On one random evening, many moons ago, we decided to we HAD to go to Hawai‘i (fine, “had to” might be a bit strong 😄) and within minutes, we’d booked flights to head out to Hawai’i! (Sidebar: A great deal had popped into my email a few hours prior so the resolve to go to … Continue Reading
These days, there aren’t that many destinations that tend to surprise me. This isn’t because the destinations aren’t amazing or beautiful or dramatic or whatever-else-you’d-look-for-on-your-travels. I think it’s in large part due to being able to do a fair bit of research online, see photos (and videos) before going. This means I tend to arrive … Continue Reading
Now that’s a mouthful of title if ever there was one! Tomorrow, the 1st of July, is Canada Day (well it’s probably already ‘today” in some countries) and it’s not just your average Canada Day – it’s the 150th anniversary of Canada existing as a Confederation (which from what I recall is essentially when all … Continue Reading
As far as Greek holidays go, it’s probably safe to say that the islands (and some of the bigger cities in-land) tend to get most of the attention. Everyone wants (or has) that amazing photo of Santorini, Mykonos or Athens and very little spare a thought for some of the more rustic parts on the … Continue Reading
It’s so easy you don’t even have to lift a finger. I know, crazy right? I have to admit though, I was a bit skeptical at first. I take far too many photos when I travel and so have spent years trying to find the perfect tool to make editing easier. In fact, I remember … Continue Reading
And, just in case you couldn’t tell already, we’re so excited about this! It’s all totally free and all you have to do is click here reserve your place on the Apple website. For starters, partnering with Apple (who, thanks to the fact that we’ve always iPhones and Macbook from our very first day of … Continue Reading
I can’t even begin to tell you how much and for how long I’ve wanted to visit Nepal. It’s been one place I’ve always been fascinated by – in large part due to Mount Everest and the Himalayas) but in other parts due to the absolutely fascinating history of the country. Well, as you can probably … Continue Reading
This one is so easy! There’s literally no tough skill to be learnt here, no tricky unheard-of methods to study here and nothing that a single one of us out there can’t apply straight away. I tend to travel with more than one camera. The camera I use for blog photography is not the same as … Continue Reading
Our recent return to Portugal was certainly something of an eye opener! In addition to visiting a particular favourite of mine (Hey Lisbon), we got to head down to the coast and check out other parts of Portugal that we’d never seen of even heard of just a few months before visiting – it was … Continue Reading
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
Yup! We’re up in the Arctic Circle. I am writing this post looking right outside my window at a snow-clad mountain in one of the most beautiful places (and certainly the highest place) we’ve ever visit – Tromso in Norway. Sounds like a bold claim but I’m gonna put the photos down below and you … Continue Reading
3 years ago, to this day exactly, in my college room back at Cambridge University I found myself with a free day. This almost never happened! See, you know the way you see photos of students at Uni fooling around and kicking it in the pub on a Saturday? That wasn’t our lot on my course. … Continue Reading
This week we’ve returned to Switzerland (as you could probably tell from our Instagram) and for the most part of the week, we’ve basically flitted between the city lights of Zurich (and the tranquil charm of Ascona and Lake Maggiore in Ticino). It has been amazing! The weather has been so good (like ‘middle of … Continue Reading
Before all the jam-packed action in Tokyo and Seoul (…I’ve still got so much to tell you about that trip), we actually started off with a few days in Bilbao. Now Bilbao is a place we’ve only ever visited for the airport alone (it’s the gateway to the Spanish Basque Country) and so we decided … Continue Reading
