It is a collection of travel books featuring Schmidt's sketches and watercolor paintings, besides notes taken during extensive journeys and holidays. "They are a fun memory of my travels," Schmidt admits.

His latest book, The Bumbling Traveller, is dedicated to his daughter and budding artist Catherine: "I want to show her where I have been, and that there is a big world to explore. And I hope to inspire people to understand different cultures and environmental issues, such as deforestation in Borneo."
