Aesthetic Nomads - A Chronicle of Beauty Unveiled - Stories of Global Living

Careers in fashion and business permitted the Belgian couple Reinhilde Gielen and Hans Pauwels to travel the world, both professionally and privately.

There were years when their combined travel schedules meant spending over 200 days abroad, mostly alone, often staying every night in a different city at a different hotel. They were nomads who got glimpses of cities through the windows of taxis and hotel rooms. Time with people they met and admired was too short. So they compared notes and kept a list of places that they wanted to visit again and people that they wanted to get to know better. This book is about these places (95 cities all over the world) and their people. It's a visual chronicle of fragments that share one characteristic: beauty.

Their chronicle is about the valuable things in life. Reinhilde and Hans rarely travel because of a destination. They mostly travel because of a house—a distinct place where they can stay and truly discover the area within range of their temporary home. 

The result is an exceptional journey in more than 1100 images by Reinhilde and 49 texts by Hans introducing their extensive stays in Argyll - Athens - Beacon - Beijing - Berlin - Brussels - Buenos Aires - Bute - Cádiz - Cap Ferret - Cape Cod - Cappadocia - Carrara - Chandigarh - Cobá - Cortina d'Ampezzo - Cotswolds - Devon - Essaouira - Extremadura - Forte dei Marmi - Garzón - Granada - Havana - Ibiza - Izmir - José Ignacio - Joshua Tree - Kyoto - La Plata - Las Coloradas - Lido di Venezia - London - Los Angeles - Losinj - Maasai - Mara - Madrid - Mallorca - Marfa - Marrakech - Mérida - Miami - Milan - Montauk - Msambweni - Naoshima - New York - Nice - Palm Desert - Palm Springs - Paraty - Paris - Phnom Penh - Rio de Janeiro - Rome - Saint-Tropez - Salento - Salta - Salton Sea - São Paulo - Shanghai - Shelter Island - Shikoku - Shilimb - Sicily - Takamatsu - Temozón - The Hamptons - Tokyo - Trieste - Trinidad - Uxmal - Venice - Vientiane - Waulsort - Yorkshire
