Biographie:
Isabel Albiston: Since her first trip to Malaysia six years ago, Isabel has grown to love clambering up slippery trails on sweaty jungle hikes. After three months exploring Borneo's forests and longhouses, feasting on Sarawak laksa, downing shots of tuak, dancing at the Rainforest World Music Festival and dropping in on the sultanat his palace in Brunei, the temptation to stay nearly won out. Isabel is a journalist who has written fora number of newspapers and magazines including the UK's Daily Telegraph. Loren Bell fell in love with Kalimantan during his three years managing a remote rainforest research station, and has returned every year since. For this book he stoically slept in hotels (on real beds !) and ate in actual restaurants before darting back to the jungle in search of more remote Dayak villages and the forest pondok where he feels most at ease. He also writes about Indonesia's environment and consults for NGOs working to protect Kalimantan's forests. Richard Waters is an award-winning journalist and writes about travel for The Daily Telegraph, The Independent and Sunday Times, Sunday Times Travel Magazine, Elle and National Geographic Traveller. He lives with his family in the Cotswolds, UK, and when he's not travelling, loves surfing and timing. Exploring Sabah was an absolute joy, his favourite moments being watching sharks in Sipadan, and seeing the sun rise over the jungle in the Danum Valley. He also writes a family wellbeing, adventure blog called Soul Tonic for Sanlam Bank.
