In this issue

2020 Retrospective The virus took mankind by storm. Silence ensued. The streets emptied, people could no longer embrace each other, and the world changed. We have experienced a 2020 of lockdown, fear, hope and struggle in the extreme. Our outlooks all became bleaker, around the globe. Plans were put off and dreams were left for another day. It is true that the today’s reality is different, but we must carry on living. And live to the full! So, for this issue, we wanted to fill your «heart» with emotion, with extraordinary people and places. We talk about serious matters, listening to voic- es from the worlds of medicine and science, and we lis- ten to the «heart» of Manuel Antunes, one of the leading figures in the world of cardiothoracic surgery. And it is with the voice of our «heart» that we take you to dream destinations, to get you excited and so you can pack your bags... and, in 2021, set off on a journey, to discover and feel emotions around the world. Stop at St. Michel Re- sort, in Cornwall, and enjoy a calm and relaxing holiday; or head off to the Maldives and stay at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island luxury resort, on a dream trip, in an idyllic location; or choose to connect with the Earth on the shores of Hoi Na beach in Vietnam and enjoy some deep relax- ation at the Four Seasons The Nam Hai, Hoi Na, Spa; but if you don’t feel fulfilled enough, lose yourself in the «sum of all the arts», in the El Ataneo Grand Splendid bookshop, in Buenos Aires, and live a wealth of culture. And, of course, let your «heart» flutter with emotion in 2021.
