Welcome to my March newsletter! It’s the first month of spring, and one of my favourite months with the colourful spring flowers. I am writing my newsletter in Venice at the Mask Carnival, one of my bucket list events ticked off. It definitely lives up to the hype and is something you should experience; it can be chaotic sometimes, but it is enjoyable and a fest of colour.
