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 have no idea how I ended up living in Edinburgh. I never had any real ambitions to move to Scotland or to live in Edinburgh but ambitions or not, I ended up calling Edinburgh home for about 4 years. To be honest, I absolutely LOVED living in Edinburgh, the quality of life here is … Continue Reading
Woohoo!!! Hand Luggage Only is 2 years old. Okay, fine – it was 2 years old like almost a month ago but we’ve been o the road for the past few week and that, coupled with my love of procrastination, is why I’ve not gotten round to writing this post until now. 🙂 Now I know everyone says this but … Continue Reading
Over the last couple of days, we’ve been exploring the length and breadth of the stunning Spanish island of Menorca. Thing is, Menorca is often overlooked for it’s the bigger sister island of Majorca or it’s party-loving sister, Ibiza and I’m just gonna come out and say it – Menorca is one stunning gem of … Continue Reading
After a brilliant afternoon sandboarding (and for the very first time too), we decided to make a quick change to our initial plans and head over to Addo Elephant Park… with good reason, I might add – it’s like 5 minute away from where we were sandboarding (which is 30 minutes from the centre of Port … Continue Reading
I’ve never been one to diet or watch my weight. I grew up eating whatever I wanted when I wanted and seemed to get away with it. This, of course, was until lately where I just noticed the pounds piling on an on and despite, what I have to admit now was a rather shoddy … Continue Reading

There’s no denying it (not that we’d want to anyway) – summer is just around the corner and with it comes the possibility of many adventures around the globe. Adventures and the chance to travel is great whatever time of the year it is but there’s something truly irresistible about travelling when the sun’s out. … Continue Reading
Truth be told until we arrived in Fuerteventura, I’d never even heard of, let alone thought of visiting Betancuria; terrible, I know! Even after arriving in this gorgeous village, I still struggled to pronounce the name properly (still not sure if I know how to pronounce it properly now actually but I think it’s miles … Continue Reading
St Andrews is a beautiful Scottish town on the coast of Fife. Most of all, it’s famous for its University (with alumni like the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge), its golf links and absolutely stunning coastline. Oh, and then there’s the architecture here which is worth visiting in and of itself! This being said, St … Continue Reading
After the day in the vineyard and checking out Plettenberg bay, I figured it was high time to head back to Tsitsikamma in search of food. We’d been so so eager to cram as many sights as possible into the day that, save for a mid-afternoon gorge on beef biltong, we’d pretty much forgotten all about food! Back … Continue Reading
Singapore is one of the smallest countries in the world you can visit but don’t let that fool you for a second, it’s also one pretty exciting place, especially if you’re visiting Singapore for the first time. On the surface of it, Singapore seems like just a shiny collection of high-rise apartment and corporate buildings but … Continue Reading
