Gran Canaria | Spain
First things first, if you haven’t seen the first part of my time in Gran Canaria, in Las Palmas, and the explanation behind my trip, then you can check it out here. I was on the island…
Las Palmas, Gran Canaria | Spain
Ok, yes, I know it’s been a month since my last post, that return to blogging I talked about in August didn’t exactly go to plan. But I’m trying to not be so hard on myself for not…
