About us and our Blog,
Margot and I have been married for over four decades and now we have reached a time in our lives when travel and leisure pursuit have become a regular possibility. We’re proud to say that we have almost 70 years of combined public service within our chosen professions in Alberta and BC. Our greatest pride and accomplishment however has been raising our children. We have been blessed with two wonderful and successful children that have provided the real meaning in our lives. They have expanded and enriched our family with two magnificent spouses and two amazing grandsons. We hope to spend as much retirement time as possible sharing in their journey.
Another significant retirement goal has been to travel and see as much of our world as possible. We enjoy motorcycles, boating, and even walking but our favorite way of exploring is on four wheels. A longtime dream of ours has been to wander about Europe in our own motorhome for an extended period of time and experience the inexhaustible sights, history, and culture that it has to offer. To this end, we set our travel sights on 2014 and purchased a motorhome in Germany in the early spring and traveled Europe until late November. Our return home was from west to east by way of Thailand, Viet Nam, China, and Japan. We returned to Europe in 2016 for four months spending most of that time traveling in a motorhome through Great Britain. We have now decided to spend some time on our own continent exploring North America in a motorhome that we purchased in February 2017. We understand that ambitious plans must remain flexible as circumstances and desires do sometimes change over time but for now we’ll keep on the move as much as possible for as long as possible.
The main purpose of this “Bruma Blog” is to provide a means of staying in touch with our family and friends as we spend the next number of years capitalizing on our good health and freedom. This Blog will also function as a personal diary providing us with a photo record of events and limited details of our trips. Our Blog is for anyone that may be interested in following along in our adventures and we invite you to join us at any time. Please feel free to post a comment if you wish. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for following!
Bruce & Margot
PS: Prior to our 2014 Europe trip, I’ll be developing my Blogging skills by posting some local experiences.

Hi Bruma. Looks like you’ve had many adventures these past few years. All the best with your next trip once it’s safer to do so and all the best capturing it all on your new waterproof Nikon camera. Maybe look into doing some video clips of your adventures too, it’s a great little device for 4K video (4x the quality of HD).
