Hi, I'm Ting. Award-winning travel writer, foodie and the person behind My Travel Monkey. Two weeks working our way from Hanoi to Hoi An. A long weekend eating through Seville. A slow week in Sicily. Sometimes with my family, sometimes with friends.
This is where I share what I learnt on those trips. Which area to book in Madrid. Whether a hotel works with kids. The bowl of pho worth queueing for. The tickets you need weeks in advance. Start with the destination guides, or read more about me. Thanks for popping by!
