The Art of Travel
I can’t put down this book right now. Highly recommended!

Naked as we came: Berlin's Liquidrome
I couldn’t see anything when I walked into the cloudy steamed filled room but the lower halves of white nude bodies.
The room was small, probably about five feet wide and it was heated up but mostly it felt like if you were to step into a cloud that was just about to spill from being too full of water. I sat down next to the glass paned door because I couldn’t see further down the little room and...

some words on paris.
I.
Paris is this magical feeling.
Maybe that is cliche, but I do not care. When our orange, ever so gaudy easyJet plane touched down in Orly, my heart exploded and dissolved into a million poorly accented “Bonjour’s” and “Oui’s” and “S’il vous plait’s” and I could not stop smiling. We weren’t even in the heart of Paris yet but everything got lighter instantly and something about the air in...
