Today, we got an alert saying that Hand Luggage Only (yup, the very same one you\u2019re reading this on right now), just hit the 1 million monthly page views milestone.<\/p>\n

1 Million!!! WOW!!! \ud83c\udf89<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t even fully process it \u2013 mostly because I can\u2019t picture 1 million of one thing in the same place. It\u2019s absolutely incredible and has left us with a huge smile on our faces all day!<\/p>\n

Now for someone who says they don\u2019t like to talk much about numbers, I\u2019m only too aware of the irony of this blog post (there is a lot more to travel and blogging than just numbers) but I\u2019m gonna have to make an exception here \u2013 this is a big one!!! \ud83d\ude42 1 MILLION!<\/p>\n

I remember not to long ago when I was speaking to a guy about the blog and I mentioned something about the blog potentially hitting the 1 million monthly mark. He quite literally laughed in my face\u2026 then today happened and it reminded me of how little you should pay attention to people\u2019s ideas of limits. The limits tend to be more about them and not about you.<\/p>\n

Funnily enough, the first time anything big happened on the blog was actually in Lisbon (it was that time I though the website was hacked but it turns out<\/a>,<\/strong> an article had gone viral) and so it seems so apt to have hit that milestone being back in Lisbon (and at the Four Seasons Lisbon no less #HumbleBrag \u2013 haha!)<\/p>\n

But the real reason behind the 1 million of course if quite literally YOU! Like the 1 million didn\u2019t just happen on its own \u2013 it happened thanks to you. You read, shared, commented and generally supported the blog all the way through to where we are right now and the 1 million milestone is every bit about you as it is about us. We are so grateful to be a part of this ever-growing community of travellers and can\u2019t thank you enough for helping us create something out of seemingly nothing.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m gonna stop here but thanks again for such an amazing milestone!<\/p>\n

*P.S.: Below are two photos from the very first trip we took together – long before we even thought of starting Hand Luggage Only<\/a> – boy has our waistline expanded since then! <\/em>\ud83d\ude01\ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n
