Shared Trust
Exploring Cooperative Training Methods That Respect Your Pet’s Autonomy For decades, traditional pet training has centred on obedience: the expectation that a dog, cat, or other companion animal will follow commands consistently and without question. But increasingly, trainers and behaviourists are recognising that obedience alone does not build trust or wellbeing.

Expat Bubble
In many coastal towns and inland villages across Spain, the signs are easy to spot. English voices drift across sun-baked plazas. Union Jacks flutter gently from shopfronts. Signs for roast dinners and Sunday quizzes stand shoulder to shoulder with the old stone walls of centuries-old buildings. It’s a picture-postcard setting, but for many expats, it’s also a subtle trap: the comfortable, familiar world of the expat bubble. This bubble isn’t malicious.

5 Autumn Drinks That Keep You Hydrated and Your Skin Healthy
Autumn isn’t just about golden leaves and cosy jumpers. As temperatures drop, heating comes on and humidity levels fall, the air turns noticeably drier. What many people don’t realise is that this doesn’t just affect your surroundings — it affects your body too. Dry, heated environments pull moisture from your skin and speed up water loss through breathing and evaporation. Even if you’re drinking plenty of water, it’s easy to become dehydrated without re

Simple Games That Bring Couples Closer
The strongest love stories rarely rely on grand gestures. They’re built in the quiet of ordinary nights — when two people choose each other over everything else. When the television is finally switched off and the world outside softens to a hush, something gentle happens: conversation returns, laughter finds its way back, and the living room becomes more than just a place to sit. It becomes your shared world. These simple, thoughtful games are design

Where Nature Meets Architecture
Plants as Architectural Elements Plants are no longer just something you place in a corner for a hint of green. More and more, they’re shaping interiors as structural elements — influencing how rooms flow, feel and function. This approach treats greenery as part of the architecture itself, not an afterthought. It defines zones, guides movement, shapes airflow and sets the visual tone of a space. The result is a more balanced, intelligent way of desig

November Fun
When summer fades and the crowds disappear, Spain in November reveals a different side of itself.

Against the Odds
Against the Odds: How Nicci Found Her Place in Altea When Nicci left the UK for Spain, she was chasing something more than sunshine.

Altea, a coastal town on the Costa Blanca, would give her all of that eventually. But not without testing her first. Nicci grew up in Porthcawl, a seaside tow
