Actually, the project was initiated about 2 years ago. By my wife and myself.
Why another travel book? Valid question, and an equally valid question would be have we ever written anything before? What shall it be about, when it is going to be ( if ever ) completed?
We have read, and benefited immensely from the known travel guides..Lonely planet, Rough Guides, Fodder's, AA, Michelin and various others.. too numerous to mention.
Most, if not all, of them have been written by ' White ' people and a very few, by those who have acquired citizenship of predominantly ' White countries '.
What is it like for a ' non-white ' especially Middle Eastern couple to travel abroad? We are a team..me I love photography, she loves adventure.
So what is ( and was ) it like for us pursuing our love for travel in a post 9/11 era.
This book is first and foremost a book of photography of different cultures, people, landscapes, mountain climbing, white water rafting..Climbing the Sydney Bridge, to spending night at Tibetan Monastries. It is about our experiences, our suggestions and our photographs.
The first chapter is nearing completion....
1. Applying for Visas and our Experiences at the Borders ( Ports of Entry ).
More to follow....
