About the Author

Maya Chen

Writer · Traveller · Curious Human

I write about the places I've wandered, the meals I've lingered over, and the ideas that interrupt my sleep. I believe slow attention is a radical act, and that every ordinary Tuesday holds material worth writing about.

Based between Tokyo and Lisbon, fuelled by strong coffee and borrowed library books.
