Upon arrival in Hong Kong, as any good traveller would, we hurried off to our hotel to drop off our stuff while taking in some of the city on our ride in. Luckily, we got upgraded to a two-bedroom suite at the hotel with amazing views all round (more on that on another post). Before … Continue Reading
Whether you actively set out to see wildlife (as you might in a safari or a trip to the zoo) or you happen to come across them totally randomly as you explore your current travel destination, it’s safe to say that taking photos of animals in their natural (or simulated) habitat can prove rather tricky. … Continue Reading
Santorini needs no introduction so I’m not going to bother with all of that… Okay, fine. For the uninitiated, Santorini is one of the most picturesque Greek Islands (some would say perhaps “the most”). After exploring the more mainstream parts of Santorini on our own as well as going on a tour off the beaten … Continue Reading
As can be expected, as winter beckons (at least here in Europe and of course across the pond in America), more and more people are starting to plan things for 2015 but hang on just a minute – we’re still in 2014. There is still a month and a half left until the end of … Continue Reading
Let’s jump into it, shall we? 1.) Kicking things off is this amazingly warm and spacious apartment with a lovely cosy feel! It gives the feeling of being a family home (and child friendly) but that open fire place says otherwise. Big plus point, you get lots of light and direct sunlight into the flat! … Continue Reading
Growing up, watercolours used to seem so amateurish to me. Probably because this was the first medium I tried to use to paint and as you probably already know, I am a terrible painter/artist. I can’t draw, I can’t really paint and even if you asked me to draw a dog now, I’m pretty sure … Continue Reading
On this particular morning of our road trip, we woke up to (surprisingly) freezing temperatures in Flagstaff, Arizona. Just a few hours ago it was so unbelievably hot (albeit in a different location) so how did things get so cold so fast? Sh*tGotRealFast. Thankfully, coming from the UK, we were all pretty prepared to deal … Continue Reading
For most of us, Australia is a pretty long way away (even from places closer like Bali, the flights are still a few hours away) so a trip to Syndey is definitely one you want to pack in as much stuff as possible. On our trip to Australia from the UK, we flew to Dubai … Continue Reading
Yup! You heard right! We’ve just released our first official Hand Luggage Only app and we’re pretty darn excited over here! I mean bouncing off the walls, quaking at the knees kinda excitement and we’d love for you to check it out and let us know what you think. Currently, we have only the Android … Continue Reading
A while back, I remember a particular UK University (with a permanent fixture in the lower half of the league tables) saying no to me when I applied to them. This year, I graduated from University of Cambridge (top in the UK and arguably in the world). I also recollect a few years back being … Continue Reading
In a shocking revelation this week – I found video footage from our first trip to Amsterdam! Okay, “shocking” is an overly dramatic way to put it (the quality of the video clips, however – now that’s shocking!). In any case, we were rather pleasantly surprised to find these videos and they pretty much capture … Continue Reading
There are literally hundreds of millions of blogs out there today and so you’d be easily forgiven for finding the prospect of starting a new blog rather daunting. That being said, there are so many reasons why you definitely should start a new blog. If you find yourself identifying with one of these reasons, then … Continue Reading
The opening of Winter Wonderland is right around the corner (I wasn’t entirely sure when they’d be opened but according to their website, the gates open from the 21st of November!). Following on from my list of things you have to do in London over winter, here’s a deeper dive into one of said activities … Continue Reading
I’ve always been a sucker for clean and airy spaces (which typically tend to be painted white) but lately, I found myself more and more interested in pastel colours (by lately, I mean over the past 6 months or so). My obsession with pastel colour hasn’t been a conscious thought-out process, it has been more … Continue Reading
