NAUTICAL ETYMOLOGY... Footloose
The foot is the bottom of a sail, whether triangular or square, that is attached to the boom to keep it stretched. A sail that is not attached to the boom is said to be footloose and is very difficult to control as it moves with the wind. The term ‘footloose and fancy free’ refers to the motion of a footloose sail.

For most of the year I am based in the north of the Island, surrounded by tranquillity, idyllic empty beaches and untouched nature, so I love to visit Ayanapa (Ayia Napa) on the south east coast of Cyprus for an entirely different experience. It has an energetic and international atmosphere, with hundreds of clubs and bars centred around Platia Seferi, plus it is also blessed with a stunning coastline of rocky headlands and beautiful long,

SpinMe This app does
literally exactly what you think it does, and it’s a total pain

Ayia Napa really offers something for everyone.

Walk Up
The concept for this app is positively ingenious. Imagine an alarm that blares
at you until you get out of bed and literally walk around. You can’t mute it, you can’t snooze it, you can’t pause it. If you don’t get your lazy, tired ass out of bed and move, it’ll just keep going.
Wake N Shake The Wake N Shake app is nothing short of merciless. The app is beautifully
