    Although Fuerteventura is not known as a foodie destination, I know that good food can be discovered anywhere. I just had to dig a little bit deeper.

  • Favourite Moments from Fuerteventura

    The first thing that catches my eye is not the azure waters and white sandy beaches of Fuertevenura, but rather the arty typography tiles that adorn the front of each and every rustic island dwelling in front of dramatic landscapes. To be honest, just between you and me, I had my preconceptions about the Canary

  • 8 Places Worth Escaping to For Winter Sun

    I’m currently preparing for my upcoming trip to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands for some much needed vitamin D top-up this January.

  • New Yorker in Magical Prague

    “You know, I think you will love it. Prague is a beautiful city, you might not want to come back…” my friend’s voice was still playing in the back of my head as we landed at Prague’s Václav Havel Airport. I looked out from the window of my seat as the friendly cab driver picked us

  • Cruising Tenerife Islands

    Ever since I read the attention grabbing article “a massive tidal wave scheduled from Canary Island volcano” on the BBC (or the Beeb), I was fascinated with this interesting part of the world. After all, there was a little bit of self preservation interest at heart, as America’s East Coast will potentially be one of
