A Day in My Life:
What do you love most about Your City?
It’s a chaotic tangle of culture and raw life surrounded natural drama and beauty – the sea, the desert and the mountains.
Favorite breakfast meal & restaurant?
Avocado Toast at Heirloom Café in South Pasadena
What are you doing at:
6:00 AM – Dreaming
10:00 AM – Designing
12:00 PM – Favorite Lunch spot/meal?
Again, Heirloom Café I love it because it’s walkable and in addition to the Avocado Toast I enjoy for breakfast, there are so many other delicious dishes. I also just love the train commuter crowd – which is kind of exotic in a city of single driver car commuters.
7:00 PM – Family Dinner or an art/ceramics class at The Armory Arts Center (for some me-time)
11:00 PM – Thinking & drifting off to sleep
What drink do you need to get through the day and at the end (and how many)?
Chai or Cappuccino – depending on the day. 2 max.
Most used App/Favorite Instagram Account?
@fromwhereIdrone
@atelierazure
What should everyone try at least once?
Traveling without a companion. Desert safari on camel back. Flying over the sea.
Where do you enjoy getting lost?
Night markets in most countries.
