There’s going to be a new feature on the Hand Luggage Only website! WHOOP WHOOP!!! 😉 And it’s one that we hope you will find useful… Okay, this is very much new and we’re very open to suggestion on how to improve it as we go along but you know how I constantly go on and on … Continue Reading
The way we choose to travel and particularly where we plan on staying can be a very personal choice, with a number of factors that influence our decision making. Before I ever decide on where to go, I tend to set myself a very clear set of “guidelines” to help find the right place. For … Continue Reading
Visiting Morocco for the first time last year was something of an eye opener. See, Lloyd had always wanted to visit but I wasn’t fully sold. Eventually, I caved in and we grabbed a couple of friends and headed over to Morocco somewhere between assignments and piles of coursework I had back at Cambridge University. … Continue Reading
There are hoards of castles in Poland to explore, in fact, the country has hundreds to see. It doesn’t matter if you’re visiting for a little city break or a longer road trip, you’ll easily find a fair few of the best castles in Poland dotted all across the country. Now while places like England, … Continue Reading
Italy is one incredible country to visit and I’m not going to tell any porky pies by saying otherwise. Italy is one of Europe’s most diverse countries, with completely different landscapes, cultures and weather. No trip to Italy is complete without devouring your whole weight in delicious grub; especially when it’s so tasty. I swear, … Continue Reading
Look, I love a good ski trip and I’m always keen to show off what I believe to be pretty epic ski skills though from looking back at videos of myself, perhaps I look more like a crab on ice than the former! 🤣 What I lack in finesse though, I more than make up … Continue Reading
Let’s be honest, Europe is awash with thousands of pretty little villages to explore, but there are always those select few that really stand out. One of the things I love most about Europe is how diverse our continent is. After all, no two countries are the same and you’re really spoilt for choice when … Continue Reading
Portugal easily brags about having some of the best weather in Europe so understandably it’s a popular destination for some of the more ‘weather-challenged parts of Europe’ (I’m looking at you the UK and Ireland 😉) to visit. That being said, there are so many amazing cities and towns in Portugal absolutely worth visiting and … Continue Reading
These 9 places holiday destinations are just what you travel plans need! 😁 Some are more well known than others and some are rather specific places, as opposed to a larger destination, but they have one thing in common and that’s how amazing they all are individually. If you’re still unsure where to go travelling … Continue Reading
We’re headed off to Santorini in a few weeks (remember this post here?). This has been on the cards for quite a while now but it’s slipped to the back of my mind for ages until I looked at my calendar recently and realised that it was almost time to head out to Greece again! I had … 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
Winter is upon us in the Northern Hemisphere right now and as cold and somewhat frustrating as it can be sometimes, this is the best time of the year to have a fairly unique holiday experience and visit some places across the world that quite literally get transformed by winter into a winter paradise of … Continue Reading
After our exciting news about our adventure next week, I wanted to do some research into the most dramatic landscapes and blissfully beautiful locations that I want to re-visit and explore and explore, over and over again. It probably sounds strange, but when it gets really sunny in London (like today), my mind starts to … Continue Reading
Please stop what you’re doing right now and take a look at this amazing little island. The island is called Tavarua and it is in Fiji. The ‘deserted island’ game is strong with this one. Image via Except of course, it isn’t deserted and you couldn’t spend many an afternoon lazing around on its beautiful sandy beaches … Continue Reading
