Adelaide

"A coffee place that represents Adelaide the most is called Exchange, in the heart of the East End. It really exemplifies the city in that you sit there outside having a coffee, and you'd run into at least 10 people you know — it's a small city, and everyone knows everyone."

"My local bar is a beautiful spot called Udaberri. It's a small bar, and I know everyone there now. So every second weekend my friends and I take a corner of the bar and become really loud. I just love it! It's like a taste of the Basque region in Spain and France, but it's more than that — the music is great and it's just a really nice vibe."

"There are a few places that are really good for connecting with a network of people: creative hubs based around crafts like painting, furniture, and design. One of them is called The Mill, which is just around the corner from my studio."

"If I wanted to go out to see a show, I'd go to Jive, a small independent venue. One of my first shows in Adelaide was there, and I supported RÜFÜS DU SOL. It was one of the first ever shows they did, and we had maybe 150 people in that room, but it was beautiful!"

"The Scenic Hotel is my favorite pub. It's nestled in the middle of the Adelaide Hills. It's absolutely beautiful, and the crew is very friendly. It's a warm, incredible place that I recommend anyone go to."
