Greetings from Geneva. Below is a collection of my recent favorite finds in the blogosphere and beyond. I’m hoping to make this a regular feature on my site. Now excuse me while I dodge rain drops and eat Toblerone for breakfast.
- A vibrant, engaging rundown of the “coolest hood” in Cartagena (Getsemani), by Rainbow Nelson, founder of This Is Cartagena. I highly recommend This Is Cartagena for anything you need to know about visiting this magical city. This virtual guide book is chock-full of amazing historical facts, recommendations on where to eat and stay, and stunning photos. I desperately hope they start expanding to cover other cities in South America (and hire me, cough cough).
- Thirdeyemom explores stunning Antigua, Guatemala.
- I heart Φωτογραφία, thank you for sparking memories of Thessaloniki.
- Check out these animated/manipulated archival photos from fluxmachine. Be patient, hold your gaze, and prepare to be creeped out in a very good way.
- I adore vampires, especially adorable animated ones like in this five-second video by Antonio Silva.
- “One man, 100,000 toothpicks, and 35 years.” Need I say more?
- Incredible interactive art installation by Yayoi Kusama. Now that is what I call eye candy.
- Rafael Nadal, Cristiano Ronaldo, and some hot pink shoes. Ok, scratch the comment above; this is eye candy.
- Currently reading: Love in the Time of Cholera, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- Currently listening: “Ho Hey” by The Lumineers
“And love, we need it now
Let’s hope for some
Cause oh, we’re bleeding out”
Ooh, Yayoi Kusama has inspired some decorating ideas for my new apartment… though I’m not sure that my landlord would appreciate it quite as much. 😉
I love the way your blog is expanding. Thanks for the lovely dose of sunshine!
Plus you’d need about a thousand hands to help you (or a few years of your life)! 🙂
Currently reading: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley :)) Geneva is new to me and i hope to visit it someday, 🙂
Very interesting choice! I’ve never read the original, shamefully. Thanks for commenting.
Meghan! Thanks for featuring my Thessaloniki set on Flickr! Glad you enjoyed it!
My pleasure, I love your photos!
Can I just say that I heart φωτογραφία is not only a really inspiring writer, photographer and curator of digital content, but also a phenomenal human being? I met her in person in Thessaloniki, appropriately, and hang out with her right before flying to my reunion with Elijah and these have been some of the highlights of spring so far for me! The world is small and beautiful.
T-16 hours till you’re here and we can hug! (there’s a twinunion countdown clock. Sadly, twclock is not a word…)
Can we arrange a triple date? I want to meet her too!

Your city is lovely, albeit cold at the moment! I’m glad you enjoyed the Cartagena links. I can’t wait to go back there some day soon.

Oh cool you are in Geneva! Thanks so much for the recommendation! I also look forward to checking out some of these other blogs! I love Switzerland!!! 🙂
Yes, Geneva is a huge change from my last home, but I’m liking it so far! Any time there are macarons around me, I am a happy woman. And I’m happy to pass along a link to your site, I’ve been loving all the Guatemala posts!
