Over the course of the past year, we’ve not so secretly been gigging as guest blogger for Bravofly. It has been so much fun writing for this amazing company and even better still when they sent us on the trip of a lifetime across Italy this year on a 3-wheeled rickshaw! I’d so wanted to do … Continue Reading

I’ve done so many blog posts on this but I’ve finally gotten round to editing the video from our trip! 🙂 When we were in Italy I ended up going way overboard with the videos and photos I was taking and it was only when I got home and had to sift through hours of … Continue Reading

Right, now where was I? Oh yes, carrying on from the first part of this post, our starters had just arrived at The Connoisseur Bar in the Guinness Storehouse and they’d disappeared down our greedy gobs much quicker than they’d arrived! Next up, we had the wild atlantic seafood chowder with a sprinkling of Carragheen Irish … Continue Reading

I’ll be the first to admit, before moving to live in Singapore, I can’t say I knew much about this tiny country. I had a friend living there who gave me a quick low-down on what areas to look for apartments in and told me how safe it all was…etc but that was about it. I … Continue Reading

New York really is the city that never sleeps! It’s got a huge mix of neighbourhoods, totally cool viewpoints and a mountain of amazing places to eat. Better still, even if you’re short on time, you can still get a great feel and see New York in a day.  Now, the first thing you’ll realise … Continue Reading

Wales, where do I start? Honestly, for a relatively small country, it packs a mighty big punch when it comes to epic things to do in Wales.  With close to 1,000 miles of coastline, cities like Cardiff, the stunning areas of west Wales and breathtaking castles that dot its landscape. Wales is a totally essential … Continue Reading

In my last post here, I promised that I would update snapchat on the go (username – HandLuggageOnly) but seeing as I didn’t have internet, somewhere in between the hive of activity we’ve had all day, all my snaps disappeared! (Not impressed Snapchat). It’s almost past 1am here in South Africa and seeing as the … Continue Reading

Spain is a totally gorgeous country to explore, from the stunning beaches, beautiful places in the north to the most epic Spanish cities, you’ll be totally spoilt for choice on where to visit. This is especially true if you’re heading on a city break, like Madrid. You see, there are some many incredible and best … Continue Reading

There’s no doubt Amsterdam is one of the best cities to visit in Europe. From the expansive and picturesque Vondelpark, its beautiful canals, and the signature Dutch Architecture, it’s totally gorgeous to visit. Plus, with the artistic heritage of Amsterdam at the Van Gogh Museum, there really is a piece of Amsterdam that you’ll no … Continue Reading

Slovenia is a relatively small European country that is nestled between the Italian, Croatian, Hungarian and Austrian countries that make up this pretty region of Europe. There are lots of things to see, do and of course eat in Slovenia, making this a perfect place to spend a holiday or even include on a road trip in Europe. … Continue Reading

And it’s pretty hard to get into, though not for the reasons you might think! (More about that further down) The northern part of Ibiza couldn’t be any more different from the south! Granted it’s still got the same beautiful scenery and amazing spots to watch the sunset but the North is quiet, serene and … Continue Reading

To get into the Dordogne Valley, you will most likely arrive at Brive or Bergerac airport (unless of course, if you drive in) and while there’s not an awful lot to do in Brive, it’s still worth a little visit, even if just for a few hours. To start, head over to the market for … Continue Reading

For me, Norway’s true appeal lies far from the bright lights of its cities, like Oslo (though that’s amazing too). That being said, Bergen is a bit of an exception though with its UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen and this amazing view at Floyen. Seriously, nowhere else in the world looks or feels just like … Continue Reading

After a day of hiking many-a-mountain (okay, fine – just two mountains), we spent the rest of that evening in Sri Lanka having calming Ayruveda massages and dining on as much delicious Sri Lankan food as we could lay our hands on (which was quite a lot). ^Above is where you have the massages by … Continue Reading
