For many people, travelling has become a race to cram as many famous or historical places into an itinerary as possible. Eager to see as much of a country as they can, most tourists hop by an attraction for just enough time to take a few photographs, or capture an Instagram story, and then immediately rush to the next one, barely taking any time to be in the moment.

Local photographer Amani Azlin is not a fan of this speedy form of sightseeing. Instead, she prefers the idea of “slow travel”, where she can take her time when exploring a new place to deeper understand its essence, or reveal hidden sides of it.
