Excited wrapping Christmas presents and prepping for New Year’s Eve parties. I found these photos from New Year’s Eve fireworks in London and thought I’d best take a quick break from wrapping presents and drinking more mulled wine than is advisable to share these photos with you! Unsurprisingly, on this particularly cold evening, the fireworks … Continue Reading
The rules of the game are fairly easy to learn and the forfeit (if you lose) is fairly obvious too. The origin of the game is… actually, I have no idea what the origin of the game is… I was walking around Boston with Lloyd and Lil Miss Chic Therapy and as we wandered around … Continue Reading
First off, this is part 1 of the post as there are too many photos to fit in one post so do settle down with a good cuppa tea… actually, scratch that! Chuck that tea down the sink and get yourself a huge vat of mulled wine instead (go on – it’s Christmas time… N.B.: I … Continue Reading
Swiftly following the morning’s sailing/kayaking and lunch-time gluttony (if you missed that – check out part 1 of this post – which has been split to two parts due to having lots of photos), my friends and I (who must have put on quite a few pounds from lunch alone) headed off to the next … Continue Reading
2014 was the year that Hand Luggage Only was truly born! Lloyd and I started toying with the idea of Hand Luggage Only back in 2012 after travelling around at every opportunity possible and accumulating quite a lot of travel photos so after a bit of “to’ing” and “fro’ing” we finally decided to go for … Continue Reading
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
