I don’t know about you, but when I travel, I like finding places that pleasantly surprised me; those places that you can’t find in any travel guide. Sometimes I get to know about this places because of recommendations of a friend who has been there or maybe a local in that city who told me about it, in any case, it is always pleasant to wind up in a place that isn’t surrounded by tourists making pictures like crazy. Being a big fan of street art around the world, I’m always eager to discover the most incredible works of art on walls and ceilings, which is something that a lot of people like checking when looking for a new destination to visit. From Banksy to totally unknown names, we’ll find art on the streets, because lots of it isn’t located in museums. What is it? If you like street art, you´ll love this app of the month.

If there is one trend in gastronomy that emerged in recent years, it is without a doubt local food.

Not ever before have TV cooking shows, cook books and food fairs boomed as much as they do now. Photo via NatalieMaynor This all leads me to ask: have chefs emerged into the new rock stars? There are many parallels if you take a look into both scenes. In music just as in food small independent operators are preferred over big corporate. Authentic, selective and traditional vs. manufactured, artificial, mass The new “in-crowd” doesn’t just have the scoop on the best clubs or bars in the scene. You are definitely one of the cool kids if you know great places to eat that share the philosophy of natural products and local production. The skepticism over mass production of food and the keeping of animals continues to grow and people start asking questions about production methods, origins and ethical values. If music and food are closely connected, the link between travel and food is even closer. People travel to exotic places and partly get to know the culture with their taste buds. Whether it is a recipe that you saw on your favorite cooking show on TV, an ingredient that you picked up at the local farmer’s market or maybe a...
