Hi, I'm Ting...

Now a full-time freelance travel copywriter, I work with lots of leading travel companies, including Jules Verne and Hurtigruten, and still pick up commissions in the commercial press. I bring a background in consumer magazine journalism and years of sub-editing, which means no detail escapes my eagle eye. As former Chief Sub-Editor of the UK's biggest-selling magazine and Editor for Time & Leisure, where I was responsible for digital media, I've spent my career making words work harder.

But it's not just about the words. I shape content strategy and bring solid SEO expertise, so copy doesn't just read beautifully – it ranks, gets found, and drives bookings. I know how to balance search intent with brand voice, turning research and keywords into stories people actually want to read. Before going freelance, I was Content Team Lead for one of the UK's largest travel operators, specialising in content creation to support creative marketing. I'm also a multi-award-winning blogger, and my travel blog, My Travel Monkey, and food blog, Cook Simply, bring together my writing and digital expertise. That blend of strategy and storytelling pays off. In 2025, I led a team to a Silver Marketing Award for Best Influencer Campaign – a fully integrated campaign for BBC1's Race Across The World that reached 3 million and drove a 202% YOY increase in web traffic to featured holidays.
