On a fairly random evening, my friends and I decided (now that I think about it) rather spontaneously to book a trip to Ibiza. In fact, I think we booked the trip first and then started to rationalise why we wanted to go away after. “Oh it’s so and so’s birthday so we could use … Continue Reading

It’s been a while since I’ve done a photo diary post. Granted – almost all blog posts with photos in it are a photo diary post of some sort but I haven’t done one like that solely focused on the photos. I love to talk (sometimes too much) so even though I should, there’s no … Continue Reading

I’ve had a few questions over the past few months about what camera I use to take my photos, what accessories I have and what else I pack with me, photography-wise, when travelling. I planned on answering these questions all in one go on a post but yesterday, I figure I might as well put … Continue Reading

A photo diary from our New Year’s Eve celebrations plus a sneak peak into my new flat! Been meaning to put these up a few days ago but didn’t quite get round to it till now. Better late than never I say! I also promise to do a more detailed post on the new flat! … Continue Reading

Venice is a city that easy to fall in love with. In a surprise move (a surprise mostly to myself), I decided that this post on Venice would be best presented through some of my favourite photos exploring the best places to see in Venice. Photos being worth a thousand words and all. I’m already … Continue Reading

When it comes to travel photography, my default mode is to pack in as many colours as possible in a photo. This is especially true in a city like New Orleans.  I’m a huge fan of vividly colourful photos and colours in general but there are times when even the most colour photos just can … Continue Reading

When I put up a “photo diary” I usually try to focus on saying less and “letting the photos do the talking” but before you know it, I end up blabbering away! This time however I’m going to try to be better and shut up from the get-go. I do feel like I need to … Continue Reading

Photography has moved by leaps and bounds in recent years and even just 7 years ago, you wouldn’t think of using your phone as your main photography tool but these days, phone photography pretty much dominates the bulk of photos shared on social media. Granted mine are photos of mundane cr*p like my inability to … Continue Reading

It probably comes as no surprise to you that I love photography. I love being out and about and taking photos – especially so when travelling as my love for photography seems to materialise into something real because I then find a purpose to indulge in my hobby (even though the bulk of that is … Continue Reading

We’ve been trying our best to keep calm about this but we can’t anymore – we’ve written a book and wanna shout about it from the top of the hills! One of our favourite parts about travelling is taking getting to indulge in our passion – photography,  so much so that there’s some healthy rivalry … 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

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

Thailand is one of my favourite countries I’ve had the fortune of travelling to. It really surprised me how much I loved it as my expectations were so different from the reality of being there. Now, the Mainstream media likes to portray Thailand as a place to go partying and yes, sometimes the focus is … Continue Reading

Okay, I finally got around to looking through the Palermo photos (which I have to admit, I wasn’t looking forward to editing after all the rain we had that weekend) but it looks like quite a few of them turned out okay. Pheeeew! The good thing about having the rain was that it made it … Continue Reading
