It’s endearing watching Leigh Patterson and Michael A. Muller evade the question: what do you do? The insistent distillation regarding how they spend their time bores them, and their ennui from over-describing their work is clear. It’s easy to understand why. There’s an ineffability to their professional interests, and their projects resist easy classification. Leigh

Florida-born artist Sarah Newman grew up in a household that de-emphasized technology. “We didn’t have video games, cable television, or anything like that,” she says.

“We are all pilgrims who seek Italy,” wrote Goethe. His adventures may have happened over 200 years ago (1796, to be precise) but they still inspire many a German road tripper today. And we were no exception—after making our start from Berlin, several of the stops mentioned in The Italian Journey also became ours. Like

Now in the heart of Tuscany, our Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo camper van could be utilized to its full capacity. With the roof raised, beds made and kitchen safely stowed, we pulled up lakeside ready to camp before the teeming town of Sulzano on the edge of Iseo. The lake’s western tip, glistening in the sun

Yes, it’s the thing that’s kept you tied to a city – or a chair – for the majority of your waking life, but ironically the internet has been largely responsible for a surge in people opting for wild, adventurous escapes, natural living and the much-talked-about but never-done: “getting away from it all.” Hazy photographs

Summer is spent at their country home, just under an hour outside the city. In the winter, they’re drawn back to the bustle of Berlin. The two homes have a practical purpose as well – they allow the couple to change their own perspective on their world and work. As a product designer, Kathrin uses

Creative agent and stylist Julie Rouby lives among natural light and the sound of the soft purring of her cat Raoul in Paris’ le Marais district. Originally from the South of France, she evokes a sunny energy and, as she told us over an afternoon together, continues to put rosemary on everything she cooks. Once
