(original article from Liberty Travel, where Megan covered London in a 4-part London series.) It’s been nearly four years since I first stepped foot in London, yet the city still feels like an old friend. Upon landing at Heathrow Airport after a sleepless red-eye from DC, I couldn’t wait to hop on the Tube and [...]

Travel Photographer Stephen Govel
This post is by David VanArsdale, one of our contributors. One of the frustrations of traveling is trying to explain your experience when you return home. It can seem like a hopeless task. Which is why Iʼm envious of our current artist of the week, photographer Stephen Govel. All he has to do is show [...]

Our featured artist this week resides in Brooklyn, New York and focuses on urban art, reflective of the area. Kathryn Klopp specializes in portraits, drawings and paintings using a variety of mediums and artistic techniques. Travel has been a constant influence on the young artist, having studied and lived in Cuba for a time. How/when [...]
Dominican Republic Artist Marlene Jorge
Marlene Jorge is our featured artist this week and a personal favorite of mine. I was introduced to Marlene about a year ago through a mutual friend who knows the painter from their days growing up in the Dominican Republic. After attending a small gallery reception for the now New Yorker, I fell in love [...]

Paris Underground Music Guide
This post is by Patrick Perlmutter, one of our contributors. There is no doubt that Paris is a city rich in culture, beauty, and art. It was the home to Voltaire, Molière, Hemingway and countless other artists, writers, and politicians that helped shape the country’s landscape and heritage. While these influences are still visible in [...]
Street Art in the East Village
A few weeks ago my videographer and I decided to take a little stroll through the East Village and profile a few streets with some pretty amazing street art. It’s safe to say that almost anywhere you wander in New York City, graffiti is not far behind. The outer boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens are [...]
Swedish Artist Martina Molin
After featuring Annika Connor a few weeks ago and learning about how travel has served as an inspiration in many of her paintings I decided to feature a different artist every week. Annika is to thank for our artist this week, Martina Molin, who also hails from Stockholm, Sweden. The two were recently reunited in [...]
Annika Connor: Artist and Manhattanite
It’s hard to find just the right word to describe Annika Connor. The young and vivacious Manhattanite also happens to be a renowned painter who has lived and traveled all over the globe. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia Connor can easily spend up to sixteen hours a day painting, adding to her extensive collection of pieces [...]
New York’s Top 5 For Under $5
This post is by Jessica Tiare Bowen, one of our contributors. When one thinks of New York City, a lot of things come to mind: Concrete Jungle, Skyscraper National Park, The Big Apple. “Cheap” would probably not make the list. New York is notorious for ridiculously priced cocktails and Broadway shows, which is why I [...]
Dropping Science: The Beastie Boys New York
This post is by Gilad Goren, one of our contributors. Very few names have come to be as synonymous with New York City as The Beastie Boys, that always-pioneering, never-tiring, always-fresh trio of rappers from the Big Apple. 32 years together as a group, 8 studio albums released, and millions of records sold; such figures cast [...]
Zlatica Hujbertová: Bohemian Mastermind
I first heard of Zlatica Hujbertová a few weeks ago when she featured her current collection at Slovak Fashion Night. Although several other talented designers showed that night, her “homeless chic” garb as I like to call it was beyond impressive. Here’s a little rundown on my new favorite designer. So how did Zlatica get [...]
