Cities, kept in
the margin of a notebook.

Situated on the Rhine where Switzerland, France, and Germany meet, Basel is a vibrant cultural capital with a thriving international art scene.

Berlin is larger than it feels. Most days unfold between Mitte, Charlottenburg, Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg.

Walk Palermo Viejo in the late afternoon.

There is something about its sea, its beaches, its simplicity that settles me. I feel at peace here.

The best tables sit everywhere between a private members' room and an old hotel bar.

Leave room in the day for detours.

I always leave already planning the next visit.

Swim early, linger over lunch, stay out later than planned.

I like New York best downtown, with occasional uptown rituals.

Pair Oaxaca City with a few days on the coast around Puerto Escondido and Casa Wabi.

The rooftops are also a museum.
