A Week of Learn­ing
Recently I spent an amaz­ing four days in Barcelona with 300 of the worlds lead­ing entre­pre­neurs attend­ing a learn­ing uni­ver­sity. The learn­ing events were fas­ci­nat­ing, and the com­pany stim­u­lat­ing to say the least. A quick Google of the speak­ers and fel­low busi­ness own­ers will pro­vide you a sense of the colour and cal­i­bre of the alumni, includ­ing; Nando Par­rado, Dr. Mario Alonso Puig, Joe Duran, Morten Lund, Alan Miltz, Car­los Muñoz, Conor Neill, and home grown entre­pre­neurs; Naomi Sim­son, Donna & Danny Guest, Chris Jacka, Melissa Bridge and Gary Rose.

A week of Inspi­ra­tion
Fol­low­ing the Uni­ver­sity I spent a few days in Paris, soaking-up the local colour and admir­ing the ele­gance and energy of this amaz­ing city. As with my pics from Barcelona, my hol­i­day snaps are a lit­tle unusual, tend­ing to focus on a more obscure per­spec­tive. For that rea­son I’ve col­lec­tively titled them ‘A Dif­fer­ent View of Paris’. There’s some­thing about Paris that com­bines the his­tory, ele­gance and sophis­ti­cated Euro­pean cul­ture with a brood­ing and artis­tic under­belly. These pics cap­ture for me the other side to the post­card shots usu­ally asso­ci­ated with the city of Paris.

Enjoy.

    I love look­ing out for and spot­ting these types of obscure objects/signs/messages when trav­el­ing (espe­cially in Europe and the US) – maybe I should think about doing a lit­tle more locally.

    Domma, It is funny how we tend to observe new cities with dif­fer­ent eyes com­pared to how we look at our own city.
