I often find myself torn between old and new. On the one hand, few things turn me on as much as reading about old things with a remarkable history. And at the very same time, I cannot describe how much I enjoy ripping the plastic off the latest Apple iPhone.…
In an art theft fit for a Sherlock Holmes story, five works of art—valued at €100 million and often described as priceless—were stolen from Paris Musée d’Art Moderne in 2010.
The thief, later nicknamed “the spider-man”, eluded security systems and dozing security guards.…
For some reason, South Africa’s biggest metropolis is often seen as a sort of changing post, a place to arrive only to move on from as soon as possible. Sure, it doesn’t have the beaches, the winelands, or the Cape’s famous mountain – but it makes up for it elsewhere.…
Naturally, no visit to South Africa is complete without circumnavigating the winelands. About an hour’s drive from Cape Town – and less than half an hour from Stellenbosch, South Africa’s oldest settlement and centre of its wine production – lies the small town of Franschhoek, which has the unlikely distinction of being one of the world’s gastronomic capitals.…
When most people go on vacation to South Africa, they go on safari. And when people go on a luxury safari to South Africa, most of them visit the area around Kruger National Park.
There many private reserves abutting Kruger, and some of these have multiple luxury safari camps within them.…
It’s difficult to overstate the case for visiting Cape Town, and this year the world seems to have realised. Our social media feeds have been filled with the in-your-face beauty of its nature, from craggy mountain ranges that drop precipitously into a glittering sea to the pristine white beaches lapped by the Atlantic.…
Daniel Arsham, without doubt one of our favourite artists, is unencumbered by the conventions of a particular place or period. In fact, the very essence of his work and his audience’s connection to it suggest that the lines of what constitute “proper” art and even time itself seem to bend around him.

As The Journal heads into a new year, hopefully one where the world comes to its senses and turns things around before it’s too late, we decided to have a little look at what we’re leaving behind us. Turns out 2016 wasn’t so bad, after all.

When it comes to European weekend escapes, Munich more often than not seems to fall off people’s radar. Perhaps it’s because (especially if you’re based in a place like Stockholm) travellers end up searching for more contrasting locations in terms of weather, culture and size.…
THE MALDIVES.
It’s a good thing there’s over a thousand islands in the Maldives, because it means the explosion of openings here this winter season will result in an excess of choice rather than of crowds. Kicking things off is the St Regis Vommuli in the southerly Dhaalu atoll, featuring beach and water villas layered in rich brass and bronze fittings and awash in aqueous tones of turquoise and ultramarine.…
Fly-fishing is all about finding perfect solitude. It is, first and foremost, a sport that allows you to turn off your brain and meditate on nothing more than a clean cast as you listen to the sound of water, trees and wildlife.
Gear Patrol has put together an amazing list of the ten best fly-fishing lodges in the world.…
For many of us, the basic human desire for knowledge, stimulation, understanding, pleasure and enlightenment is fed by our engagement with the arts. Did you know that art actually boosts productivity, lowers stress levels and increases overall well-being?…
We’ve covered Daniel Arsham in an earlier post here on The Journal and it’s safe to say that we’re massive fans. In more ways than one, he’s a superstar. He did stage design for and toured with Merce Cunningham, probably the most inventive figure in modern dance, he collaborated with Pharrell, and Public School tapped him to create their runway for Men’s Fashion Week.…
Going to California has, thankfully, become a yearly thing. For three years straight now, my careful springtime holiday planning has ended up with the same conclusion and the same destination.
Honestly, for someone based in Europe looking for a two week long excursion filled with different scenery, activities and vibes, few places compete with California.…
Evolved from a tiny Californian subculture, skateboarding has become a well-recognized and respected mainstream sport all over the world. With the growth of its commercial success and universal appeal, the boardsport is practically everywhere, giving off the message of individuality and freedom.…
Bowie is obviously known for many things, but one thing most don’t know know about him was his art collection which was kept almost entirely hidden from public view. This November, Sotheby’s will stage Bowie/Collector, a three-part sale encompassing some 400 items from the private collection of legendary musician David Bowie.…
Something we’re often guilty of here at The Journal is forgetting about all the great stuff that Asia has to offer. Sure, we’ve covered Tokyo and Seoul – but more often than not we look to places and cities like Paris, Berlin and London (and the French Riviera, of course).…
For another week, brave visitors will be able to walk from the Italian town of Sulzano to two tiny islands using a temporary pier made from 200,000 cubes of high-density polyethylene. The 53 foot wide fabric-covered path is tethered to the lake bed but has no guardrail – it’s just your feet, the water, and a gently undulating quilted sidewalk.…
As summer ascends upon us, pretty much everyone knows about the French Riviera and all that it has to offer this time of the year. The food, the weather, the lovely villages stretched across the coastline – and, of course, the five-star hotels.…
Versailles might normally be reserved for camera carrying tourists, but it has also become somewhat of a playground for acclaimed artists. For eight years now, it has in fact allowed artists to use its space to hold exhibitions with the intention of creating conversation between the work and the old (awesome) architecture. …
