A nomad at heart, Michael Buckley has travelled widely in the Himalayas, Central Asia, and South Asia. He is author of a number of books to these regions, including Eccentric Explorers: wild and wacky adventurers of the Tibetan plateau; Shangri-La: a Travel Guide to the Himalayan Dream; and the Bradt guidebook to Tibet. As well as being a writer, Buckley is a passionate photographer and filmmaker. He is filmmaker for two short documentaries. Meltdown in Tibet is about dams and water problems on the Tibetan plateau. From Nomad to Nobody is about the plight of the vanishing nomads of Tibet. See the official website: www.WildYakFilms.com/.
As a keen trekker, kayaker, diver and wildlife enthusiast, Buckley's travels have taken him worldwide in quest of tracking unusual creatures to their lairs--which has resulted in the short work, Beastly Encounters.
