Travel for Inspiration


I took time out from creating our new product range Nelly and Giraffe to indulge in the other passion of mine travelling. What better way - when you don't have the time to actually go travelling - than to read National Geographic Traveller.

While I was away in the far reaches of the world with the great writers at National Geo, it gave me some great inspirational ideas for GBC (Gingerboxcompany) hopefully you will see these ideas coming to fruition very soon on the website. 

My favorite European City Paris, features and shows its true self. They write about the city in the way myself and my lovely lady view the City. "As an on-off relationship, rather than rushing into an impassioned and disappointing fling" This way we saw the things behind the scenes in our own time rather than being unable to cram everything. We have done it this way because we know we will be back again and again to sample her beauty. 

We not only love the City and all she has to offer, but the culture appeals, the Parisians have a charm, and the restaurants being many and amazing give great pleasure. The main and inspirational point is the architecture, The Eiffel, The Opera, the fantastic Parisian apartment buildings with small romantic shops, eateries and bars supporting them. It can't help but inspire creativity.

Its a great read for the above and much more. I love to escape around the world for worldly inspirations even when i'm unable to do it physically.
