Seattle is one of my favourite American cities. Im fact, it reminds me of Edinburgh in the UK in a lot of ways. Not in terms of the architecture or anything else fairly obvious, more in terms of the vibe of being in a city. It’s big enough that you don’t feel claustrophobic, yet small … Continue Reading
Iceland is a totally stunning country to explore! This is especially true when you’re heading over to see all the best places that are dotted all across the country. That being said, the capital, Reykjavik also has a lovely charm, too and is well worth visiting for a day (or two) whilst on a wider … Continue Reading
3 years ago, to this day exactly, in my college room back at Cambridge University I found myself with a free day. This almost never happened! See, you know the way you see photos of students at Uni fooling around and kicking it in the pub on a Saturday? That wasn’t our lot on my course. … Continue Reading
Because half of the fun is about getting the stuff you want, not the stuff that you need! 1.) The iKettle: You can control this kettle using your phone! No more standing around in the kitchen waiting around like a for your first drops of caffeine. You can just pop the kettle on as soon … Continue Reading
If you ever needed a reason to visit New Zealand, then now is the time! You see, it’s totally stunning. This is especially true with all the best places in New Zealand that are dotted all across the islands themselves. Now, before we even get started, let me just show you a few photos which … Continue Reading
Our arrival in Ibiza was straight off the heels of our time wine tasting draaanking in Slovenia and, seeing as we wanted to make the most of the time there, we made the decision to leave on one of the earliest flights out of London to Ibiza. This seemed like such an amazing decision till we … Continue Reading
![The Sights Of Florence, Italy... A Photo Diary [Part2] (18)](https://i0.wp.com/handluggageonly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_2947-s1.jpg?fit=1600%2C1066&ssl=1)
All the photos from my recent trip to Florence… I will try to keep this within the remits of a photo diary and so I won’t rehash the sights, sounds and tastes of Florence (already did that in this post)! There are quite a few photos here so I’ve split it into two posts otherwise it would take forever … Continue Reading
For starters – very hard! Not impossible (far from actually) but still hard. The trail itself is actually easy enough, it’s never so steep that you can’t handle it – what truly gets you is the fact that you’re in one of the highest altitudes in the world (even higher than Machu Picchu or Cusco) … Continue Reading
1.) Money can’t buy happiness… but it can’t buy unhappiness either. What you do with the money you have is down to you. 2.) Be less modest! People need to be told how amazing you are. After all, how else will they know that there’s steak for dinner if you don’t let hear it sizzle! … Continue Reading
Portrait photography is definitely one of the most popular forms of photography out there. Let’s face it, long before other types of photography(e.g. the more common landscape photography to more random ones like abstract photography) became popular, portrait photography was one of the earliest forms of photography and one of the ways early photographers made money. … Continue Reading
We’re literally talking about spending just 1-second here to end up with dramatically different and rather beautiful photos (if I do say so myself 🙂 ). Photography is absolutely subjective and while one important part of it is actually getting the right photo, the most crucial part (and sometimes, the most overlooked part) is actually editing the … Continue Reading
Our safari adventure started in Johannesburg but we didn’t get to see much of the city. We arrived late in the afternoon and by the time we had checked into the hotel, freshed up, gone for a quick dip in the pool and subsequently had to refreshen up again, it was night time so we … Continue Reading
It perhaps comes as no surprise that I’m a huge fan of blogging and not just the writing side of things but reading blogs too. I think I’d go as far as saying that I spend more time reading blogs than I do writing them. I’ve done posts on why you should start a blog … Continue Reading
A very (very) quick post here! We visited South Africa late last year (for the first time) on safari with a pit stop in Cape Town and pretty much fell in love with it! The main reason we visited really was to go on safari and Cape Town was just an add on (at the time) … Continue Reading
