Last updated May Words and photos by Vietnam Coracle. Welcome to my About Page. On this page I introduce myself and my website in detail: who I am, what I do, why I do it, what Vietnam Coracle is and how this website works.
Please read this page to better understand the motivation and ethos behind Vietnam Coracle and how to get the most out of using it:. Born in London, I was lucky enough to travel abroad from an early age โ my first visit to Vietnam was in , age For me, everything I want from a travel destination โ landscape, food, people, history, culture, adventure, romance โ I can find here.
I left London when I was 22 years old and moved to Vietnam to live, work and travel. In , I started Vietnam Coracle as a way to express my experiences in Vietnam and communicate my feelings about the country through words, images and film. For 10 years, between and , I was the sole author and content creator for Vietnam Coracle, researching and producing hundreds of guides, articles and reviews, taking and editing thousands of photographs and dozens of short films.
In May, , I launched Contributing Writers for Vietnam Coracle: a team of people with years of experience living, travelling and working in Vietnam, who contribute written content to the site, as well as me. This has been my primary occupation for almost a decade, and I intend to continue. Relatively camera-shy, I prefer to point my lens at Vietnam rather than at myself.
Although Vietnam Coracle is deeply personal โ my opinions, character and personality run through all the content โ the main focus of this website is Vietnam, not me. Ben initially contacted me through the site and we met for coffee. Ben is a web developer; I, on the other hand, am not particularly tech-savvy. We began working together on various tech issues on the site.
