Nopi London-Can healthy be yummy and trendy?

I did tons of research to find the best of best in Corsica. Especially of Beaches. Internet surfing, local recommendations, travel mags and more. I did come across the regulars like Lotu beach, Saleccia and sure they didn’t disappoint. They offered Maldivian turquoise water and fine sand + perfect sunbathing. The down side? Despite offering […]
