“Reaching the One Million Milestone”

Today, we received exciting news—Hand Luggage Only has reached 1 million page views per month. It’s amazing and hard to wrap my head around since imagining a million of anything is quite overwhelming. This achievement has kept a big smile on our faces all day!

Even though I usually don’t focus on numbers, I have to make an exception this time—hitting the 1 million mark is a significant milestone! I recall talking to someone not long ago about the blog reaching this point, and he laughed it off. Moments like today make me realize that we shouldn’t let others define our limits. Often, those limits say more about them than us.

Interestingly, the first big event for the blog also happened in Lisbon. At the time, I thought the site was hacked, but it turned out an article had gone viral. Now, reaching this milestone while being back in Lisbon feels like everything has come full circle.

Of course, the reason we’ve achieved this milestone is entirely due to you. The 1 million milestone happened because of your reading, sharing, and support. This achievement is as much about you as it is about us, and we are incredibly grateful to be part of this growing community of travelers. We can’t thank you enough for helping us turn a small idea into something significant.

I’ll wrap it up here, but thank you again for making this milestone possible!
