I first began dabbling in photography about 8 years ago, as a hobby and a way to tap into something creative and artistic. After graduating from some basic bridge cameras, I eventually decided to commit to a Canon DSLR. At the time, an entry-level DSLR with lenses, etc. was still relatively expensive and as photography was just a hobby it wasn't an easily justifiable expense, but in retrospect, it was one of the best purchases that I ever made.
I probably should be the last person to should talk about Brach Hotel, as I only spent one hour in their restaurant for breakfast, but I think it’s more than enough to get a feel for the atmosphere and to absorb this chic Parisian experience.
If you are in Paris these days, you will notice a slightly different vibe in the air. Influencers, editors, models have taken the streets of Paris and are presenting the latest trends in the most creative ways. If you're here for the shows or to people watch, there are a few places in the city to go during these busy Fashion Week days and enjoy breakfast or lunch.
THIS WEEK’S PHOTOGRAPHIC inspiration is every bit as fantastical as that of Karen Knorr‘s, especially the glimpses into the British Ambassador’s residence...
When we first moved to Spain three years ago, one of the only things that we lamented was that around the holiday season, the city just didn't seem very festive. There was the usual carousel and a few smaller decorated trees here and there, but over all, the shops and streets never really got into the holiday spirit like they do in the UK.
Whether you are digital nomad looking to set up a new home base in Lisbon for the next 6 months, a boomer looking for the perfect retirement spot in Italy, or a millennial dreaming of a European adventure, you will need to research the feasibility of your move. Finding quality accommodation within your budget will be one of the most challenging aspects of your move.
YES, I KNOW, the holidays are over, and we (sadly) took down the tree yesterday and all the lights, but there are still so many beautiful photos we took in the past month that just didn’t think it would be right not to share them.
