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.

Venice in Little Plates – Polpo, London
My last memory of Venice was an interesting one. A city constantly bombarded with the constant influx of tourists, so much that it became almost impossible to have an enjoyable dining experience unless you have local friends to take you around. Otherwise, you risk losing a limb dining out a-la-chance, being charged from sitting down to drinking tap
