Arrive at the bus/car stop next to Koutoubia Mosque… Head off towards the main square – Jemaa el-Fnaa (which is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage site and actually inspired that list)… Pop into the souks… Perhaps even stop for a little treat… Head through winding maps and alleyways. If you’ve never been before, perhaps go armed with … Continue Reading
Berlin is one of those European cities that has been defined by war. Everywhere you go, the city’s painful past is evident – from the ruins of one grand structures to the eclectic mix of houses built at different times by different generations, Berlin has truly been shaped by the wars its seen. I remember … Continue Reading
Due to some confusion or the other (or perhaps it was rum punch related), I managed to miss the complimentary St James Club catamaran trip (St James Club is where I stayed in Antigua) but despite this, I knew I had to see Antigua by boat properly. Thankfully, there are a lot of options available here … Continue Reading
By the time we arrived in Issigeac, we realised (and happily accepted) that France’s Dordogne Valley is filled with some of the most picturesque villages, cities, and towns in the country. We’re talking about places that look like you’re stepping into a French fairytale and is the idea of France that we all dream about … Continue Reading
I think I just fell in love! 😄 There are loads of beautiful places in Europe but every so often, some places creeps up on you and totally blows your expectations right out of the water. That places recently for me was Bavaria in Germany. This part of Germany is known for its castles… and I … Continue Reading
Bit of background, I’ve been quite lucky to have spent the last few months living outside of the UK. Funnily enough, for all my love of travelling, I’d never been to Asia before and so this was a summer of firsts. The first opportunity I got, I packed as much travel as possible into every … Continue Reading
The general theme? Random photos of places, things and people I saw while walking around in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is such a vibrant and chaotic city and in that sense rivals any other global city and yet, within all this hustle and bustle, you can still manage to find a calm little oasis of … Continue Reading
Permit me to skip about half a day of our Nordics4 48 hour challenge to walk you through the brilliant Finnish city of Helsinki. Needless to say, I will go back and let you know what we got up to in the night after our evening of ‘treasure hunting’ in Helsinki but I just got too … Continue Reading
The sun didn’t shine much during our long weekend in Berlin but oh, boy when it did, it showed the city off in such a brilliant way. I’ve just gotten round to editing my photos from Berlin (finally!) and will have those on here very soon. In my typical impatient manner, I had to share … 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
For how much I love visiting Germany to see family (and for its Christmas markets), I realise that there’s so much of Germany I still haven’t seen and that I really REALLY wanted to. Well, a couple of weeks ago, we rectified that with Cologne and this city is such a treat and a fantastic … Continue Reading
Ever since we did our road trip across the US years ago (from Florida to California over 3 weeks), I’ve wanted to see more of the South. It’s a part of the US, I never really get to visit that often and there’s just so much more to it than we seem to realise across … Continue Reading
If I were the postcards sending type I would like to think that these are some of the photos that I would send as as a postcards from Australia but alas, I never really send postcards. I have nothing against them – au contraire, I actually like receiving postcards and I never throw them away … Continue Reading
It is so beautiful here!!! Okay, as you know, we’re currently in Austria skiing and as you can imagine with any skiing holiday, we’ve been so busy that it’s been tricky to do a blog post update hence why I have been providing more realtime updates on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, but I have now found … Continue Reading
