1.) Money can’t buy happiness… but it can’t buy unhappiness either. What you do with the money you have is down to you. 2.) Be less modest! People need to be told how amazing you are. After all, how else will they know that there’s steak for dinner if you don’t let hear it sizzle! … Continue Reading
We’ve got a new video up on The YouTube channel! There’s no real point to the video. It’s Christmas and it’s London and so a video happened! 🙂
When in Bali, one activity that comes highly recommend is driving, walking or even cycling (if you’re brave enough) up to the village of Kintamani to get a fantastic view of Mount Batur. Mount Batur is an active volcano (the last eruption was in 2000) and is also bordered by Danau Batur (a lake) which … Continue Reading
I’m genuinely in deep lust with Canada! In fact, I’d go as far as saying I have a love affair with Canada. Ever since I first stepped foot in Vancouver, I knew I knew instantly that I was crazy about all things Canadian. Wandering around downtown Vancouver and falling in lust with Canada more and … Continue Reading
As you already know, I am a wildlife enthusiast. This has been the case since I was little and I don’t remember ever not being fascinated by nature documentaries and animals in general. At one point, I even wanted to become a vet doctor. It of course stands to reason that I hop at any … Continue Reading
Some are near, some are far. Some are oldies (but goodies), some are newbies. Some are quite specific, some are more general. What they do have in common is that these are the 15 places that I would looooooove to visit. ✈ Edit: Now, I’ve been able to visit quite a few of these stunning … Continue Reading
And boy was it something of a revelation! When we visited Gipuzkoa in the Basque Country (in Spain), I had lots of different expectations – that the people would be friendly (this is a popular and rather well known fact), that the language would be dramatically different from Spanish, that the weather would be great… … Continue Reading
Twas the night before Christmas…. The cat was getting drunk on mulled wine… Santa, all ready for Christmas, took a bit of time off for some festive golf… …before heading out to deliver presents! Unfortunately however, Rudolph wasn’t having any of it! So Santa had to resort to more creative ways to deliver the presents… … Continue Reading
Excited wrapping Christmas presents and prepping for New Year’s Eve parties. I found these photos from New Year’s Eve fireworks in London and thought I’d best take a quick break from wrapping presents and drinking more mulled wine than is advisable to share these photos with you! Unsurprisingly, on this particularly cold evening, the fireworks … Continue Reading
The rules of the game are fairly easy to learn and the forfeit (if you lose) is fairly obvious too. The origin of the game is… actually, I have no idea what the origin of the game is… I was walking around Boston with Lloyd and Lil Miss Chic Therapy and as we wandered around … Continue Reading
First off, this is part 1 of the post as there are too many photos to fit in one post so do settle down with a good cuppa tea… actually, scratch that! Chuck that tea down the sink and get yourself a huge vat of mulled wine instead (go on – it’s Christmas time… N.B.: I … Continue Reading
Swiftly following the morning’s sailing/kayaking and lunch-time gluttony (if you missed that – check out part 1 of this post – which has been split to two parts due to having lots of photos), my friends and I (who must have put on quite a few pounds from lunch alone) headed off to the next … Continue Reading
2014 was the year that Hand Luggage Only was truly born! Lloyd and I started toying with the idea of Hand Luggage Only back in 2012 after travelling around at every opportunity possible and accumulating quite a lot of travel photos so after a bit of “to’ing” and “fro’ing” we finally decided to go for … Continue Reading
Madagascar is probably not the first place most people think of when it comes to planning your holiday but despite the country being one of the most remote places to visit, there are so many reasons to visit Madasgascar (or at least to think about it when you’re planning your holidays) and here are just … Continue Reading
