Always bring something back...

No matter where you go or what country you visit, you should never come back empty handed. But for a real globe-trotter, bringing back a local souvenir goes beyond the traditional postcards and shot glasses. It is about bringing something that you will never find anywhere else, something that has a history, just something real. And even in the most touristic location, you can always find something that goes out of the ordinary if you take the time to look for it.

My best friend from home and I have always shared a passion for both travels and interior design. Putting together a decor that reminds me of my trips, while playing with objects and colors is one of my favorite hobby. In this picture alone, five countries are represented: the hookah is from Tunisia, the Buddha candle and the boxes from Indonesia, the painted fabric and the cushion are from India, the boomerang is from Australia and the mini drums are from Tasmania...

In the future, I would love to turn my interest for traveling and interior design into a business idea. I believe that many people sometimes bring souvenirs from their trips and do not always know how to best feature them in their decor.

I will try to provide some cool tips and links in this blog related to unique and exotic interior design, as well as interesting idea to pair colors.
