“The true voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes” - Marcel Proust. This famous saying always flashes into my mind whenever someone asks me the reason for my great passion for travelling. Yes, I must admit that travelling is my energy, but it is not the fact that I’m going to a new place, it is how my perception of the world changes every time I encounter with a different culture or experience a new way of life in a foreign land. In all my journeys, like many others, the camera is a perfect companion because it gives me the best way to capture and reserve the precious moments which might not repeat themselves another time. Others may want to call them memories, but I prefer to call them in my own way – the moments of emotions. In this photo book, I collect all the greatest moments which I have caught in my trip to Malaysia last year. It was a wonderful opportunity for me being able to experience such a mixture of feelings in a foreign country, the excitement, the admiration, the strangeness, and even the familiarity. Welcome to my world and join me for this exploration!
