Gillian Johnston
Stirling, in Scotland’s
Braveheart
country, was
where Gillian grew up. An inquisitive, talkative,
active child who didn’t like to nap when
there was fun to be had, she quickly learnt to
multitask, being known to do jigsaws, read, knit
and watch TV at the same time, usually whilst
eating. Her inquisitive nature led to a long
career as a court lawyer, during which time,
Gillian fell in love with Vincent, with whom she now shares life’s many
adventures. A keen cook since childhood, Gillian has combined her passions
for food and travel, frequently dragging Vincent round the globe armed with
little more than a rucksack and guidebook. Calling Hong Kong home since
2007, she made a daring escape from the law a couple of years ago, opting
to volunteer as an advocate for a local charity instead. Now Gillian happily
multitasks as a domestic goddess and gym bunny whilst writing and planning
the next adventure. Read about her travels, tiffin and exploits at

Nicola Burke
Nicola grew up in London and caught the travel
bug from her globetrotting parents. At night, she
pored over an atlas, plotting adventures and
learning capitals of the world (still a party trick).
After graduating (with a geography degree!)
she backpacked around Europe, the Americas
and Asia. When money ran out, she joined a
global management consultancy and spent
most Monday mornings at Heathrow. One day, her boyfriend’s job relocated
them to Tokyo. After three years of head-hunter by day and karaoke by night,
they moved to Hong Kong. Seven years later, her sushi obsession is now a
dim sum addiction. She hopes to pass the travel bug to her own two children
(Daisy, aged five, and Sky, aged three) and writes kids’ travel advice at
