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
The hike to Trolltunga can be quite tough but with views like these, it’s definitely worth it! Being one of the best hikes and scenic points in Norway, it really is an exhilarating place to visit. Once things for sure though, it’s not for the faint-hearted. 🗻 Trolltunga is a well over 1000 metres above … Continue Reading
You already know how much I value your advice! I already have trips booked this year based on your recommendations and I need your advice even more as I book more trips. Remember a couple of weeks ago when I said how we’d like to go to South America this year? Well we’ve started having … Continue Reading
The US is filled with so many amazing sights (every state is filled with unique and stunning sights) but as famous and as well-visited as some of the more popular sights are (Yosemite, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley…etc) there are so many other amazing sights that are equally as impressive to see yet most people never … Continue Reading
I‘m sorry but I think I just broke the internet! I wasn’t even planning on it! These photos of me on the beach in Bermuda have been described (by not a single person) as the most salaciously amazing photos on the internet! I should even just change the title of this post to #BrokeTheInternet Hahaha! … Continue Reading
Living in London can be expensive! Yes, salaries are higher in London to compensate for it but compared to living in any other city in the UK (and even in the world), Londoners generally have to shell out a lot more money for the same standards of living compared to other cities. Now while there … Continue Reading
Hi! I’ve been meaning to put a quick update about the travel plans we have confirmed so far for this year. We’ve booked plans for just the first few weeks of the year so far which is exciting as that means there’s still a lot of room on the calendar to visit more places! I … Continue Reading
