Writing is my passion, English is my game. I live to travel, and I travel to live! Refreshing my being daily, reaching for joy from all walks of the earth — whether it be the 'Chi Oi's' working blissfully in the rice fields of Northern Vietnam, or the sun dancing off the Mediterranean Sea in Cadiz, Spain... I've been in the travel writing game since 2018, with hundreds of articles and works published online, including major travel publications. Highly detail-oriented? You bet! I love to lend my unique voice (doused in passion) to my writing — no AI here, folks! However, my tone is totally adaptable, depending on the House Style. I'm comfy writing in both British and/or American English. Research is also somewhat of a second love of mine; I guess there's a reason I studied Journalism. I'm extremely deadline-driven and possess excellent grammatical skills. And yes, I am a native English speaker. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm often praised for my speedy writing/deliverables and work ethic. Some may say I'm a "workaholic" — I beg to differ; I just dub it as being in love with what I do. Apart from the travel writing, I work for a design and lifestyle publication. Call me a Digital Nomad, with a strong online presence to match. My workbelt includes: • Long-listicle type content/blogs • Short, punchy description writing • eBooks • Content curation • Research • Copywriting • Fictional creative novel writing • Travel itineraries • Refreshing existing work on websites from the backend side/WordPress • Proofreading • Editing (and working closely with other teams of editors, writers, clients, etc.) ~ A great personal achievement was graduating Cum Laude in my final university year. ~ Touching briefly on who "Shan" is as a person (yes, I just did refer to myself in third-person): ~A super creative force; my spare time is filled with drawing, painting, or learning Italian. ~As much of a cliché as it is, YES, I am a foodie. I'm the one in the friends school hunting down the latest it-spots to wine and dine. ~I'm an aesthetically-pleasing Libra, and love getting lost in the world of fashion, design and art, conjuring up my dream aspirational products, or future coffee book I WILL one day compile. ~Travel-obsessed, my current destination count is sitting at 92 global cities/towns/villages worldwide. ~I wear my heart on my sleeve: what you see is what you get.
