Matthew Teller
I am an award-winning travel writer and freelance journalist, based in the UK.
I have been writing about travel for 15 years, and am a regular contributor to UK national newspapers (notably the Independent), international magazines such as CNN Traveller and Wanderlust, the travel publishers Rough Guides and many others. I am also a guest on BBC radio’s ‘Excess Baggage’ and ‘Traveller’s Tree’.
I was nominated for Travel Journalist of the Year 2009 at the UK Travel Press Awards.
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 Palestine, Dubai, Italy, Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Switzerland, all on commission for UK national newspapers or international magazines. Also Jordan for BBC radio.
Forthcoming travel – also on commission – includes four trips to Oman in the second half of 2010.
