Like getting the best of both Worlds when travelling? Then Rio might be for you. Rio de Janeiro is a #city unlike any other: a rising city next to some of the #world's most beautiful #beaches, surrounded by striking #mountains and wild #jungle, and painful disparities of social inequality.

El fingimiento en la mayoría de las relaciones humanas ya casi se da por descontada porque siempre existe algún tipo de interés de por medio. Percibimos la autenticidad como u

#Smartphone and tablet users can easily find non-official apps online that promise much but end up delivering all sorts of malicious malware. These apps are NOT monitored by Apple or Google, therefore the only rule their creators have to follow is to seduce as many users as possible with something they know is desired - trend awareness means they keep developing new and 'exciting' apps...

‘Blue Is the Warmest Colour’ scooped the acclaimed Palme D’Or award at Cannes Film Festival 2013. The French indie film explores protagonist Adèle and her journey to discovering her sexuality and, herself. Unbeknown to many, the film is actually an adaptation of a #graphic novel, cleverly styled in black and white, with various dashes of blue dictated by Adèle’s ‘colourful’ love life.
