Instead of tearing down and building anew, architects have repurposed some older structures, leading to stunning beauty.
● Craft False Creek, VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Among the growing scenes of skyscrapers in Vancouver, this building stands out for both its history and architecture. In the 1930s, the Vancouver Salt Company’s processing plant was housed here. Today, the building is home to Craft Beer Market, which has kept many of the architectural elements of the original structure in place.
● El Ateneo Grand Splendid, BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
This beautiful bookshop has the distinction of starting its life as a theater. Teatro Gran Splendid opened its door in May 1919 and hosted a long list of performances before being turned into a cinema. The location was purchased and rebuilt as a bookstore in the early 2000s.
● Liberty Hotel, BOSTON
Located just steps from the Boston Common, the Liberty Hotel now lies at the former Charles Street Jail. Its 298 rooms and suites were inspired by the location, which last housed prisoners in 1990. The building’s fresh purpose was designed in cooperation with teams of preservationists and historians to ensure its past life was never forgotten.
● Dominicanen, MAASTRICHT, NETHERLANDS
Situated within a church that dates back to 1294, the former Dominicanen has a long history. It served as a Catholic church for hundreds of years before being changed to storage space for Napoleon Bonaparte’s army. In 2006 it was converted into a bookstore, maintaining much of its traditional artwork and architecture.

Everyone at Pacsafe is always eager to get out in the world and enjoy new cultures, food, and experiences. With that in mind we asked a few of our top travel bugs for their best travel destination recommendations for 2019. They also included their favorite Pacsafe bag to take on the trip. Enjoy and hopefully get some ideas for your own globe-trotting adventure.
Sri Lanka — Alison Hanko, Global Marketing Director
I’m going to Sri Lanka this summer holiday and can’t wait. It’s close to Hong Kong where I live and I’ve always wanted to go. The food is supposed to be amazing. It seems really relaxing and I really want to do the Kandy to Badulla train ride, which looks just stunning. We’ve booked a good mix of beaches, some time in a safari tent to hopefully see elephants in the wild.
For my bag, I’ll most likely take the Quiksilver 40L Pack because it has the built-in wet pack for my bikinis. It’s also a great size for a week-long trip in a warm climate.
Japan — Ben Barras, Creative Director
Japan is definitely my best travel destination recommendation. The culture, the streets, the architecture, the inspiration you get from all of that is amazing. The food is also fascinating. It’s where I’m most planning to go. Tokyo obviously, but also visiting the mountains. You can go snowboarding, which I haven’t done for years.
I have a Vibe 25L Backpack which you can pack a lot in. The thing I like most about it is that it’s compact, but still fits plenty in. I’ll pair that up with a larger travel bag for the rest of my things and use the backpack to get around day to day.
Berlin — Phil Hayes, Executive VP of Global Design
For me, it’s definitely Berlin. I’m particularly excited about the fashion, which I hear is pretty full on. Also the art galleries and history. Food, nightlife. Everything I’ve heard about Berlin is pretty cool, so I’m going to suck as much as I can out of it. World’s Global Style Network had the Berlin shopping list that came out recently, so I’m going to follow that through as well.
Bag wise, it will be the Quiksilver X Collab Bag. It’s the 25L Anti-theft Backpack. It’s normally my go-to bag for city trips because it’s super easy to lock on the plane and in bars, and it’s just the right amount of space.
【小题1】Which of the Pacsafe bag is a good choice for beach travel?A.The Vibe 25L Backpack. | B.The Quiksilver 40L Pack. |
C.The Quiksilver X Collab Bag. | D.25L Anti-theft Backpack. |
A.Berlin. | B.Japan. | C.Hong Kong. | D.Sri Lanka. |
A.Beautiful beaches. | B.Fascinating art. | C.Amazing food. | D.Cool snowboarding. |
