About the Author: Everywhere he goes, Daniel is quietly reminded of the adage attributed to St Augustine: "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page". And so it was with St Augustine’s maxim echoing in his mind that he decided along with his wife, Kathryn, that they would embark on a round-the-world trip in July 2011.

      Thanks, Gaby, for the kind words. When we finally depart, Indonesia—and Bali—are firmly within are ‘must-visits’. Perhaps we’ll all get a chance to meet up!
