And then when you add all the MVP travel bloggers to the mix, Mediavine is really, truly everywhere!\n\nWe love introducing you to our publishers in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/category\/interview\/publisher-interview\/\">Publisher Interview<\/a> series and telling you more about them, like where they&#8217;re from and how they approach blogging.\n\nToday we&#8217;re excited to be interviewing Yaya and Lloyd of the blog <a href=\"https:\/\/handluggageonly.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hand Luggage Only<\/a>. Based in the U.K., they&#8217;re a fantastic set of travel publishers who are busy conquering the world and helping Mediavine look great.\n\nThanks so much for joining us, Yaya and Lloyd!\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11242 size-mv_create_no_ratio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-IV-735x490.jpg\" alt=\"Yaya and Lloyd of Hand Luggage Only\" width=\"735\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-IV-735x490.jpg 735w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-IV-441x294.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-IV-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-IV-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-IV.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\n<h2>Tell us a little bit about yourself, your family, and your everyday life.<\/h2>\nWe are Yaya and Lloyd and we run our travel blog Hand Luggage Only. We&#8217;re based in London but as travel bloggers we are often in other places around the world. We don&#8217;t have any pets (although the idea of getting a dog sounds amazing).\n<h2>How did you get started blogging?<\/h2>\nWe started blogging whilst at Cambridge University where we had a break in assignments and decided to share some of our photos and advice from our travels. We wanted to meet like-minded travellers that loved to explore and visit new places.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11241 size-mv_create_no_ratio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-III-735x288.png\" alt=\"Hand Luggage Only logo\" width=\"735\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-III-735x288.png 735w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-III-441x173.png 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-III-768x301.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-III-1120x439.png 1120w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-III.png 1279w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\n<h2>How long have you been a Mediavine publisher? How did you first hear about us? What drew you to Mediavine as a partner for display advertising?<\/h2>\nWe&#8217;ve been a Mediavine publisher for two years now. We heard about it at the time through another Mediavine publisher and decided to find out more about it from Mediavine directly.\n\nOne of the best things we liked about Mediavine was that the ads were very well aligned with travel. Equally, Mediavine allows us the flexibility to choose what amount of display ads are good for us.\n<h2>Describe your experience with Mediavine. What do you love about working with us?<\/h2>\nMediavine is always so responsive and they&#8217;re a team that&#8217;s always helped us find the right way to not just work with display ads but to actually optimise our website as a whole. It feels like a fantastic partnership and they catch things that sometimes even the publishers don&#8217;t know about.\n<h2>How has your Mediavine ad revenue changed your life for the better?<\/h2>\nThe extra revenue stream opened up to us by Mediavine has allowed us to properly focus on our work on the website and on being even more selective with the partners we work with and projects we work on. It&#8217;s empowered us as publishers which in turn has allowed us to strengthen the quality of our work.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11247 size-mv_create_no_ratio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/How_To_Beat_Jet_Lag_In_5_Easy_Ways_-_Hand_Luggage_Only_-_Travel__Food___Photography_Blog-735x352.jpg\" alt=\"A screen capture of Hand Luggage Only's website, showing a post for &quot;How to Beat Jet Lag in 5 Easy Ways&quot;.\" width=\"735\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/How_To_Beat_Jet_Lag_In_5_Easy_Ways_-_Hand_Luggage_Only_-_Travel__Food___Photography_Blog-735x352.jpg 735w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/How_To_Beat_Jet_Lag_In_5_Easy_Ways_-_Hand_Luggage_Only_-_Travel__Food___Photography_Blog-441x211.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/How_To_Beat_Jet_Lag_In_5_Easy_Ways_-_Hand_Luggage_Only_-_Travel__Food___Photography_Blog-768x368.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/How_To_Beat_Jet_Lag_In_5_Easy_Ways_-_Hand_Luggage_Only_-_Travel__Food___Photography_Blog-961x460.jpg 961w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/How_To_Beat_Jet_Lag_In_5_Easy_Ways_-_Hand_Luggage_Only_-_Travel__Food___Photography_Blog.jpg 1727w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\n<h2>How do you think the blogging industry has changed since you started your website?<\/h2>\nQuite a lot, actually. There&#8217;s many more bloggers nowadays (which can only be a good thing) and also many more ways to make this a living. When we started, blogging was much more of a hobby and making money off a blog was something that came a bit more as a surprise rather than as a norm.\n<h2>What are the best and worst parts of blogging for you?<\/h2>\nOne of the best things we love about blogging is being able to chat, share and connect with other like-minded travellers all across the globe. The internet has totally changed how we&#8217;re able to make friends and share our experiences&#8230;for the better.\n\nWorst part isn&#8217;t really a &#8216;worst part&#8217; per se. I guess if I had to pick something, it would be the fact that doing something you&#8217;re so passionate about and enjoying it so much means there&#8217;s very little distinction between work and pleasure which could see you working around the clock.\n<h2>What has been your biggest success as an influencer?<\/h2>\nFor us, it&#8217;s being able to help fellow travellers in finding new destinations and experiences (and also learning from them too). That&#8217;s the most important thing to us and the one thing that keeps resonating with us.\n\nIt&#8217;s always so lovely (and such a huge high) to hear from people who&#8217;ve taken our advice and planned their travel around it and always nice to talk to other like-minded travellers about our and their travel experiences.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11240 size-mv_create_no_ratio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-II-735x1307.jpg\" alt=\"A top down view of Yaya and Lloyd enjoying a sunny day on a sand bar.\" width=\"735\" height=\"1307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-II-735x1307.jpg 735w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-II-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-II-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-II-259x460.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-II.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\n<h2>Who are your FAVORITE bloggers. Who inspires you? Why do you like them?<\/h2>\nHa! I can&#8217;t name favourites \u2014 there are quite a few bloggers out there (and not just travel bloggers) that we absolutely love. Some we know personally, some we&#8217;ve never met but all of whom add something interesting to the conversation around travel and I guess, just generally keep things interesting.\n<h2>What are the most popular 3 posts on your blog?<\/h2>\nThis is so seasonal and varies based on which destination we&#8217;re in that it&#8217;s hard to name 3. I guess the most popular ones are the ones that make people curious \u2014 either because it&#8217;s a place not many people have visited or because it&#8217;s a different perspective on a popular place.\n<h2>What are your 3 personal favorite posts on your blog?<\/h2>\nGosh, this is hard to choose as it changes every other day. The personal posts tends to be our favourites as we pour our heart and soul into the experiences which then spills over into the story-telling. The personal stuff is always the stuff that I love to read back too as it&#8217;s like looking through an old photo album so it&#8217;s our favourite!\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11243 size-mv_create_no_ratio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-V-735x1103.jpg\" alt=\"Yaya walking through the halls of Herrenchiemsee Palace in Germany.\" width=\"735\" height=\"1103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-V-735x1103.jpg 735w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-V-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-V-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-V-307x460.jpg 307w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-V.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\n<h2>What tools and resources do you use to manage your blog? What could you not live without? Why?<\/h2>\nOur phones! I know we should probably say some app or something like that but to be honest, the apps are pretty regular stuff (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest&#8230;etc). The real game changer is being able to take this on the road with us (which is why we always look for the biggest screens and largest memory size possible so we can do so much more with our phones.)\n<h2>What is your biggest traffic source? What strategies have you used to make that your top traffic source?<\/h2>\nPinterest. To be honest, none really. As a hobbyist, we never proactively looked to grow traffic (we were just blogging for fun), things just happened organically, which now makes me even more excited because I realise there&#8217;s so much more room for growth with such amazing advice out there now on how to properly use SEO and even to properly optimise Pinterest and Facebook.\n<h2>Do you have any advice for bloggers on how to grow their traffic?<\/h2>\nWrite for human beings. Always.\n<h2>Anything else you&#8217;d like to add to help other bloggers grow?<\/h2>\nBe original. It&#8217;s far more interesting to just be you and will keep people around for much longer.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11239 size-mv_create_no_ratio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-I-735x490.jpg\" alt=\"Yaya and Lloyd sitting at a dining table atop a boat.\" width=\"735\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-I-735x490.jpg 735w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-I-441x294.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-I-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-I-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Hand-Luggage-Only-I.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\n<h2>What&#8217;s the one thing on any restaurant menu you MUST order?<\/h2>\nCr\u00e9me Br\u00fbl\u00e9e.\n<h2>What actor would play you in a movie based on your life and career?<\/h2>\nHaha!
