Today, we got an alert saying that Hand Luggage Only (yup, the very same one you’re reading this on right now), just hit the 1 million monthly page views milestone. 1 Million!!! WOW!!! 🎉 I can’t even fully process it – mostly because I can’t picture 1 million of one thing in the same place. … 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
Asides, the obvious partying of course! Thing is, there’s so much more to see and do when you visit Cancun than hitting up ‘Dah club’ and we’ve put together a little video just showing off some of these. There’s so much more to see in Cancun, even beyond these 5 things but if you can … Continue Reading
The second part of our recent trip to the Maldives is here!!! 🙂 This time we changed home from this one to the Velassaru Maldives. There’s something so exciting about arriving at a new island in the Maldives. New restaurants to discover (i.e. new attempts to try to eat my weight in delicious foods), new … Continue Reading
Now although we flew into Puno from Cusco to see Lake Titicaca, we’d been told the train journey from Puno back to Cusco was one of the prettiest, not just in the country but in the world. *Sidebar – we actually flew into Juliaca and then took a long taxi ride to Puno. It’s a … Continue Reading
Another day, another rickshaw adventure! This time though, the sun came out to play… and even better still, we stumbled upon an amazing surprise in the Italian countryside – in huge part thanks to us taking a wrong turn and ending up in a town we had no plans to visit. (That’s definitely one of … Continue Reading
And no, that is not a typo. A few days ago, we got to try out a rather different gift-giving service called Tinggly. The idea behind Tinggly is that you can buy a gift for loved ones without really having to decide what the gift is. This makes it particularly handy when it comes to … Continue Reading
Geneva turned out to be quite the most fantastic surprise! Thing is, I’ve always associated Geneva with being a destination where you go to spoil yourself silly. Luxury watches, delicious chocolates and indulgent shopping all spring to mind when I think of Geneva but when we visited this amazing Swiss city for the very first, we ended … Continue Reading
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
For starters – very hard! Not impossible (far from actually) but still hard. The trail itself is actually easy enough, it’s never so steep that you can’t handle it – what truly gets you is the fact that you’re in one of the highest altitudes in the world (even higher than Machu Picchu or Cusco) … Continue Reading
As you already know, we recently visited Verona – an absolutely beautiful city perched about halfway between the more popular cities of Milan and Venice on a surprise trip with srprs.me. Why we hadn’t visited before I have no idea but when we visited, I very quickly realised we’d been missing out on a major … 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
Europe is fun enough and well known enough to already be on your travel plans (even if you are European). There’s a lot to see and do here and even if you’re the pickiest of travellers, its easy to find a reason to want to visit Europe. It’s also fairly easy to do so as … Continue Reading
We’ve raved about these islands so much on here and we’ve finally gotten round to putting together our video from our visit to the Isles of Scilly! The beaches are incredible here, the water is crystal clear one of the most Southern parts of England you can visit, the warm winds (a-la the Gulf stream) … Continue Reading
