The opening of Winter Wonderland is right around the corner (I wasn’t entirely sure when they’d be opened but according to their website, the gates open from the 21st of November!). Following on from my list of things you have to do in London over winter, here’s a deeper dive into one of said activities … Continue Reading
In a shocking revelation this week – I found video footage from our first trip to Amsterdam! Okay, “shocking” is an overly dramatic way to put it (the quality of the video clips, however – now that’s shocking!). In any case, we were rather pleasantly surprised to find these videos and they pretty much capture … Continue Reading
Yup! You heard right! We’ve just released our first official Hand Luggage Only app and we’re pretty darn excited over here! I mean bouncing off the walls, quaking at the knees kinda excitement and we’d love for you to check it out and let us know what you think. Currently, we have only the Android … Continue Reading
For most of us, Australia is a pretty long way away (even from places closer like Bali, the flights are still a few hours away) so a trip to Syndey is definitely one you want to pack in as much stuff as possible. On our trip to Australia from the UK, we flew to Dubai … Continue Reading
On this particular morning of our road trip, we woke up to (surprisingly) freezing temperatures in Flagstaff, Arizona. Just a few hours ago it was so unbelievably hot (albeit in a different location) so how did things get so cold so fast? Sh*tGotRealFast. Thankfully, coming from the UK, we were all pretty prepared to deal … Continue Reading
Growing up, watercolours used to seem so amateurish to me. Probably because this was the first medium I tried to use to paint and as you probably already know, I am a terrible painter/artist. I can’t draw, I can’t really paint and even if you asked me to draw a dog now, I’m pretty sure … Continue Reading
As can be expected, as winter beckons (at least here in Europe and of course across the pond in America), more and more people are starting to plan things for 2015 but hang on just a minute – we’re still in 2014. There is still a month and a half left until the end of … Continue Reading
Santorini needs no introduction so I’m not going to bother with all of that… Okay, fine. For the uninitiated, Santorini is one of the most picturesque Greek Islands (some would say perhaps “the most”). After exploring the more mainstream parts of Santorini on our own as well as going on a tour off the beaten … Continue Reading
“Where???” you ask. Palawan is a set of islands in the Philippines that can easily and rather justifiably be described as one of the most naturally beautiful places you can ever visit. Well, this made us book some flights and get ourselves over here for a little exploring; and we loved it. Whilst it’s a … Continue Reading
Upon arrival in Hong Kong, as any good traveller would, we hurried off to our hotel to drop off our stuff while taking in some of the city on our ride in. Luckily, we got upgraded to a two-bedroom suite at the hotel with amazing views all round (more on that on another post). Before … Continue Reading
1.) Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany: I expect Elsa to burst out singing from this castle at any moment! 2.) Bamboo Forest, Japan: The pure essence of calmness and serenity. 3.) Pena National Palace, Portugal: Looks like the birth place of adventure and summer romance! 4.) Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland: Somewhere in here is a princess (or … Continue Reading
I’m one of those people who genuinely gets over-excited whenever I see a place on TV that I’ve seen in person. It doesn’t even matter where it is, as long as I recognise it (or indeed even if I have no idea and someone reminds me that I’ve seen it) I can be found almost … Continue Reading
Winter time is one of my favourite times to travel. I’m a huge fan of holidays that are chock-a-block with sunshine (who isn’t?) but Winter holidays can be as exciting as summer holidays, especially when planned properly and stay nice and cosy! Not sure how? Well make sure you pack these with you when you … Continue Reading
Travelling is always a unique personal experience – you see the world through your own eyes (literally and figuratively). You taste, smell and feel everything wherever you travel in manner that has everything to do with you little with someone else. Despite this, there are constantly “travel rules” being banded around that people expect you … Continue Reading
