The Wynwood district of Miami is a paradise for street art enthusiasts, with its famous wall murals and vibrant surroundings. Despite the Wynwood Walls museum being closed, the neighborhood offers a plethora of colorful sights. The area is definitely worth a visit, even if it’s a bit sketchy, for capturing some beautiful and captivating paintwork.

Hitting Little Havana
We’re in the final stage of our Florida road trip now and have set ourselves up in a gorgeous little apartment in the Little Havana neighbourhood of Miami! Everything is bigger, brasher and more colourful here, whether it’s the resident reptiles or the incredibly large bottles of wine! I’m not wasting any time as IContinue reading “Hitting Little Havana”
Street Scenes
Back to roaming some of the less explored areas of Athens now and we’re planning on heading for the Central Market (Varvakios Agora) and the nearby neighbourhood of Little Asia. But as usual I get hugely sidetracked by the incredible amounts of street art to be found. From tiny stickers on lamp posts, to fullContinue reading “Street Scenes”
Camden town
Another visit to my favourite tourist spot back in August 2021 – Camden Town. Camden is a riot of colourful street art, hectic markets, tourist tat, drunks, street hustlers and all of life lived large. It’s a place I can revisit time and time again (and do!) because it is just so much fun. WhetherContinue reading “Camden town”
Bristol
Finally getting around to the last spot of our Southern Explorer way back in July 2021. We’re ending in the street art mecca of Bristol. Every wall is a colourful canvas with some surviving for years but others mere days before being tagged, amended or reworked. The harbour is a lovely place to sit andContinue reading “Bristol”
China town
Singapore’s Chinatown is known as Niu che shui which literally means ‘ox car water’ This is due to the fact that Chinatown’s water supply was principally transported by animal-driven carts in the 19th century. We’ve entered Chinatown via Pagoda street, a hectic, shop and restaurant lined thoroughfare. Pagoda street takes its name from the Sri MariammanContinue reading “China town”
Wall art
If like me you’re reduced to a snap happy frenzy at the sight of some colourful wall art then you’ll be in seventh heaven in Singapore. We stumbled across these spectacular examples in Little India and naturally I had to spend a while taking some snaps! These joy filled images are Kathaka by Didier MathieuContinue reading “Wall art”
Random Parisian streets
Some random street shots from our roams around Paris’s streets and parks. Above is The ‘Fontaine des quatre parties du Monde one of the many ornate fountains in the city. Le Bateau Ivre” (“The Drunken Boat”) is a 100-line verse-poem written in 1871 by Arthur Rimbaud. This is part of The Wall of Poems project thatContinue reading “Random Parisian streets”
Battered yet beautiful
Finally I’m getting around to documenting our first ever trip to Germany for the man’s birthday last November. We plumped for the hip capital city of Berlin for our first ever trip to Deutschland and a fab choice it was too. We stayed in the Ibis Mitte hotel, perfectly placed to explore the city withContinue reading “Battered yet beautiful”
Scintillating Sardinia
We’ve off on our third trip of 2017 now. To the stunning Italian island of Sardinia. Sardinia is one of those places that doesn’t seem to register very highly on people’s travel radars but is an absolute hidden gem. Over the next ten days we find majestic old cities, hidden coves and stunning beaches soContinue reading “Scintillating Sardinia”
