description: In 2011 Matthew Vaughan moved from the UK to Pakistan, a country widely held to be little more than a hotbed of violence, fanaticism, and danger. What he discovered instead was one of the most fascinating and remarkable countries in the world, full of hospitality, unexpected kindness, and stunning natural beauty.  "Notes From A Sacred Land" is his way of paying tribute to Pakistan and its inhabitants. While it is undeniable that Pakistan has its troubles there is a positive side to life in Pakistan which is rarely, if ever, documented: endless hospitality, remarkable stories of courage and altruism, and a great deal of kindness. In an era of increasing fear and hostility between East and West, and between people of different faiths, "Notes From A Sacred Land" will encourage you, challenge you, and give you hope for the future.
