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
One place I’d always wanted to visit in Norway was Tromso. It’s one of the highest places you can visit – not just in Europe but in the world, so much so that it’s in the Arctic circle! Unlike other parts of the Arctic circle, there’s no chance of you running into polar bears here … Continue Reading
As our lives become ever more hectic and busy, it really is important that we all make that quality ‘me time’ that often comes (albeit not exclusively) with travel. It doesn’t matter where you choose to go, how you do it or even if you stay close to home – travel, gives us the opportunity to … Continue Reading

At first thought, Iceland may not seem like an ideal place to go wandering off on a hike. The clue is in the name after all. But this is the thing with Iceland; the weather isn’t nearly as extreme as you’d think, especially so in the summertime. Hiking in Iceland is something you can do … Continue Reading
The city of Edmonton in Canada is not necessarily the city everyone might have a ready-made travel plan and itinerary. Vancouver, perhaps or even Toronto but seeing as we had to get one together after visiting recently, and one that saw us make the most of the season we visited in, I figured it was … Continue Reading
Personally, I’m more of a summer kinda guy but the best thing to do with any season, regardless of personal preference, is always to make the most of it. This is no more true than during winter. In summer, get outside, have as many alfresco lunches as you dare and spent many lazy weekends napping … Continue Reading
How to beat jet lag is something that’s absolutely worth every traveller having in their bag of tricks, especially so you can make the most of your travels. Alas, it’s also one that, can sometimes prove the trickiest to master. (*Tricky but not impossible! 😉) A little over a week ago, I was in the … Continue Reading
I have a confession to make. I have never been skiing. Initially, I just couldn’t be arsed with the cold – actually, that coupled with the fact that I’m not the most graceful person on ice generally put me off wanting to ski.

A visit to the Faroe Islands has always been a dream of mine… ever since I discovered all about them many a year ago!

In fact, there’s a … Continue Reading
This was already high up on my list of unique experiences in Iceland and regardless of the weather, we were intent on doing it. Turns out, the weather was indeed awful everywhere else but when we turned up the rather scenic drive to Hestheimar, the weather quite literally took a turn for the better. Yes, … Continue Reading
The likes of the Swedish cities, like Stockholm, is totally amazing but there’s so much more to the country than just its capital city. Not only is there a heap of the best towns in Sweden, but there’s also a heap fo stunning places in Sweden that you kinda can’t miss. Plus, if that wasn’t … Continue Reading
Just like we named our blog… Yaya and I always travel with “Hand Luggage Only”… Although we have broken our rules on a few, exceptional cases! One was when we headed to see the Northern Lights in Iceland and our camera equipment wouldn’t fit in the cabin of the aircraft! The other time was all … Continue Reading
