Sacred Heart Cathedral Delhi – History

Construction of the Sacred Heart Cathedral Delhi started in 1930. Father Luke initiated the Church and laid the foundation stone for the church. Designed by a British architect named Henry Medd, the Cathedral in Delhi flaunts the influence of Italian architecture.

The interiors of the Sacred Heart Cathedral Delhi will certainly remind you of Roman influence and the Italian architecture. I was awed by the architecture, as it’s least expected when I have been to a few in Europe.

Is Azerbaijan Safe to Visit?

Image
Posted : Azerbaijan is one of those emerging destinations that tourists are finally starting to discover. Until 1991, it was part of the Soviet Union, and ever since it became independent, travelers have increasingly started to visit this lesser-known country. The number of foreign visitors has nearly tripled in the last decade, to almost three million in 2018.

LRNCE Studio Marrakech I love a good expat success story and LRNCE is no exception. Belgian artist Laurence Leenaert moved to Marrakech to start her fashion and textiles company back in 2013. She now operates out of the LRNCE Studio in the suburbs of Marrakech. I stopped by the studio to see the collection in real life, meet Laurence and of course make a few purchases to take home!

Despite her European roots, Laurence has made a name for herself in Marrakech. Today LRNCE has amassed a fanbase on Instagram and been featured in countless design magazines like Elle, Vogue and Architectural Digest. But for the artist herself, quality continues to trump quantity. Despite the rise in demand, Laurence paints every piece herself to this day. In...
