We are Emma Holmbro and Ake Dahllof. We live in Stockholm, Sweden. We have travelled more or less regularly since the mid 1990-ies and it seems like the more we travel the more difficult it is to decide where to go next. Not because we are running out of places to visit but because we find more places we want to go to faster than we manage to travel to them.

It is very special
Borobudur is a very special temple. Inside each one of those cupolas there is a Buddha statue. /Ake

Borobudur
The end of the Buddhist trail from India to Angkor Wat to Borobudur. One of the great achievements of restoration to this marvel surrounded by the necklace of volcanoes. Great pic for your memories Ake.

Imagine if we could be there today
Imagine what it would be to visit all of the greatest historical sites today when hardly anyone is travelling. Forbidden City, Great Wall of China, Angkor, Borobudur, Petra, Pyramids of Egypt, Venice, Taj Mahal, Machu Picchu... Many of these places we could have more or less for ourselves... It would have been interesting. Thanks for commenting our blog. /Ake
