Marissa Carruthers

Marissa Carruthers is a freelance journalist specializing in the things she loves most: travel, culture, lifestyle and the environment. Since relocating to Cambodia in 2012, the native Brit has been immersing herself in the region’s delights, writing about her discoveries along the way – a journey that is far from over. In addition to T+L Southeast Asia, she regularly contributes to the South China Morning Post, BBC Travel, DestinAsian, Mongabay and covers Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam for TTG Asia. When she is able to escape Phnom Penh’s concrete jungle, where she’s based, you’ll find her lazing on the shores of an idyllic tropical island or somewhere surrounded by nature.
