Since 2012 I’ve published more than 350 posts on Paper Planes about traveling and living in Thailand. When it goes quiet here, it means I’m busy writing and supplying images to other travel and lifestyle outlets.
Currently I am the ‘Lonely Planet Local’ for Chiang Mai contributing to their website content as well as the Editor for Exotiq Thailand magazine along with writing commissioned stories on a freelance basis for various publications. (See highlights below!)
I also offer English copywriting and content marketing services as my ‘real job’ through Morgan Media based in Chiang Mai.
