It’s a New Year and I’ve decided that I would like to share (even more) personal stuff on the blog and what could be more personal than sharing my bad habits with you. It’s just “baby steps” (I know) but let’s jump right into it shall we? Here are 5 of my bad habits: 1.) … Continue Reading
After a couple of days in The Blue Lagoon in Iceland, we moved bases to Reykjavik (we had a car so moving around was quite easy) and so on this particular day, we set off to see as many Icelandic sights as possible! The day was filled with amazing waterfalls, scary yet impressive looking volcanos, … Continue Reading
A photo diary from our New Year’s Eve celebrations plus a sneak peak into my new flat! Been meaning to put these up a few days ago but didn’t quite get round to it till now. Better late than never I say! I also promise to do a more detailed post on the new flat! … Continue Reading
How many of these places dotted all around the world have you ticked off your travel list so far and how many do you plan on ticking off your list this year? (N.B.: Living in the places also counts too! 😉 ) 1.) Bali: There are only 210 days in the Balinese Calendar (i.e. The … Continue Reading
That entrance though! Kinda scary and eerie in one fell swoop! Ha! Luna Park in Sydney is so retro (it actually opened for the first time in 1935) as are some of the attractions in it but is part of its draw. It’s a fantastic throwback venue and such a fun atmosphere to be in. … Continue Reading
1.) It’s winter (in Europe, USA, Canada and part of Asia). Stop trying to fight it and just go for a winter holiday! Part of the joy of seasons is the extremes of different weathers so make the most of the snow and cold while it’s here. 2.) Start looking now! Yes, you may or … Continue Reading
Part of the reason we started Hand Luggage Only was to connect with more people who share our passion for travel so I am always delighted when we find out more about anything food or travel related. I still get excited when someone tells me about a restaurant/bar/new attraction that I haven’t been to in … Continue Reading
Thinking about it now, I have no idea how we managed to stay energetic after arriving in Ibiza. We’d all had about 2 hours sleep (I had just 1 hour due to my last minute packing) before hoping into the taxi to take us to the airport. Honestly, I don’t even know why we tried … Continue Reading
There are quite a few places to get the best views of London and they’re dotted all around the city. That being said, some can be a little further from the centre, whilst others charge to get the best views. This is exactly why you need to consider getting totally free SkyGarden London tickets before … Continue Reading
It’s official, we’re heading back to Iceland! Literally, we’re so excited and we’ve already started planning on the best places to see and all the essential things to pack for Iceland when we visit. We definitely couldn’t stay away for too long and we’re looking forward to getting around and doing some of the stuff … Continue Reading
These are all cities I have had the pleasure of visiting at one time or the other and while I love travelling to many cities and spending a few days there, coming from London, there are very few cities where I’ve been left thinking “I could live here..” after a visit. Connecting with a city, … Continue Reading
I love Brussels! This is a fact I came to terms with as soon as I visited. Yes, it is a vibrant city. Yes, the food is great. Yes, it is home to some of the finest chocolates in the world. But there are so many more reasons why you should visit Brussels as soon … 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
Following on from our (not so) Olympic standard pool diving, our fatigue eventually caught up with us and we all ended up having naps in the sun…until the sun went down and the first of us started to stir. We quickly popped some clothes on and headed out for dinner and drinks. For some reason, … Continue Reading
