A writer and photographer specialising in travel and food. I began my travel writing career after leaving Japan, where I worked as a business news editor in the early 1990s. I’m the co-author of the award-winning Rough Guide to Japan and Rough Guide to Tokyo as well over 30 guidebooks for Lonely Planet, Thames & Hudson, AA Publishing, Time Out and others.
