There are so many best places in Norway to visit. I mean, you’ve got the Troms region in the very north, Alesund on the west coast and lovely little places like Flåm that are nestled deep in the mountains. Plus, don’t even get me started with all the incredible fjords you should visit. The whole … Continue Reading
If you’re planning on visiting the UK (or if you already live in the UK) then you should definitely try to see at least one. Each one of these buildings is impressive in its own rights and forms such a strong part of the UK’s history that you would be hard-pressed not to love. You … Continue Reading
I said it before and I’ll say it again, our English road trip had been a long time coming! Granted we only had 4 days (3 nights) this time but we managed to squeeze out as much of Southern England as we could within the 4 days! London bade us farewell with the most dramatic … Continue Reading
It is one of those big life decisions, proposing to your partner! It’s exciting, nerve-racking and loving. Though, like any great plan, you’ll need to do a little digging to find the best places to propose across the world. This is exactly why I wanted to share some of the very best places to propose … Continue Reading
Let’s jump into it, shall we? 1.) Kicking things off is this amazingly warm and spacious apartment with a lovely cosy feel! It gives the feeling of being a family home (and child friendly) but that open fire place says otherwise. Big plus point, you get lots of light and direct sunlight into the flat! … Continue Reading
On our final morning in the Jurassic Coast, after breakfast similar to the one the day before (see it here), we bade farewell to the Hix Townhouse and hit the road, heading back slowly up to London. We drove by some cute villages but decided this time not to stop – there was one place … Continue Reading
** Competitions now closed** I’m a sucker for freebies! I love exploring new places but love doing this, even more, when you get it for free (or at a fraction of the price). If you’re reading this now, its probably a safe bet that you also love exploring new places too and will do so … Continue Reading
*Due to the large size, this post has been split into two parts. Click here for Part 2. It started, like most of our travel plans usually do, when Yaya and I got itchy feet over dinner. Somehow, Denmark always seemed to be on my; Yes, I will go there soon, type of country. Yet, … Continue Reading
Arriving in the Dordogne Valley, I had no idea what to expect. We’d flown in from London after almost 2 months of travelling and this time, I’d left most of the planning to Lloyd. I was knackered upon arrival in Brive and pretty much slept all of the way from the airport till we got to … 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
This is something that has been playing on my mind for some time now and so, if you decide to carry on reading, I’m just gonna thank you in advance for being my sounding board! Also, I’m really keen to find out what you think about the whole thing. I’m gonna try to keep it … Continue Reading
For me, Norway’s true appeal lies far from the bright lights of its cities, like Oslo (though that’s amazing too). That being said, Bergen is a bit of an exception though with its UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen and this amazing view at Floyen. Seriously, nowhere else in the world looks or feels just like … Continue Reading
I’d been meaning to do this post since I moved into the flat in London somehow just managed to keep procrastinating on it and today I just figured I might as well just go ahead and do it. I’m going a bit more personal today and I’m gonna share with you snippets from my home. … Continue Reading
I consider myself to be something of an inconsistent snorer. On the whole, I don’t regularly snore however I’ve found that over the last few years (and for some reason, particular exacerbated since I moved to London) that I have moments where I become that guy that snores and either amuses or frustrates everyone else … Continue Reading
