Staying at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of staying at the Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore. Completed in 2010, it is the world’s most expensive casino featuring 2500 rooms, celebrity chef restaurants, ice skating rink and of course the famous infinity pool at the top.
Art Nouveau in Ålesund
Even though nowhere near as remote as Tromsø or Svalbard, it still feels like I’ve reached the very end of Norway. Why someone chose to build a town out here in the rugged island semi-archipelago is a mystery to me.

Yet another year at Way Out West 2015
Time for yet another visit to Way Out West, the annual outdoor city festival in Gothenburg. At first the lineup seemed a bit sparse, but it actually turned out to be great.

Chilling at the Perhentian islands
After experiencing the noisy streets in Kuala Lumpur for a while, these islands feels like a daytime dream. Epic palm trees and crystal clear water frames a picture so perfect it looks like a computer rendering.
Urban chaos in Kuala Lumpur
The streets of Kuala Lumpur feels like a perfect storm. The heat is unbearable, the traffic unforgiving and the pace is relentless.
One night in Copenhagen
There are some towns that tend to feel like your own backyard. You know the place inside and out, but every time you look there is something new that has popped up, joining the familiar.
