Turks & Caicos

Turks & Caicos is a collection of 40 Caribbean islands, 8 of which are inhabited. It's a British territory, which means lots of celeb Brits have homes there, and on the most touristy island of Provo, everything is ridiculously expensive. But maybe it's worth it, because everything is also ridiculously pretty?

Iceland: Reykjavik Arts Festival and clubbing

You wander through woods, coming first to a small fishing boat lined with hay and fur that you curl up inside (it's so cozy and sweet-smelling), listening to birdsong. You leave reluctantly and stumble upon a hut. Inside the hut, you smell and hear fire and burning sage, but it's nearly pitch black. As your eyes adjust, you see a woman swathed in cloth, but for her eyes.
