Who are the bear and the pig?

We are Rich and Miranda, the British-Chinese couple who are the brains and madness behind this blog.

We met in Beijing in 2015 and have been traveling, exploring and eating our way across the planet ever since.

Our different cultural backgrounds bring two unique views on travel, food, and culture itself. To complement these amazing differences, we write in both English and Mandarin.

Since Miranda is Chinese and Rich has lived in Beijing since 2011,  our blog has a number of areas that are more China-focused. Enjoy our sections on Chinese culture and Chinese social media for a glimpse of some of the things that make China a truly complex and fascinating land.

If travel is what you came for check out our destinations or photography tabs at the top.

You can follow us on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter or you can email us on abearandabig@gmail.com

We hope you enjoy the site.
