The City of Helsinki creates quirky art project with artists who have never visited
The City of Helsinki wanted to deconstruct what makes the city intriguing for visitors in an innovative way: it tasked three “Helsinki Curious” artists with capturing the essence of the city in an original piece of artwork. The exceptional artistic process saw Aysha Tengiz (London), Jack Sachs (Berlin), and Takashi Nakamura (Tokyo) create an illustration based solely on the shared stories by previous visitors and by conducting interviews with … [Read more...]
Wicked Clean Fun At Noboribetsu’s “Hell”
Go to hell. The phrase has lost its power through overuse. Unless, perhaps the phase "go to hell" was intended not as a threat, but as a travel recommendation. I should have taken the two demon statues directly outside Japan's Noboribetsu station as a warning that the good times were indeed about to end. Instead, I was delighted. Clearly, the colorful demons were proof I was in the right place. I had made it to Hokkaido's Noboribetsu, … [Read more...]
Jens Notroff, Archaeologist, Illustrator, and Science Communicator
Q. When you were a toddler, your dad brought you to a museum where you fell in love immediately with the artifact display. You were 5 years old at the time, what really piqued your interest when you saw the display and made you aspire to become an archeologist from that point onwards? What do you think parents and teachers nowadays should do to help children develop a love for the pre-historical human culture? I still remember those … [Read more...]

French Bee’s new route from New York City to Paris is enticing budget travelers
It takes courage for an airline to start flying a new transatlantic route but that’s exactly what French bee has done. The Paris-based long-haul airline launched its flight between Newark Liberty International Airport and Paris-Orly on July 15.

A Visit to a Special Part of the World, The Tuomotos
We arrived at the tiny aerodrome on the island of Rangiroa in the Tuamotu archipelago of French Polynesia - marveling at the narrow air strip surrounded on both sides by aquamarine waters. Unlike all passengers we did not have any hotel reservations and we lingered around until all the passengers left and the steel gates began to close - completely locking down the small airport building. One guy walked up to us and asked us if we needed … [Read more...]

Hands-on Ecuadorian Artisans Are Hands-Down Amazing
Photo by Alice Bourget When I was around 10, I tagged along to my brother’s Boy Scout meeting, where one activity was making art projects. Given instruction, I sprayed a clothespin with glittery red paint and spelled my name out on the top bar with glued alphabet macaroni. That might be my highest artistic achievement, so perhaps I don’t have a credible basis to judge the quality of the crafts I’ve seen in Ecuador over the past month. But … [Read more...]
Impressions: Ulanbaatar, Mongolia
I landed in Ulanbaatar in the very early am. My pre-arranged ride was not waiting at airport so I found a taxi who promptly delivered me to my guest house, 20 mins to town w/o traffic. Two story guesthouse. I ended up on the second floor - frustrated because the inside door to the guesthouse was locked and it was 430am. Knocking over and over again resulted in no action from within. I began to prep a rudimentary sleeping arrangement in the … [Read more...]
