The japa trend has come to stay, and we're not holding back. Everyone wants to japa, and that's why you may be at a wedding with someone this Saturday shouting “we're outside” together, only to hear on Monday that they've flown out.
You're probably also considering a move.

Now, having reached Porthmadog (a town built on reclaimed sand from the Glaslyn estuary), I’m ready to experience the entrancing, wild-looking beauty of the Llŷn up close. I have three walks planned over the coming days. The first is a gentle six-mile stroll from Borth-y-Gest (one bay over from Porthmadog) to Criccieth Castle. As I set out, the tide is retreating at a rate that makes me think someone has pulled the plug on the entire estuary. The small boats bobbing in the bay become statues as they are stranded in the sand.
A large jellyfish lies on a beach directly below Porthmadog golf course. Two kids poke it tentatively with a piece of driftwood. Buried in the sand are huge slabs of micro-layered black and grey slate. They look like stranded giants – could these rocks have inspired the Mabinogi story of Brân the Blessed whose gargantuan severed head was carried back to the Llŷn by his loyal knights after a fateful battle with the Irish king Matholwch?

The agreement aims to enhance people-to-people exchange, deepen cultural integration, and strengthen diplomatic cooperation. More importantly, the deal is already producing results, with direct flights between Lagos and São Paulo scheduled to begin soon.

I woke up to the waves crashing beneath my Airbnb. Stepping onto the porch of the Leucadia house, north of downtown Encinitas in San Diego County, I watched the water lap the sandy shore down the hill in late January, before returning inside to get dressed in a sleepy haze.
I hopped in the car for a short drive down the road to meet my family for breakfast at Atelier Manna, where we sat on the porch and ate croissant breakfast sandwiches with smoked ham and herb cheese. It was the ideal lazy beach town morning, just minutes away from a major metropolitan area and tourist hub.
