I have been to Vizcaya several times for photoshoots but this is the first time I really explored the inside and it did not disappoint. It reminds me a lot of Versailles in Paris, but just a smaller more Italian version! At the entrance, there is a large open space with glass panels on the…

I don’t usually like milkshakes and I blame my mum for that. When we were kids we had our medication with strawberry milkshake and since then I can’t go near the stuff – and even the smell of the Mc Donalds ones makes me feel ill. However, I specifically went to Bocas House for one…

We have been in Miami for a little over a month now and I wanted to talk about the top 9 things that surprised me about being here. It has been a culture shock and not what we expected at all, not that that’s a bad thing at all! We love how diverse and different…
