The 'city guide' tag

 

break my map. go for it.

We say women purses are always a mess. I say mothers’ purses are even worse. So this is the perfect city map for the travelling mum. It’s not new but I finally got to see and touch one the other day in a shop in London, and loved it. The crumpled map, designed by Emanuele Pizzolorusso from Milan.

12 cities in total, from Amsterdam to Tokyo. Lightweight (20g per map!!), waterproof and virtually indestructible, they’re printed on a special technology material designed to be crumpled in the pocket or in a bag. Go ahead. Break it. As much as you want. Even put some ketchup on it. I don’t mind. Really.



 
 

playing around with two new travel apps

Feel like playing around with some new apps on travels? these 2 have recently come to the market. They’re both free, and they both approach the idea of travelling by theme, through social networking…Ah the power of social networks, the new word of mouth in pr, isn’t it?

Fancy surfing in Sydney? Yes I do. Shopping in New York? Oh yes I really do. Check out e-bookers Explorer, it’s for iPad and is a bit like a travel magazine where you scroll trough pages, and can also share photos, videos and more. A great little gadget for inspiration.

And there’s Amble for iPhone, which allows you to create your own ambles aka your unique tours to share with your friends. It’s tres chic as it’s been launched by Louis Vuitton. Sofia Coppola, Christy Turlington and Sarah Jessica Parker are all amblers. They’re all moms too. So if it’s good for them, must be good for us too…

 

From my perspective, they’re coming to the market 5 months too late..but that’s just me.



 
 

Aesop’s vision

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

This is a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American poet, philosopher and essayist from the 19th century.

Of all places, I read it today on a bottle of Body Wash from Australian brand Aesop.

And how often do you find an A to Z city guide on the website of a beautycare brand. I definitely like Aesop’s philosophy and sense of aesthetics. Check this out for their favorite addresses in London, Paris and Zurich.
