One never knows what to expect when landing in a new country, especially when your trip starts long before sunrise (hello, fatigue), but judging from the initial planning stages, the bar had been set high. It was my first time in Porto and I needed central accommodation to easily make my way around throughout my […]
Forget about the factories turned lofts, the whimsical coffee shops and the stylish boutiques; in Williamsburg, street art is what all the rave is about. Those who know me well are aware that graffiti and industrial design are not my style; cool artwork, however, is. And after having lived for over two years in the […]
They say the weather changes in Chicago every two hours. I found it to be true a few weeks ago when I spent a few days there. The Windy City certainly lives up to its name, with sunshine and cloudy skies constantly negotiating, which should dance with the winds coming off Lake Michigan. What doesn’t […]
I’m not exactly sure why it took me so many years to finally visit the Tenement Museum, but after hearing about it on the Ahoy New York Food Tours I recently went on, I made it a goal to visit as soon as possible. Given I love history and culture through design and architecture, I […]

Daniela Kamiliotis is no stranger to the sensibilities and intricacies of the artistic realm. Having befriended the paint brush ever since she was five years old, she […]
Battery Park is one of my favorite places in New York to go for a walk. Although close to the new World Trade Center and Wall St, it bears little resemblance to the hustle and bustle of the career-driven financiers-filled streets. Once crossing the bridge into Battery Park, you are in a peaceful residential neighborhood, […]
