While traveling, South African designer Katherine-Mary Pichulik enjoys being alone in transit, in the in-between spaces where she can disconnect.

Cape Town

"I really do appreciate Ouzeri. I feel like there's a modernity to that kind of Cypriot-style food. I also like the casual quality of being able to buy wine in a metal jug. The deep fried mussels are amazing."

"The Sea Point Promenade is an accessible piece of coastline that has never become privately owned. It's the right of all Capetonians to be able to walk there and bring their animals and have picnics. There's a definite quality of egalitarianism and community that happens on that promenade passage."

"ShangriLa is my Kundalini yoga studio. You just can't help but feel completely nourished when you go there. They give you a really gentle, soft yogi experience whilst you hear the bustle of the Cape Town city outside. They make the best homeground yogi tea that is just a must."

"Between Us is an elegant eatery within 100 meters from the Pichulik Atelier so we frequent it a lot. The food is very simple and clear with a lot of attention to flavors and technique. There is South African art on the walls, and the flowers are done by local florist Lush. I often bump into people I know in the Cape Town creative community there. It's a very special little spot."

"blank projects is a great gallery to pop into when you’re visiting Cape Town. It's a wonderful showcase of a strong stable of South African and African artists like Igshaan Adams and Jared Ginsburg. They've just got a nice agenda that’s diversified and quite progressive."
