Finding Myself in Borneo: Sojourns in Sabah is a lively account of a young Canadian's experiences teaching and exploring in Sabah, Malaysia, during 1968-70. As he immerses himself in local culture, learns the language, and bonds with a community, he also embarks on adventures such as climbing Mount Kinabalu and making documentary films. His travels take him to Indonesia, revealing its recent history, and include humorous motorcycle journeys with a friend, all while uncovering a surprising connection to Tolkien's Middle-Earth. The narrative offers a reflective look at his time in Borneo, blending personal stories with broader cultural insights.
