Copywriting for a4trip.com

I've been working with a4trip.com for a while now, and I truly enjoy it, because they're such an easygoing and fun-loving bunch. I started off writing articles on travel destinations for them, and then they hired me to brush up the content on their website.

Wanna see an example of the copywriting that I do? Here it is!

1. A4trip.com Home Page

2. Their Our Story and F.A.Qs pages

3. Their Join Us page

Something tells me, us travel writers may be called back into action and whipped into submission soon enough! Can't wait!

A rose by any other name and Vientiane

I recently worked on an introductory article on Yangon for a4trip.com. I found it difficult to address tourism in Burma, but decided to do my best to show respect for their delicate situation and not to ignore the issues involved.


I also wrote an article on Vientiane, where you can find an arch modeled after Paris' Arc de Triomphe that some call "a concrete monstrosity".

Mystery package from A4trip

The guys at A4trip sent me a gift! How sweet of them! It's a little soft toy - a strange cross between a carrot and a bunny. But, before it got to my house, the toy went on an adventure. The package wouldn't fit into my mailbox, so the postman knocked on my door. My dear mum who's wary of strangers didn't want to answer the door, so it got sent back to the Kelana Jaya post office. I booked a cab and went to pick it up the next day. I went to at least three different counters, before I was sent into the bowels of the post office, where thousands of letters seemed to await their fate. There, a postal officer rummaged through some steel drawers before he found my package, which was quite 'safely' hidden. Glad to report the toy's now safe in its new home. My son Amir (pictured below) named his new friend "Kashi".
