+ BER > TLV
As the editor-in-chief of mb! by Mercedes-Benz delicately put it, “You sneaked out really quietly!” I’m not sure how “quiet” Weekend Club was, but the bleary eyed look wasn’t helping the hour long interrogation at the airport a few hours after tasting the 4am Alexanderplatz air as I waved farewell to my close friends. Nonetheless...
+ Mille Miglia, May 18
Dawn breaks in Roma and the Mercedes-Benz team gears up for the final and longest stretch all the way back to Brescia.

+ London Moments
The bloke at Border Control doesn’t like me much. The American passport is an instant failure. The immigration/visa stamps from Italy, France, Germany, Israel, South Korea…oh the frown deepens. “Please step this way Sir…” (…40 mins later…) There’s a “Welcome to London” sign just outside the Border Control exit at Gatwick Airport. The welcome team...
+ VOIX: Michael Sontag
His face pops up all over Berlin and the fashion mags have termed him as a rising star. But his fame isn’t due to Berlin languor.
