Thomas Schmidt, managing director of Sepia Design Consultants, is into making sketches and watercolor paintings of the iconic structures he comes across on his travels. He has compiled these images and notes into a book called The Bumbling Traveller. [PHOTO PROVIDED TO CHINA DAILY]

It is a collection of travel books featuring Schmidt's sketches and watercolor paintings, besides notes taken during extensive journeys and holidays. "They are a fun memory of my travels," Schmidt admits.

His latest book, The Bumbling Traveller, is dedicated to his daughter and budding artist Catherine: "I want to show her where I have been, and that there is a big world to explore. And I hope to inspire people to understand different cultures and environmental issues, such as deforestation in Borneo."
