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
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
It’s been over 10 years since either of us was in Dublin last and so we were understandably excited to return to this amazing Irish city. There’s so much to tell you of course – so much more than I can talk about before I need to run out of the hotel in a few … 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
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
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
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
