Walkabout Asia is a documentary-led media company dedicated to uncovering the stories, cultures, and communities that shape Asia.

Our work spans documentary production, cultural research, archiving, media consultation, impact storytelling, educational initiatives, and community-based engagement.

From remote indigenous settlements to major urban institutions, we help partners document lived realities, preserve cultural knowledge, and communicate complex narratives with clarity and humanity.

Walkabout Asia's projects have engaged communities across Malaysia and the wider Asian region, contributing to conversations around culture, heritage, environment, tourism, identity, and social change.

Some stories disappear not because they are unimportant but because no one stays long enough to document them. Through documentary, field notes, archives, and public storytelling, Walkabout Asia builds a living record of Asia in transition.

We work in the field to observe how knowledge moves through people, places, tools, food, practice, and everyday life.

We believe culture is not only preserved.

It is practiced.

For more than two decades, Nurashikin and Raja Badri have worked across Asia documenting living culture through long-term field observation and documentary practice.

Over the years, they have led award-winning productions, built cross-sector partnerships, launched documentary initiatives, and created platforms that support both storytelling and talent development. Their work has taken them from indigenous villages and cultural landscapes to international forums and institutional collaborations, shaping Walkabout Asia into a trusted partner for organizations seeking storytelling with depth, credibility, and purpose.

Documentary is the method.  Living culture is their subject
