A WEEK ABROAD
Role: Founder & Creative Director
A Week Abroad is a collection of travel books to live a week like a local. We meet up with artists, entrepreneurs, chefs, artisans or nature lovers who share their favourite local spots with you. Exceptional local products, tasty hidden restaurants, traditional crafts or natural treasures, discover the addresses that your friends from all around the world could have given you. Through our analog photographs, illustrations and interviews, we tell you their stories, stories of inspiring characters who embody the local culture. It is they who give the tempo, the scent, the taste and the character of a city or a region. A Week Abroad reinvents travel, by placing people center stage and promoting local economies.
