Menorca is a little piece of paradise in the Mediterranean. I’ve wanted to visit this Spanish island for years, and now that I’ve been invited to speak at an influencer conference called MustSeeMenorca, I’ve finally gotten my chance.

It’s sunset in the desert. The sun sinks below the sand, turning the dunes orange and red along their sinuous curves.
