About Tor Brierley
"I caught the travel bug at a very young age, and haven't stopped travelling since! Based in the UK, I moved to Beijing after graduating some 20 years ago and this fuelled my fascination with experiencing new cultures. My first travel pieces were about digital nomadism, long before being a digital nomad was a trending subject! I have a passion for East Asia in particular, and its historical and cultural landmarks. and I favour slow travel over rushing from destination to destination: the journey itself is part of the adventure. Now I travel as often as I possibly can, exploring the world with my young family. Seeing my favourite places through their eyes gives them a whole new perspective. "
