When was the last time you had quality time with #friends and loved ones just because you wanted to, not because of some special occasion? When did you take some time to be alone with your spouse, talking about anything and nothing just like old times? If that question has you scratching your head then perhaps it’s time to take action! Nowadays, we seem to be living a life rich in goals and desires, but are poor on #feelings and affection. We have difficulty separating work f

Whether you are #travelling or residing somewhere, it is always nice to feel welcomed by the locals around you. Below are some of the world’s friendliest places, as set out in a report by the World Economic Forum (WEF). According to the WEF list, it is the small island nation of #Iceland that tops the list of friendliest countries, with New Zealand not far behind in second place.

Visit La Boca An irresistibly charming neighbourhood, La Boca is associated with #football and #tango. With stunning #visuals of rows of brightly coloured buildings, it is the most #photographed area in the #city. Take time out to watch mesmerising tango dancers in the street or cheer on a football match at the

Have you ever noticed how many Nordic people speak fluent and coherent English? In turn, have you ever noticed how few Southern Europeans speak English (Meaning intelligible English, not a few words picked up from food packets and the sort)? Whilst the English language is not the centre of the universe, it is a vital key to #communication in the modern day developed world which we inhabit.
