This is a photo diary so I’ll spare you all the waffle and jump right in! 🙂 There are a few photos we took on our long weekend in New York City when we decided to head off to Central Park. Photos were taken before (and after) our boat ride here … Read more: Best … Continue Reading

I just found these random photos on our road trip across America that I just had to share them with you! These are essentially photos taken on the road and not particularly in anywhere specific; at least nowhere any of us can really remember (we were probably in-between states at some points here). Somehow, these … Continue Reading

As you already from our instagram (@HandLuggageOnly), we just spent in Bratislava with friends (brilliant city by the way, so much more than I was expecting) and while there’s so much to tell you about, I just couldn’t wait to share a few pictures from Bratislava with you! I will do a proper set of blog … Continue Reading

Bit of background, I’ve been quite lucky to have spent the last few months living outside of the UK. Funnily enough, for all my love of travelling, I’d never been to Asia before and so this was a summer of firsts. The first opportunity I got, I packed as much travel as possible into every … Continue Reading

We’re in Gdansk! 🙂 It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these quick blog updates while we’re still in the same place but I’d been editing these photos on my phone and just had to share these photos of Gdansk. As per usual, we’ll be updating more on Instagram and Facebook.  14 Best Things … Continue Reading

These are the photos from our trip to Cinque Terre in Italy! Each of these 5 UNESCO World Heritage sites is so unique and so beautiful that I genuinely struggled to cram all the photos taken into one blog post (even for a photo heavy blog post, it would have been way too many photos) … Continue Reading

We’re currently in the Faroe Islands and to say this trip has been a long time coming, is something of an understatement! We’d been planning and looking forward to this trip for a while. Needless to say, our expectations were quite high as soon as we arrived. We’ve been constantly Snapchatting (@ Hand Luggage Only) … Continue Reading

I’ll keep it short and sweet here. I was looking through holiday photos from our trip to Santorini when I came across this set taken by Chris. We’re all super competitive with each other when it comes to taking photos but part of all that is giving credit when it’s due and so we figured … Continue Reading

On our recent trip to South Africa, I took over 3600 photos. And this was me being ‘prudent’ and trying not to take too many photos. The resultant effect of this of course means that as eager as I have been to share with you what we got up to, I’ve barely been able to … Continue Reading

The last couple of weeks have been a pretty manic flurry of activity across multiple cities, as you can probably tell from our Instagram posts (all the deets are on there so I won’t rehash them on here). Even in the midst of all of this travel (there was one point where we were in … Continue Reading

If you’ve been on our Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, you’ll probably have been inundated with so many photos from the Maldives… If you haven’t well this post is for you – we’re in the Maldives as it’s as beautiful as they all said it would be! (Oh, and we’re also on Snapchat with username “HandLuggageOnly”) … Continue Reading

Swiftly following on from the 1st part, here are the rest of the photos from the old town of Gdansk. This photo below was probably the very first one I put on Instagram after we arrived in Gdansk. I’d spent the past few hours going “WOW!!!” at every street corner and by this point. Honestly, … Continue Reading

The general theme? Random photos of places, things and people I saw while walking around in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is such a vibrant and chaotic city and in that sense rivals any other global city and yet, within all this hustle and bustle, you can still manage to find a calm little oasis of … Continue Reading

“Where???” you ask. Palawan is a set of islands in the Philippines that can easily and rather justifiably be described as one of the most naturally beautiful places you can ever visit. Well, this made us book some flights and get ourselves over here for a little exploring; and we loved it.  Whilst it’s a … Continue Reading
