Photos are such a funny little thing, aren’t they? They don’t have limits like words do when it comes to telling a story and this is understandably why photography is still one of those things that people across the globe, regardless of what language they speak, can all agree on. The first Lumix camera I had … Continue Reading

Following on from our last post here where we showed you what I’ve found to be one of the easiest cameras for getting amazing professional quality photos (and when we told you the exciting news that we’re Ambassador for Panasonic Lumix cameras), I figured I might as well put together a few quick and easy … Continue Reading

If you’ve been on our Instagram, Twitter or Facebook lately, you’ll probably have noticed that we’ve been to Japan – more specifically, Tokyo and I’ve got to say, this city is everything we’d hoped it would be and more. The trip came about as something of a last minute whim-after-wine with friends as we saw … Continue Reading

You may have already seen the post on how we visited Japan recently but what that post doesn’t actually say (and I realise this now) is that Korea was actually the place we booked to visit. Our flights were direct to Seoul and Japan was just one of those “Well, we’re in this part of … Continue Reading

Before all the jam-packed action in Tokyo and Seoul (…I’ve still got so much to tell you about that trip), we actually started off with a few days in Bilbao. Now Bilbao is a place we’ve only ever visited for the airport alone (it’s the gateway to the Spanish Basque Country) and so we decided … Continue Reading

This week we’ve returned to Switzerland (as you could probably tell from our Instagram) and for the most part of the week, we’ve basically flitted between the city lights of Zurich (and the tranquil charm of Ascona and Lake Maggiore in Ticino). It has been amazing! The weather has been so good (like ‘middle of … 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

Yup! We’re up in the Arctic Circle. I am writing this post looking right outside my window at a snow-clad mountain in one of the most beautiful places (and certainly the highest place) we’ve ever visit – Tromso in Norway. Sounds like a bold claim but I’m gonna put the photos down below and you … Continue Reading

Today, we got an alert saying that Hand Luggage Only (yup, the very same one you’re reading this on right now), just hit the 1 million monthly page views milestone. 1 Million!!! WOW!!! 🎉 I can’t even fully process it – mostly because I can’t picture 1 million of one thing in the same place. … Continue Reading

Our recent return to Portugal was certainly something of an eye opener! In addition to visiting a particular favourite of mine (Hey Lisbon), we got to head down to the coast and check out other parts of Portugal that we’d never seen of even heard of just a few months before visiting – it was … Continue Reading

This one is so easy! There’s literally no tough skill to be learnt here, no tricky unheard-of methods to study here and nothing that a single one of us out there can’t apply straight away. I tend to travel with more than one camera. The camera I use for blog photography is not the same as … Continue Reading

I can’t even begin to tell you how much and for how long I’ve wanted to visit Nepal. It’s been one place I’ve always been fascinated by – in large part due to Mount Everest and the Himalayas) but in other parts due to the absolutely fascinating history of the country. Well, as you can probably … Continue Reading

And, just in case you couldn’t tell already, we’re so excited about this! It’s all totally free and all you have to do is click here reserve your place on the Apple website. For starters, partnering with Apple (who, thanks to the fact that we’ve always iPhones and Macbook from our very first day of … 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
