[- Samai Haider I am Samai, an Economist by profession. But secreted away behind the mask of an analyst is my creative alter ego, one which continually strives to fulfil my unbridled passion for writing, travel and art. I’ve plied my trade around the world as a climate change economist, journalist, writer, editor, amateur artist and photographer. Having travelled to nearly 50 countries, and lived in three, I spin stories about my experiences, to inform and inspire others to see the world. I am Bangladeshi-Australian, and when I’m not traipsing around the world, I split my time between Dhaka and Melbourne. Get in touch if you’d like to work with me, as I continue my quest to find new adventures, now with a family in tow, and chronicle them for fellow travel enthusiasts. “Though smartly structured and skilfully written, the real joy of Samai’s post is its subject matter: the way a shared passion can connect a stranger from halfway around the world with local people, despite language and cultural barriers.” – Lonely Planet “Samai is living proof that travelling with young children is not only possible, but may just be the most rewarding decision ever.” – Louise Bastock, Lonely Planet Top Posts What Bourdain Taught Me Walking Dhaka 12 Tips for Flying with a Baby A Taste of the Surreal On the Hunt for Dragons: Hiking Through Komodo Island PRE-ORDER NOW!
