Our travel to Peru is perhaps one of the longest I’ve ever done. It didn’t help that we started off in Amsterdam instead of London or that we had to transit for 8 hours in Lima without being able to get into the airport properly because our 3.30am flight to Cusco counted as a local … Continue Reading
Told you were gonna start doing more and more videos! 😉 Sintra is arguably one of the most beautiful places to visit in all of Portugal and is one that we’ve been raving about for quite some time on here. We got to return to Lisbon this summer and headed straight for Sintra (and the … Continue Reading
Yup! It’s that time of the week/month again! New Video Time! Our YouTube Channel has just been updated with THE FULL VIDEO of our time in the Basque Country. Complete with (awkward) voice-over by me! Check it out and let me know what you think.
This was one thing I was soooo looking forward to long before we arrived in the Maldives! Swimming with Manta Rays in the wild is such an amazing experience and I’d seen so many jealousy-inducing photos and videos before we returned to the Maldives so when we arrived in the Maafushivaru Maldives Resort, an island that’s … Continue Reading
There’s so much more to Greece than just its amazing islands and recently we set out to see just that! See the thing is, in the past, despite the lure of more obvious places like Athens, we’d only ever been to the islands and the other that in mind, we headed off to explore the … Continue Reading
As you already know, the first time we went to Sri Lanka, we were all about the temples and ruins. There were so many amazing UNESCO World Heritage sites across the country that it would be borderline-crazy not to! 🙂 Leaving that first trip, I think it’s fair to say we ended up with temple-fatigue … Continue Reading
Day 2 in Peru. We realise (thankfully, before we left the UK) that due to the fact that our Machu Picchu tickets were for 7am, there was no way we would make the 4 hour train journey on the same day and so we had to arrive a day earlier. You can also do a 4 day … Continue Reading
Our very first video on our new You Tube channel has just been released! Woohoo!!! *falls off chair in excitement* We’re so excited about this new addition to Hand Luggage Only and we promise to start to upload more and more videos and make this a regular thing! For now – here’s our video debut!!! … Continue Reading
You might have already seen the blog posts from our recent trip to the Nordics… If you have, then you don’t need much introduction to this video – it is essentially the video diary from our time in the Nordics (also known to some as Scandinavia). If you haven’t, then fret not – the links are … Continue Reading
New Year, new rickshaw adventures! 😁 This video is some serious farm-to-table video. We’ve literally done, filmed and edited everything in this video within the last 24 hours. Who knows, I may yet master the art of this whole daily vlogging thing. As you probably already guessed from the title, we have indeed returned to … Continue Reading
Prior to a few weeks ago, Fort Lauderdale wasn’t really a place I knew too much of. I think all I knew of it until we actually visited was that it was a place you caught the cruise ships from when you were in Florida. Seeing as I’ve never actually been on a cruise, I … Continue Reading
I spent the better part of the day putting together this video from our recent trip to Bratislava. I know I’m yet to put the full photos up (asides the initial ones here) but I figure one of the best ways to show off a city is via video as it captures angles and aspects … Continue Reading
Edmonton was absolutely amazing to visit and one of the coldest places we’ve ever been – which, by the way, is exactly what we were looking for. In winter, you want the snow to stick around (actually, in London, we’d probably even settle for just a bit of snowfall, especially around the Christmas time) and … Continue Reading
Hand Luggage Only is going to be 1 very soon (yay!!!) and to celebrate, we’ve decided to put together a series of rather personal posts and share more of what goes on behind the scenes of Hand Luggage Only. This is a chance to discuss some more personal stuff that we’ve never really touched on the … Continue Reading
