Mark Azavedo
I am very well travelled as a professional writer and photographer. I also undertake destination research for the travel industry.
My specialism is South East and East Asia, particularly Thailand. I have also worked extensively throughout Europe, South Asia, North and Sub-Saharan Africa, USA, and the Caribbean. I have travelled lengthily in South America.
I am fascinated by the world, its peoples, their cultural, commercial, political and religious life, documenting all aspects in words and images. I am a Social Anthropology major.
As a writer, I have contributed to TNT Magazine, Independent Traveller Magazine, Traveller Magazine, People in Camera Magazine, Image Magazine and Healthy Living Magazine. I regularly contribute to a number of blogs, particularly politics and travel related.
My personal interests are politics, philosophy and economics, religion, photography, art, and architecture, health and fitness.
I am available to commission globally for writing and photography www.markazavedo.com . My specialism is new developments in the city and countryside.
