Rebecca Milner
Ānhuī, Zhèjiāng, Hǎinán
California born and longtime Tokyo-resident (14 years and counting!), Rebecca has co-written Lonely Planet guides to Tokyo, Japan, Korea and China. Her freelance writing covering travel, food and culture has been published in the Guardian, the Independent, the Sunday Times Travel Magazine, the Japan Times & more. After spending the better part of her twenties working to travel – doing odd jobs in Tokyo to make money so she could spend months at a time backpacking around Asia – Rebecca was fortunate enough to turn the tables in 2010, joining the Lonely Planet team of freelance writers.
Kate Morgan
Shànghǎi
Having lived and travelled extensively in North Asia, Kate was very keen for the chance to get back to explore Shànghǎi. Days were spent shooting up to the top of Pǔdōng skyscrapers, hunting out the best boutiques in the French Concession, tracing Jewish history in Hóngkǒu, taste-testing oolong tea and dining on dumplings…not a bad day’s work. Kate has worked for Lonely Planet for over a decade now on destinations including Japan, India, Melbourne and Zimbabwe.
Christopher Pitts
Hénán, Héběi, Tiānjīn
Chris started off his university years studying classical Chinese poetry before a week in 1990s Shànghǎi (en route to school in Kūnmíng) abruptly changed his focus to the idiosyncracies of modern China. Several years in Asia memorizing Chinese characters got him hooked, and he returns whenever he can to immerse himself in what is surely one of the world's most fascinating languages. He's written for Lonely Planet China since 2004. Visit him online at www.christopherpitts.net.
Tom Spurling
Fújiàn, Húběi, Jiāngxī, Guìzhōu
Tom is an Australian guidebook author and high school teacher currently based in Hong Kong in search of the long-lost expatriate package. He's worked on 13 Lonely Planet titles, including Japan, China, Central America, Turkey, India, South Africa and Australia. When not chasing his tail, he enjoys tucking it under his crossed legs for minutes on end.
Phillip Tang
Guǎngdōng, Hēilóngjiāng, Liáoníng, Jílín
Phillip Tang grew up on typically Australian pho and fish’n’chips. A degree in Latin-American and Chinese cultures launched him into travel and writing about it for Lonely Planet’s Canada, China, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Peru and Vietnam guides. More pics and words: philliptang.co.uk. Phillip has made his home in Sydney, Melbourne, London and Mexico City. His travels include most countries in Europe, much of Asia and Latin America, as well as the greatest hits of North America. Phillip writes about travel and the people there, who just call it living. He likes smelling fresh mint in a market in a new town and imagining a parallel life there.
Phillip also wrote the Survival Guide chapters.
