the-grid retreat favoured by the hippies. Huts and tents and hammocks were used for sleeping. Along came yoga classes, juice bars and […]

It is written by former New Yorkers, Eric Werner and Mya Henry, who left their jobs in New York in 2010, and moved to Tulum to realise their dream and set up their restaurant, Hartwood. Is this a sissy […]

There is a color named Mexican pink that is found in traditional clothing, crafts and fine art throughout the country. With a population of nearly nine million, Mexico City […]

I am happy we chose to begin our Mexico trip in Condesa DF although I had read some disappointed reviews about it being past its prime. Hotels age, there is nothing you can do about it. In […]

Born in 1902 to a family of Catholic aristocrats, Barragán is the most famous 20th century Mexican architect. Besides winning the Pritzker Prize in 1980, his personal home and studio in Mexico City were […]

Water, oxygen and movement is what your body cells above all long after. How we interpret our body’s messages of oxygen deficiency though, is often coming up with a need to eat something. You feel tired and begin craving something sugary… Plants produce oxygen and improve the quality of air. Trees and parks are […]

How a trench coat gets slimmer in a decade or, like it has, for the past years, become looser. Neutral colors now, have more depth and flavor than five years ago.

Watching a Chef’s Table documentary of a restaurant makes you curious to visit. The minute we had booked our stay in Mexico City, we made reservations at Enrique Olvera’s restaurant Pujol. Olvera has a restaurant in New York as well. We ate in Cosme last year, before knowing whose place it was, […]

I have wanted to visit for years now but I also believe in natural, effortless timing of things. Soon it is time. I also think that a great deal of the pleasure of traveling is in getting ready for it. Searching for restaurants and other places to visit, studying the weather forecast, […]
