behind closed doors - an obsession

Some artists have a 'default setting': something they end up drawing over and over through their lifetimes. It's an instinct when the mind goes blank, when doodling idly or when struggling with mental blocks. Some artists draw girls with long hair, strange creatures, spaceships. I draw doors.

Messy Nessy Chic

What we love: Nessy curates quirky travel miscellany from her cluttered Parisian apartment. Our eyes have been opened to Emilio Pucci's brief stint in airline fashion, the Tokyo subculture of '50s rockabilly gangs, and a Spanish population literally living under a rock.

Last seen: appreciating Burkina Faso's architectural designs, checking out the Japanese rockabilly scene.

Nessy travels for the nostalgia, always looking for places and corners of the world she could imagine herself living in a past or future life. 

travel for therapy

Many of us travel for therapy. But mostly we mean fun and fantasy escapades from our daily grind. Even when in pursuit of expansion and education. 

Visiting classic ruins of Europe or Asia may preach elegant and fascinating lessons of culture and history. What about visiting the ruins of a recent devastation - God, nature or man-made? 

Who among us would voluntarily spend time, effort and resources on a crash course in short-term error?
