What Other Authors say

The delicate sensibility of these stories endows them with a gentle honesty.
-- Colin Thubron, award-winning travel writer and novelist --

The stories are delightful shapes of time that leaves an impression that life is very real yet elusive, shifting between transience and permanence. The reader can choose to observe and ponder, or travel and disappear in the stories.
-- Isa Kamari, novelist, essayist, musician and playwright --

If you're looking for the frenetic, the jangling, the adrenaline-filled tales of so much modern travel writing, you've come to the wrong place. To travel with Rumaizah Abu Bakar is to voyage into a world of the quiet and understated, a place where wonder unfurls in fine detail under a gracious and appreciative eye.
-- Carl Hoffman, author of Savage Harvest (2014 NYT bestseller) --

A Labour of Love...

After almost 4 years of a labour of love, I finally get to hold my creation in my hands. Bittersweet memories return, reminding me that though this has not been an easy journey, it has all been worth it in the end. Enjoy these travel tales. 

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank my good friends, Azo Liyana, who designed my beautiful, much-praised book cover, and Fadzlishah Johanabas, who played a big role in helping me take my travel writing to another level.
