Hello! I'm a travel writer who was once a scientist and now runs @marulinuk tea company in London.

I work as a tea and food judge sometimes and as a strategy consultant on occasion. I smell, taste, write, and love numbers.

Let me know if we can work together.
I was delighted to write about the Alishan Forest Railway in #Taiwan for Lonely Planet's latest book. I've been on it the mountain many times to get to my aunt's tea farm.

There are also fantastic pieces by @olismithtravel.bsky.social, @shafikmeghji.bsky.social , @monisharajesh.bsky.social.

Thrilled to be published in Fare Magazine on a topic very close to my heart - tea! The photo is of Mrs. Chen, whose family is from ten generations of tea farmers, in Maokong near Taipei. That's my hat from my tea farm in the background.

In my debut piece for BBC Travel, I write about riding The Polar Express from London to the North Pole (or Wembley) and why we love to ride Santa steam trains.

Thanks to Ellie Cobb and the team at PNP Events.
