La Boca, the colourful neighbourhood in Buenos Aires 💃

In 1830, immigrants from Genoa Italy began settling in La Boca, and with not much money around they found creative ways to build themselves houses.

As they were close to the waterfront, they found scrap materials from the ship yards such as corrugated metal and wooden planks which they used to build the structures for their homes.

To make the neighbourhood feel brighter, they would take leftover paint from the ship building yards to paint the metal & wood, but there often wouldn’t be enough paint leftover to paint a whole house. So they painted each side of the house in different colours, making the whole neighbourhood a colourful patchwork!

Those are the houses we see today. Visitors head here to see the vibrant houses, lively music, tango dancers & street art.

The Minack Theatre in Porthcurno, Cornwall 🎭

A world famous theatre that is carved into the granite cliffs, overlooking the English Channel. The theatre puts on a variety of shows, from Shakespeare performances to musical talents.

But this spectacular venue didn’t start out as a theatre. Rowena Cade & her mother moved to Cornwall after the First World War and bought the Minack headland to build a home. Rowena did in fact build their home and a few years later she got involved in a local open-air theatre group…who were in need of a venue!

Rowena dedicated the rest of her life to building and carving the granite cliffs to form a stage for the actors and seats for the audience to sit. The majority of the theatre was built by hand, Rowena even carved the names of their plays into the stone seats.

Troyes 🇫🇷The capital town of Aube, France & the historical capital of Champagne. Is it worth the visit? Absolutely.

In the past, this beautiful town was not admired by all. Nowadays, the use of timber is seen as a luxury material but in the past, oak timber was cheap & often used by those who couldn't afford to build their homes in stone.

A consequence of this meant that in 1524 a huge fire broke out and 1000 houses were destroyed. Those that could afford to rebuild their homes in stone did so, however many homes were rebuilt in oak timber, the same material that went up in flames. Since this devestating event, the town has seen it's share of fires, most recently in 1985.

Troyes now has it's own heritage preservation society called the Sauveguard et Avenir de Troyes (Troyes Preservation and Future).
