Stories From The East

I found the book enlightening and while I enjoyed Kassim’s journey as I read, it was how she presented her experiences that I found most interesting.

An all-encompassing travelogue in its soul and spirit! Beautifully written with pictures that adorn the narration way beyond its limit! You can buy the book from Amazon/Kindle.

The USP of travel books is that the more you engage with it, the longer it keeps you entwined. As a matter of fact, I was drawn to the book Places & Places upon seeing it Saharian dessert cover page, besides the author did a wonderful job by including pictures of all places that she went to.
