JOHN LEE

A cathartic 1997 trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway – six nights of autumnal forests, grumpy provodnitsas and warm potatoes served by beady-eyed babushkas at paint-peeled stations – convinced me to write my first travel story.

 

Almost three decades later, I’m still writing – and I’m still inspired by the same itch-like curiosity that drove me to board that legendary locomotive all those years ago.

​

The job has changed over the decades, of course. I now write less for travel audiences and have developed my skills as a content creator and copywriter. But crafting engaging copy that communicates effectively remains the foundation of my work.  ​
