Hong Kong, 18 April 2012 ————– Bumbling Through Borneo — the first volume in the award-winning Bumbling Traveller Adventure Series — has been included as one of the Ten Best Books on Borneo in the the 2012 Summer edition of the Borneo Insider’s Guide. Travel writer Peter Adkins reviewed and compiled a listing of books written about Borneo, and described Tom Schmidt’s award-winning book as “Part light-hearted travelogue, part graphic-novel, part responsible-travel treatise; this idiosyncratic tale of one man’s calling from his day-job in Hong Kong to the longhouses and rainforest of Sarawak, engages all senses in telling its author’s story. Packed with witty anecdotes, information on how to stage your own ‘bumble’ and unpretentious environmental advice, by the time you get to the last page you will have been persuaded to quit your own job in favour of a Bornean adventure.”
Published by Kakibubu Media Limited, the Bumbling Traveller Adventure Series seeks to promote environmental and cultural awareness through entertaining mysteries and adventures. The highly-acclaimed series has won various Independent Publisher and Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards. Volume 3 of the series is expected to be released in Summer 2012.
