Aacck! Can’t believe I haven’t put there pictures up yet! 🙂 These photos have all been edited on my phone (huge kudos to VSCO – love that app) but I’d been so distracted by the fact that this was our very first trip to Turkey (and perhaps by all the Turkish food) that I hadn’t gotten round … 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

…a country so beautiful, diverse and intriguing that we couldn’t stay away for too long! 😉 We’re currently in Sri Lanka, which if you’ve been on our instagram or Facebook, you’ve probably already noticed. We were here earlier in the year for just under a week but a week isn’t nearly enough time to see … Continue Reading

This one’s been a long time coming. It probably comes as no surprise to you how much we love travel photography. With every trip we take, we alway end up with lots of photos  (at this point, you’re probably no stranger to our blog posts with way too many photos in them) however, there’s always that photo … Continue Reading

It’s so easy you don’t even have to lift a finger. I know, crazy right? I have to admit though, I was a bit skeptical at first. I take far too many photos when I travel and so have spent years trying to find the perfect tool to make editing easier. In fact, I remember … 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

Taking photos when you travel can be so much fun. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to see these things in person (with or without the photography element). However, taking nice photos of the day is almost like an instant ticket to take you back to these places you visited and the adventures you’ve had. … Continue Reading

Travel photography can sometimes be a tricky one. Unlike other forms of photography (e.g. food photography which happens in a controlled environment, after all, it’s not like this pie’s running away) there are too many variables which can end up with you getting either an amazing (one-off) photo or a really crappy photo (like so … Continue Reading

These days, there aren’t that many destinations that tend to surprise me. This isn’t because the destinations aren’t amazing or beautiful or dramatic or whatever-else-you’d-look-for-on-your-travels. I think it’s in large part due to being able to do a fair bit of research online, see photos (and videos) before going. This means I tend to arrive … Continue Reading

The last few days have been hectic but oh so fun-filled! If you’ve been on Instagram lately (@HandLuggageOnly), then you’ll have seen that we’ve been in Spain exploring Malaga. Before I run out of the door though, I just had to send a few postcards to you from Spain. From Malaga… From Ronda… From the … 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

Remember this video below we did with Airbnb Travel in Amsterdam a few months ago? Well, I was going through my photos from our time in Amsterdam and found some of the ‘behind the scenes’ photos that never quite made it to the blog (to be fair, I still have a lot of photos from that … Continue Reading

Marrakesh is a visual feast! One of my favourite things about being in Morocco and Marrakesh, in particular, is how colourful everything is. From the spices in the souks to the outfits worn by locals and visitors alike to even the landscape, Marrakesh is truly one of the most colourful travel destinations out there. I’ve … Continue Reading

Ibiza is (justifiably) famous the world over as a brilliant place to visit in summer! The island fills with visitors from all over the world looking for one of the most unique islands experiences the world over. Ibiza’s parties are famous – as are it’s clear blue waters and although these things are available long … Continue Reading
