ABOUT MORGAN

As a kid, Morgan had always wanted to be either an astronaut or an actor. Now, as a writer, he gets to combine the two – by exploring stories and taking on multiple perspectives.

A Singapore-based content writer with a focus on lifestyle beats, Morgan has produced many pieces on travel,  film and holistic topics. This stems from his exposure to these topics, some from as young as when he was eight.

He enjoys crafting distinctive pieces, investing time to tease out underlying nuances and sometimes, things that go unnoticed. With his intuitive perspectives, he also enjoys interviews or personality pieces, evocative commentaries and engaging social media posts. Morgan also takes up advertorials and copywriting commissions for brands as well.

His decade of writing experience is interrupted by the occasional poetic bouts and alliteration attacks. And as much as he uses the word interesting a lot in person, he refrains to do so in writing.

He is also into trains, treks and trees, and has a fascination for caves and cultural rituals as well. He wishes for more time to indulge in these topics, along with craftsmanship and cycling, and would love to spend more time practicing his sketching and watercolour.

Outlets he’s contributed to include: CNBC Traveler, Lonely Planet, Channel News Asia, The Straits Times, TimeOut Asia, Now Boarding, Expedia Singapore and Malaysia, Discoverist.sg and more.

Some of the countries he has been to include: Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, United States, Greece, England, Scotland, France, Iceland, Netherlands, India, Iran, Oman, Spain and Russia.

In 2020, he embarked on his digital nomad journey, with an intention to create richer content, by staying for lengths up to a month in cities such as Penang and Yangon. This was unfortunately cut short by the Covid-19 pandemic, but he has since resumed his plans with extended stays in countreis such as South Korea and Japan.
