California Dreaming

“Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here”

I truly enjoyed my relaxing and comfortable stay in LA few weeks ago. Everybody needs a break to relax and unwind. I’m starting to realise that one day off a week can really make a big difference to my mood and work performance. While traveling has become a big part of my work I’m thankful for the moments that I get to stand still and enjoy my surroundings. Think, enjoy and create – probably my new motto for this year. During the trip, a visit to Venice Beach was essential. It is unlike any place in Europe, well known for it’s art scene and street performances. It is a bizarre live street circus with funky atmosphere overlooking Malibu and the Santa Monica Mountains. The ultimate full-flavoured experience yet smooth and charming district if you stay away from the main square. As for the look, it was just made for summer partying! Palm trees, pina coladas and California dreaming…
