Amelia is the Content Editor at ETG. Her interest in travel was piqued when she travelled to India aged 13 and, after studying English Literature at university, she headed to Central America and Japan. At ETG, she has found a role that combines her love of writing and travel, managing the company tone of voice, blog and newsletter, as well as creating guides to Asia, videos and more.

She is currently working remotely from Marseille, enjoying la vie française and eating more cheese than health or good sense would recommend.
