Em’s Travel Diary – my own column!!
This year has been great so far for me and I am happy that I am given a chance to write and illustrate in a spread column (2-page) in Gaya Travel magazine. I can never imagine, in a thousand years, that this will be happening.
It all started when a friend, Rayyan Haries, tweeted me about wanting to feature my artwork on the cover of a magazine; Gaya Travel. I later set an appointment with him and met with the Creative Director, Sharm, and we discussed what he had in mind for the magazineβs new look and feel. I showed some of my artwork online and out of spontaneity, Sharm offered me a spread in this magazine to write and draw. Like seriously?
Of course, Iβd be crazy not to accept it…so I said yes! Truly happy and I am very thankful to Rayyan and the Gaya Travel team!
