I absolutely love the UK so I may be a little bit biased but I genuinely feel like it has some of the nicest places to spend a summer (or winter) holiday. Unfortunately, a lot of places in the UK which offer a greatly different range of experiences and sights get easily over-looked for places … Continue Reading
This is very exciting!!! 🙂 For the first time ever on Hand Luggage Only, we’ve got ourselves a guest blogger! Without further ado, here’s introducing – Georgia! Georgia is a fellow Londoner, talented graphic artist, photographer extraordinaire and the Mother of Dragons! Okay, that last one might not be quite true but she is the … Continue Reading
In the last month alone, I’ve been to Vietnam, Australia, Singapore, U.A.E., Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Macau. I know this sounds like something of a #HumbleBrag but what it highlights are a diverse set of countries with different cultures, customs and indeed different laws yet within all of these and I guess because of … Continue Reading
The day was a particularly hot day in Singapore… perhaps no hotter than average but when you’re still getting used to the heat and have been walking around in the heat, it starts to get pretty uncomfortable. Originally, we were looking for a beach but after getting lost in our search for the beach, we happened upon … Continue Reading
It’s almost that time of the year again in London. The air starts to get crisper, layers of clothing thicken and daylight hours get shyer and shyer… Yup, it’s almost winter time! It is still (quite surprisingly too) unseasonably warm and dry in London! London obviously hasn’t gotten the memo that summer is over and … Continue Reading
One of the most exciting parts of travelling is discovering new and rarely ventured travel destinations that are true gems and offer an experience you can’t get in many other places. This holds for a lot of French villages. The cities while offering all the mod-cons we have grown accustomed to, sometimes lack that true … Continue Reading
“Hello, my name is Yaya and I am an apps hoarder.” I have a habit of downloading apps on my phone with the hope of using them at some point and yet never opening them once or even acknowledgeing them until my phone start to run out of memory and I need to delete some. … 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
Just realised I hadn’t put up the photos of that place we called home while we were in Santorini so here are the photos of the villa we rented while in Santorini… Don’t know if it was a great idea putting these photos up as it’s currently freezing in London and making me so nostalgic … 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! 🙂
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
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
This post started off on another tangent but very quickly evolved when I looked through the photos. Initially, it was gonna show you an aspect of San Sebastian I really enjoyed (the eating and drinking) but when I started looking through the photos, I realised there’s no way I could do that without showing you … Continue Reading
We’re going skiing!!! And yes – you read that right! 🙂 We’re off skiing in Austria very soon and I’m particularly excited about this. Well, my friends (also known as, my enablers) recently suggested going skiing and within a few hours of toying with the idea, plans were made and bookings confirmed! So here’s where I … Continue Reading
