How Adriana Lima Heads To The Hamptons

Everyone’s always looking for a better way to get to the Hamptons.

Even supermodels.

So when we got word that the lovely Adriana Lima was boarding a V1 Jet Seaplane to Long Island for an autograph signing, we were intrigued. V1 Jets are known for flying passengers on the “dead legs,” or the unused trips back to their original departure point. Their newest offering, V1 Jets Seaplane, caters to the Hamptons set - making travel to East Hampton a breeze. You, along with seven passengers, depart from the Seaplane Port at 23rd Street and the F.D.R. Drive. Buckle up and in you’re in for an exhilarating forty-minute commute that lands in East Hampton Airport.

All for a mere $495 each way…

Adriana Lima not included.

Copenhagen: A local's view

Tim, 33, is a Canadian who moved to Copenhagen in 2000 to study at Copenhagen Business School. He has been working full-time in Copenhagen since 2004, currently as a journalist for a bank.

Tim moved to Copenhagen in 2000 and says the city has an enormous capacity to surprise.

CNN: Copenhagen was recently voted the world's best city to live in -- what's your opinion?

Tim: It's absolutely true! Of course, it's somewhat subjective. For somebody who puts a high value on surrounding themselves with friends and colleagues who generally have a very outward, international perspective, desires a high degree of organization in both their business and personal life, likes being close to the sea, prefers biking to driving, and perhaps has one or two children but still wants to live in the city, then the high ranking of Copenhagen makes perfect sense.

CNN: Is there anything you especially like or dislike about Copenhagen?

Tim: As a northern city, it's a bit too cold and cloudy for my preference and the city is a bit quiet during the first part of the week, which changes from Thursday onwards.

As for the positives, Copenhagen is generally a very liberal place, which reveals itself in interesting ways. It's not a politically correct city, which is a relief to me. I don't mind a bit of graffiti from time to time or hearing a bit of noise on the streets at night. I love that people can have noisy parties until very late into the night. People generally respect this freedom by not abusing it.
