For our trip to Turkey, we decided to go for the  Rixos Gocek Premium Suite and Villas. Another brilliant find by Lloyd, I must add. 🙂 The hotel is actually located in Gocek and not in Dalaman but it’s a short 30-minute ride from the airport in Dalaman so we at the hotel before we … Continue Reading

After leaving the secret beach and heading back to the hotel, I decided to dawdle around the hotel, cocktail and camera in hand. Or maybe it was wine? Aaaww who cares? It went down a treat with that sunset and that’s what truly matters. 😉 🙂 I figured I might as well take you on a little … Continue Reading

For almost half a year, we called Singapore home and what a glorious half a year it was. Elements of Singapore were reminiscent of being home in London (the diversity of people and food on offer for starters) though for the most part Singapore has its own unique feel. It’s easily a city/country that I’d move … Continue Reading

I spoke earlier on about when we arrived in Turkey and I found out about the ‘Secret Beach’ (which quite frankly wasn’t really much of a secret but that’s a good thing). Well, as it turns out, to get the best spot on the beach, you need to make a reservation at the hotel to … Continue Reading

It’s safe to say that upon our return from “the secret beach” I was well and truly rested! I remember trying to throw in a quick instagram update and falling asleep. I don’t even think I’d composed two words in the caption before dozing off. Thankfully though I managed to get up on time for dinner! Random … Continue Reading

If you’ve been on our Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, you’ll probably have been inundated with so many photos from the Maldives… If you haven’t well this post is for you – we’re in the Maldives as it’s as beautiful as they all said it would be! (Oh, and we’re also on Snapchat with username “HandLuggageOnly”) … Continue Reading

Hello from Sri Lanka! SO as you already know after our time in the Maldives, we headed straight for Sri Lanka (which is only 1.5 hours away) and this time we’ve gotten to experience a totally different way of travelling with Evaneos Travel. The thing about Sri Lanka is that although there are 4 of … Continue Reading

Istanbul is a real gem of a city to explore! Now, it may not be the capital of Turkey but, there’s a whole heap of amazing and some of the best things to do in Istanbul that are dotted far and wide across the city. A few moons ago, We had the best time exploring … Continue Reading

I’ll be the first to admit, before moving to live in Singapore, I can’t say I knew much about this tiny country. I had a friend living there who gave me a quick low-down on what areas to look for apartments in and told me how safe it all was…etc but that was about it. I … Continue Reading

After a few days in Madrid (and a quick stopover for a few hours back at home in London), we finally headed out to the Maldives! I can’t even pretend! I’d been looking forward to this trip for quite a while so I was justifiably excited when it finally arrived. A few movies, a snooze and a ‘couple’ of … Continue Reading

Despite heading to bed fairly late on my first night in the Maldives, the jet lag got the better of me and fight it as I tried, I just couldn’t go back to sleep and so I decided to head out on my bicycle to watch the sunrise.  I literally jumped out of bed, in my PJs, … Continue Reading

On our final day at the Dusit Thani Maldives, we decided to make the most of the infinity pool and so we got up bright and early! Had breakfast and headed down to the pool. The thing is, the snorkelling here is so great that the infinity pool had kinda been overlooked from our end … Continue Reading

Now where was I? Oh yes, just as the sun was setting, we were off to find our new home in the Maldives – The Angsana Ihuru. Little did we know what they had in store for us… Our excitement meant that we could barely sit down in the boat as we edge close and closer … Continue Reading

It is hard to relax on the beach when there’s so much amazing stuff to see around you and so, despite enjoying the  down time chilling with cocktails by the beach, we decided we had to go snorkelling.   We’d been told so much about the amazing house reef here and knew we had to … Continue Reading
