I’m a half-Malay British guy from the South of England. I’m a writer and educator with a lifelong passion for wildlife. I don’t get back to Malaysia as often as I would like.

This blog is an attempt to parlay my interests in natural history, martial arts, and Malaysian/South-East Asian culture into something interesting, but  most importantly it is an attempt to justify spending a small fortune on books!

My posts will aim to showcase little-known bits and pieces from these fields, preserve some obscure history and perhaps raise some awareness of the region’s rich biodiversity and culture. Thanks for reading! If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or just want to chat to a fellow enthusiast, please get in touch – I’d be delighted to hear from you.
