City Guides

Take a crafty tour of the cities and hometowns of our members to discover their favorite shops, restaurants and inspiring hang-outs

Bath, England, GB •

I would say the best thing about Bath is the architecture. The centre of Bath consists of lovely Georgian buildings and it's known for it's Royal Crescent and The Circus. There are also lots of quaint and individual little shops. Bath is surrounded by hills and the lovely architecture can be viewed from the top of these.



Las Vegas, Nevada, USA •

The best thing about living in Las Vegas is that there's always something going on somewhere, any time, any day! Plus, it's usually super-cheap to fly out here, so all my friends and family get to enjoy my city!



Kiev, Ukraine •

If a person who lives in New-York, will come to Kyiv (or Kiev) first thing they'll notice - a small number of skyscrapers. And that's true. Kyiv has only a few of them. Whereas there are dozens of houses built in 1950-th or even in 1920-th! If you take a stroll along Kiev streets, you'll definitely find them, especially if you deviate from the centre of the city. Kiev has lots of parks. Some of them are enormous!!! For example, Golosiivkiy Park is 140 hectares! So be sure that you'll always find a place to jog, chill out with a book, and have a picnic with your friends or sit & craft (you'll soon read some of the best). That's why I love my city. You'll always find a cozy place to do stuff or to hang around.



Berlin, Germany •

Berlin is full of strange and colorful people, artists, musicians... it never gets boring. I love about Berlin that you can do/eat/get anything you could possibly think of at any time of the day. Eat in a fancy restaurant at 4:00 in the morning. Go scuba diving. Visit a flea market today. And another tomorrow. And another the day after. It’s totally different from the village, where I grew up - and I love it.



Saint Petersburg, Russia •

I love Saint Petersburg and not only because it's my native city. It's very beautiful and has a very rich history despite being built in 1703. There are also many interesting and unordinary places, different art projects and modern art galleries. Local people always call the city just Piter. So, don't be surprised if you see that name.



Leeds, England, GB •

I live just a short train ride away from Leeds so the best thing about Leeds is the diversity. It’s the best cure for whenever I’m feeling homesick as I grew up in London. I love the diversity in culture styles and shops if I want to buy something a bit retro or keep up with this seasons fashion then you’re sorted.



Sao Paulo, Brazil •

The best thing about living in São Paulo is that you can find the whole world in just one city. A mix of cultures, art and energy, you'll find everything in São Paulo!



Brugge, Belgium •

There are two things that make Brugge a great city to live in. First of all it’s quite easy because everything is so near. There are lots of special little shops, but also the typical shopping mall stores like H & M, New Look and Zara. Though I myself lately prefer to visit the smaller and not-so-well-known shops ;) Second, Bruges has some wonderful parks and quite a lot of nature in comparison to other cities, like Antwerp for example.



Butte, Montana, USA •

The best thing about living in Butte is we have art, history, beautiful architecture, and some of the best people around!



Nashville, Tennessee, USA •

Nashville and East Nashville have all the amenities of a big city (food trucks, skyscrapers, mild winters and long falls and springs, urbane lifestyle with coffee shops and a whole lot of bbq if you dig that sorta thing- but also some of the best vegetarian fare in the nation) with a small hometown personality. Plus Predators NHL! Hey we even have a football team I hear?
