I have a proper soft spot for Cambridge and not just because it used to be home or even because Yaya studied there. One of the best parts about living in a city as incredible as Cambridge (and knowing someone with a student card) is that you have direct access to some of the best … Continue Reading
We’re pretty lucky in England! I mean, not only do we have some lovely cities like Cambridge, Bath and London, we have a whole heap of treasures that are right on the doorstep of many bigger towns and cities. You might remember me banging on about my love for the Isles of Scilly and how … Continue Reading
It’s no surprise how much I relish a good Italian trip. I mean, it’s one of those countries that I could visit every week If I could (and I’m already itching to get back). Now, the thing I love most has to be all the unique places in Italy, I’d even go as far as … Continue Reading
On our penultimate day in Bali, we finally decided to see what was actually some of the most obvious spots to visit in Bali but ones we’d never gotten round to seeing (like not the last time we’d visit and not even on this current trip). We started off with one ‘closer to home’ – … Continue Reading
The next day in St Kitts, I woke up with a surprising pain in my foot! Turns out, I hurt myself really badly on the beach the evening before from jumping around and chasing the little sandpipers on the beach. It was the stupidest thing really – I just loved watching them all march away … Continue Reading

I mean, I don’t actually think I’ve ever visited without finding … Continue Reading
Hey, it’s Henry here! You might remember from my last trip with the Hand Luggage Only guys to Barcelona? This time, however, I’ve ventured a little closer to home. All the way over to gorgeous Ireland! To be totally frank, I’m actually a little ashamed to say but (as a 24-year-old, Guinness loving, Irish jigging … Continue Reading
For the longest time, I’ve wanted to visit Arundel Castle! I remember hearing about it years ago and thinking it was a joke – in large part because the name sounds made up, like a place or a character from Lord of the Rings. Then I found out it was a real place and, after … Continue Reading
The Basque Country is an autonomous region located in the North of Spain and Southern France and is culturally and historically different from both France and Spain. This is partly why some of the most interesting places to visit in the Basque Country are truly unlike anywhere else in Europe. Even the Basque language predates … Continue Reading
Around a three-hour drive from Nashville, Memphis is one of those cities that really shouldn’t be forgotten when you visit Tennessee. Perched right on the western fringes of Tennessee (on the banks of the Mississippi River, no less), it’s a great city to explore some of that famous southern charm. Best of all, there are … Continue Reading
After leaving the absolutely beautiful Schleissheim Palace (and having dinner, of course), we made our way over to Klostergasthof Raitenhaslach – the oldest Cistercian monastery in Upper Bavaria but not ‘to visit’ per se – this is where we would be spending the night in Bavaria. (*You’ll find that in Germany and Austria – old … Continue Reading
Back when we were students in St Andrews, there were plans to knock down the building at the waterfront in Dundee and replace it with a V&A Dundee. I don’t pay much attention to things like this but Lloyd does and as soon as we decided to head up to Scotland, this was one place … Continue Reading
Going on your first ever trip can be a mix of sheer excitement but also a nerve-racking prospect. Now, if it’s your first trip, you’re likely having those giddy feelings from planning everything, then bouts of butterflies and a few nerves? Well, this was in my case at least! That being said, there can be … Continue Reading
Portugal is one epic country to explore and, possibly, one of the most gorgeous countries in Europe! Now, I know, that’s a pretty mean feat to say but there are so many places in Portugal that are so diverse and totally unique.
