Trip.com Travel Expert
Hey there! I’m Bethy (Huang Lan, 黄澜) – a travel enthusiast and content creator for Trip.com. I live as a digital nomad, mostly based in China, and I’ve also lived in awesome places across Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe. I love traveling all over the world, sharing useful travel tips and guides for fellow wanderlusters. When I’m not on the road, I’m a huge cat lover and play guitar for fun~
Estelle
Trip.com Travel writer
My journey began with the roots of Eastern living and was charted by the maps of Western thought. I am Estelle, forever writing between here and elsewhere. My work in the travel industry has made me fluent in every path the world has to offer; yet as a writer, I remain endlessly captivated by what lies beyond the path—the wind, the scents, and the stories of people. In my guides, you will find a meticulous timeline, alongside intentional blank spaces for you to fill. You will find the essential landmarks, but more importantly, those corners you can only discover when you slow down.
Emma
Travel Writer
Hi, I’m Emma, a travel writer focused on real-world journeys — routes you can actually follow, places worth slowing down for, and practical advice that saves time and money. I’m drawn to how people live in the places they call home, from daily routines to local food and markets. That perspective shapes my guides, which blend clear logistics with lived experience.
Sophia
Travel Writer
Hi, I’m Sophia. I write about travel as it’s really lived — the routes that work, the neighborhoods worth lingering in, and the small choices that save time and money. I’m especially interested in daily life: local food, routines, and markets. That lens guides my work, combining practical planning with on-the-ground experience.
Harper
Travel Writer
Hi, I’m Harper. I travel to collect stories and routes that actually work. Over the years, I’ve learned places from the inside out — their markets, public transport, and quieter corners — and turn that insight into guides that help readers make the most of their time. My writing is straightforward, with clear itineraries, practical transport tips, and local recommendations that cut through the noise.
Amelia
Travel Writer
Hi, I’m Amelia. I started traveling on a shoestring and never really stopped. Years of backpacking, quick city breaks, and longer stays taught me how to make travel feel effortless — pack light, move with purpose, and always ask a local where to find the best coffee. That habit became this blog: practical, reliable advice shaped by a strong sense of place.
Evelyn
Travel Writer
Evelyn here. Travel, for me, is a way of staying curious. I’m drawn to cities with a strong everyday rhythm and regions where traditional crafts meet contemporary life. My writing guides readers through these places with practical itineraries and small cultural notes that help a visit feel more complete. I value clear directions, honest recommendations, and travel tips that respect local life.
Abigail
Travel Writer
I’m Abigail, a travel writer and photographer drawn to low-key discoveries — morning markets, overlooked viewpoints, and cafés where locals linger. After years of traveling for both work and pleasure, I share routes that feel natural and tips that actually work on the ground.
Emily
Travel Writer
I’m Emily. My travel writing began as letters to friends and grew into a blog when people wanted the routes and details, not just the photos. I travel slowly, learning places by walking their streets, tasting home-cooked food, and talking with the people who keep them running.
Elizabeth
Travel Writer
I’m Elizabeth, a travel storyteller who believes the best experiences happen when you step off the beaten path. Over the years, I’ve lived in several countries and explored regions slowly, learning that depth matters more than distance. My writing blends hands-on advice with neighborhood portraits, helping readers travel both confidently and curiously.
Ava
Travel Writer
I’m Ava. I grew up reading atlases and dreaming in routes, and that childhood curiosity became a career of exploring cities, coastlines, and countryside — always with the same goal: find the moments that make a place feel alive. My writing focuses on practical guides — clear directions, transport tips, and local recommendations — while highlighting stories that show how people live where they do.
Isabella
Travel Writer
I’m Isabella, a travel writer who prefers alleys to avenues. What began as a way to visit friends around the world grew into a lifelong habit of following curiosity. I write because a well-chosen route can transform a day — an overlooked museum, a café with the perfect late-afternoon light, or a backstreet where the city seems to breathe differently.
Mia
Travel Writer
I’m Mia. I write about the places I can’t stop thinking about. After years of filling passports and sleeping in everything from capsule hostels to seaside riads, I started this blog to share the small details that turn a trip into a story rather than a checklist. I’m drawn to neighborhoods where locals still gather at corner cafés, markets that smell of spices and wet stone, and trails where the map fades and the day becomes all about the light.
Charlotte
Travel Writer
I’m Charlotte. I write about travel the way I experience it: intentionally, slowly, and with curiosity. I arrive somewhere because it calls to me — a market humming at dawn, an alley smelling of fresh bread, or a bookstore promising a new conversation. Over years of short city breaks and long stays, I’ve learned that the best travel notes are those that help you see a place as the locals do.
Jeffery
Trip.com Blogger
Hi, I’m Jeffery. I love visiting new cities, trying local food and finding fun, off-the-beaten-path spots. I share my real travel stories, easy itineraries and honest tips from my own trips. I hope my posts can help you plan better.
