Apparently today is the most depressing day of the year (thanks, media!), but we’re pretty sure if we had a holiday at one of these beautiful places to look forward to, we wouldn’t be feeling that miserable. Bye bye winter blues, hello dreamy interiors, azure pools and crystal-clear seas!

The i-escape blog / Anna

Anna’s earliest travel memory is running, baguette in hand (aged 3), back from the boulangerie after helping to buy breakfast treats for her family. Since then, her highlights have included island hopping in Croatia and exploring New Zealand in a campervan. Her and her husband now share their adventures with their little boy, Finn, who loves to escape to warmer climes as much as they do.
