Photography is an art-form that we all can relate with. After all, we’re all snapping on our phones, cameras and any other gadget that has a lens. This is exactly why I wanted to share some of the best places to travel for epic photos. You see, when people say a photograph is a worth … Continue Reading
Cape Town was one of the biggest travel surprises for me. It’s a place I only added to our travel itinerary because the three of us (Lloyd, Georgia and I) we wanted to do and see something in South Africa, in addition to going on safari (which was the main reason why we were in South … Continue Reading
Over the course of the past year, we’ve not so secretly been gigging as guest blogger for Bravofly. It has been so much fun writing for this amazing company and even better still when they sent us on the trip of a lifetime across Italy this year on a 3-wheeled rickshaw! I’d so wanted to do … Continue Reading
You didn’t think we’d head off into the New Year without a round up of 2015 now, did you? 😉 This year on Hand Luggage Only has been quite special in so many ways – we’ve gotten to travel to so many amazing destinations, made so many new friends, eaten so many delicious meals, had so … Continue Reading
When we booked our flights to South Africa, I took it for granted that organising the details of our safari would be the least of my worries. Having travelled quite a bit, booking hotels seemed like second-nature, the hardest part really was finding a place that you like (which is easy enough in itself), the … Continue Reading
You’re getting hitched! Congratulations! Mazel tov! The question has been popped and you’re both almost going to run down that aisle! It’s a pretty exciting time that’s filled with lots of emotions, memories and a pinch lot of stress. This is exactly why I wanted to share some of the best honeymoon destinations to visit … 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
Colour tends to speak for itself. There’s never a real need to explain the appeal of a colourful travel destination. Photos of the colourful city/town/village in question is enough to beguile travellers the world over! I’ve always been a fan of colours. At home, on my travels… even in my food and looking back at my … Continue Reading
This is a quick one! The afternoon actually started off in Muizenberg… …swiftly followed by a visit to Boulder’s Beach to see the penguins. And although a visit to the Cape Peninsula was ultimately where we were headed to, a little stopover in Simon’s Town is definitely worth it on your drive outside of Cape Town. … Continue Reading
I’ve done so many blog posts on this but I’ve finally gotten round to editing the video from our trip! 🙂 When we were in Italy I ended up going way overboard with the videos and photos I was taking and it was only when I got home and had to sift through hours of … Continue Reading
Now, as the Kurumba has a lot of choice on offer and we had very limited time to sample all the choices, we had a greedy modern take on dinner. How? By having starters in one restaurant, mains from another and dessert for a third! Even with that though (and lunch from an entirely different … Continue Reading
It’s probably safe to say the idea of watching your typical Rugby match in London, is something of a no-brainer. You buy your tickets, you show up (probably dressed in your fave supporting gear finery), watch the game (perhaps, drink in hand) and head home when the game is over. There’s not a whole lot … Continue Reading
We were justifiably excited about our weekend trip to New York. After all, we were going to be off exploring the buzzing and unbelievably vibrant and best areas of New York. The city that never sleeps, the big smoke, the Big Apple. 🍎 After our (almost 1k km) rickshaw across Italy, we had precisely seven … Continue Reading
Travelling is truly an experience that enrichens you. Exploring new cultures, seeing exciting new sights and tasting food that goes beyond what is typically conveniently available to you definitely comes with the benefit of expanding your horizon and generally being fun! That being said, I’m not now, nor have I ever been – a one … Continue Reading
