Hi! We are Bruce & Fung Moore, a Canadian-Indonesian couple who wish to share our experiences, pictures and travel knowledge on this blog. Along with our son Max, we visit both popular destinations as well as those off the beaten path, usually driving for ourselves, trying to learn a bit of the local lingo, immersing ourselves in regional cuisine, marvelling at the scenery and enjoying nature. We hope to inform, entertain and inspire others to set out towards the horizon and broaden their minds through travel. We do not simply write about how fantastic every destination is, since travel tends to mix great experiences with others that are memorable for less appealing reasons. We research diligently beforehand and then travel with cultural curiosity, open minds and open hearts as our well-laid plans invariably change along the road.

If you have ever wondered what a tiny picture-perfect alpine village stuffed to the proverbial gills with Asian tourists looks like, this is the place.
This achingly-scenic partially-collapsed caldera in the Greek Cyclades is certainly the most distinctive island in Greece. It is also possibly the most popular, being a true bucket list destination.
If you answering the call of nature on any flight while the shades are down in the main cabin, it's always worth it to take a peek out the windows at the back of the plane. Most flights from Vancouver to Asia leave in the middle of the night, but there are some...
