Author Bio
Martin Uitz died on 13 January 2007 aged 54 unexpectedly of heart failure while trekking the Nepalese Himalayas in the presence of his wife Renee. She said: 'We are grateful that he quit this life peacefully and without pain, accompanied by the sounds of Buddhist prayers amidst his well-loved mountains. His whole life Martin was a traveller between many worlds and has taught us to encounter the world with curiosity, tolerance and compassion.' In accordance with her wishes this book will be published simultaneously in the UK and in Bhutan in Martin Uitz's memory.
