With summer hot on our heels it’s time to shape up and shake off our winter blues. The promise of hazy, warm days is just around the corner with thanks to our longer and lighter evenings, so a dash for the must-have summer accessories is on! As we reach for our ripped jeans and Havaianas...

Hello from Iceland! This is my third trip here and I’m out in the sticks. A beautifully situated mini cabin with a mountain on one side and a bay on the other. The scenery here is truly spectacular, I could be a happy hermit here, occasionally scuttling out for supplies but mostly either frolicking around...

As summer is approaching and bikini season is just around corner, it is of utmost importance that us girls have out bikinis all sorted and ready for our summer getaways. Buying bikinis early means that we avoid the mad rush come the end of June to find that all of the nicest ones have gone....

There’s a fantasy I have, which I think I share with many, that one day I’ll win the lottery and be freed from any obligation to build a stable life for myself. It would be like cutting the string that holds me down, floating up and off to freedom. I am twenty-three years old and back...

Madrid is a city that has the perfect balance of a city life, but manages to keep all the quaint and quintessential aspects of the Spanish people. It does not compromise on this and for that, I love it. I’ve been to Spain before, mostly in my teens and early 20’s and most of it I...

This time of year is always a bit depressing; just because you are no longer at school doesn’t mean that you can’t fall victim to those back to school blues. With the end of summer, days becoming shorter and the weather getting colder it can feel like there’s not very much to look forward to. But don’t...
