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

Erica Lyons
Erica has called Hong Kong home for the last 11
years and divides her summers, and her heart,
between the US and Israel. She is the founder/
editor-in-chief of
Asian Jewish Life
– a journal
of spirit, society and culture. This international,
quarterly print magazine celebrates the diversity
of the Jewish experience in Asia and also perfectly blends Erica’s passion
for literature, art, history, culture, Judaic studies and travel. She is a regular
columnist for
The Jewish Press
in New York as well as a freelance writer for a
number of international publications. She is an avid reader and enthusiastic
photographer as well as an overly enthusiastic cat owner. She is also the
mother to three children, aged 12, 11 and seven, who often unwittingly find
their way into her articles.
