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
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
Truth be told, there are so many incredible free things to do in Berlin that you’ll be spoilt for choice. This is especially true if you’re looking to explore some of the cities histories, markets and culture. Now, for me, this is one of the main reasons why I love the city so much. It … Continue Reading

Yup! It’s that time again – another time for another pointless game. 🙂 Now if you remember from the last one, there is no real purpose behind this – I just wanna see which choices you’d make. 🙂 I’d been thinking about how different cities are kinda famous for different things and appeal to different … Continue Reading
The next morning in Toronto, after breakfast not too dissimilar to the delicious one we had the day before at the Shangri La, we packed up our bags, bade farewell to the city and headed over to Niagara Falls. Well, not directly to Niagara Falls. We booked a Niagara Falls helicopter tour! We actually ended … Continue Reading

Yup! You heard right! 🙂 The south of France is synonymous with beautiful beaches, great weather and I guess a truly decadent lifestyle yet it is also full of so much amazing history and sights. In the interest of full disclosure, I hadn’t heard much about Nimes until I was looking on SkyScanner.net for a … Continue Reading
When in Bali, one activity that comes highly recommend is driving, walking or even cycling (if you’re brave enough) up to the village of Kintamani to get a fantastic view of Mount Batur. Mount Batur is an active volcano (the last eruption was in 2000) and is also bordered by Danau Batur (a lake) which … Continue Reading
This is one of those posts that took on a life of its own. It was just one of those days when you find yourself wandering around London with absolutely no plans whatsoever. The sun was shining (which, no matter how sunny it gets all summer, is still a big deal) and so I decided … Continue Reading
In England, there’s something of a ‘new tradition’ This ‘new tradition’ is all about celebrating local heroes. After all, even the Queen’s done that ages with the Honours Lists, but this one’s different. This one’s about celebrating the people who help us travellers see even more of England and contribute in many different ways of … Continue Reading
Of all the experiences I was most nervous about in Nepal, I have to say, doing a homestay (i.e. staying with a local family) was probably one of the biggest. There was no rationale to my nervousness either. I just had no idea what to expect and after being so used to being in control … Continue Reading
I should really start our the ‘tale’ of our trip to Turkey from the very beginning but just in the same way I like to skip mains and go straight for dessert and wine, I’m going to impatiently skip the beginning till later. Arriving in Turkey, we stayed at the Rixos Premium Göcek (a bargain Lloyd … Continue Reading
