Matthew Teller
I am an award-winning travel writer and freelance journalist, based in the UK.
I have been writing about travel for almost 20 years, and am a regular contributor to UK national newspapers (notably the Times and the Independent), international magazines such as CNN Traveller and Wanderlust, the travel publishers Rough Guides and many others.
I have reported from the Middle East for From Our Own Correspondent on BBC Radio 4 and World Service, and am a guest on Radio 4’s Excess Baggage and Traveller’s Tree.
I like to travel solo, often finding unusual stories in familiar destinations. Specialities include:
- the Middle East
- Switzerland and northern Italy
- independent travel
Recent trips have included Jordan, Egypt, Italy, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, the US, Palestine, Israel, Dubai, Lebanon, Oman and Abu Dhabi, all on commission for UK national newspapers or international magazines. Also Jordan for BBC radio.
Forthcoming trips – also on commission – include Jordan, Kuwait, Israel, Oman, Sharjah and Dubai.
