Introduction

I have been living in Japan for six years and have travelled extensively throughout Japan and Asia. Currently I am editor of Tokyo's longest serving expatriate lifestyle magazine and have have built up a comprehensive contacts list of people in the travel industry, (resorts, hotels, expatriate travellers, businesses, editors, etc. ). My features therefore are often related to news and topical events. To date I have covered stories including domestic travel around Japan, historical sites of significance such as at Okinawa, Tokyo, Hakone, Asia and the Pacific, the Hong Kong Sevens, Malaka, Pacific Islands, plus numerous features on the neighbourhoods and restaurants to be found throughout Tokyo. I will be visiting Beijing in September and taking a trip down the River Li which is something I am keen to write on and have just returned from a luxury resort in Fiji which I can also write about as well as articles related to South East Asia.
