Future Projects

Ruth Lor Malloy is thinking about writing several 
books and needs your input on what direction 
she should take.

 

 

 

One book would be about travel writing that will focus on how you too can travel extensively and cheaply based on Ruth's own experiences. It would include how she started traveling and writing in the 1950s and how her China guide books evolved. It would reveal why she picks some hotels to mention and not others. It would be about her experiences in other countries as well as China. 

Ruth has spent a summer in the Canadian Arctic, and months in voluntary work camps in Mexico, Brazil, Japan, and among the Doukhobors in Canada. She has been deeply involved in helping a Hijra transvestite sect in India. She has hitchhiked through the dangerous Khyber Pass between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and slept in a Cambodia police station. She spent almost two years in Vietnam during the war in the 1960s and has lived in Japan, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, India, the U.S. and Canada. She has trekked in Mustang (Nepal) and scuba dived in Micronesia. She has raised three children, and most recently celebrated her 70th birthday by camping and traveling 26 days in Tibet. 

Ruth started out in a small town in Canada where her family ran a restaurant and a reporter speaking at a high school vocational guide course told her she couldn't be a journalist because she was Chinese. 

She has since written for the Asian Wall Street Journal, Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, Copley News Service and many other periodicals, She has been to 51 countries and intends to add some more. 

Ruth has strong opinions about the most satisfying way to travel and is happy to share them.
