Hello and welcome to MaximumCityMadam.
A little about me:
I currently live in Hong Kong where I am editor of AWAre - the magazine for the American Women’s Association. I lived in
Mumbai (nicknamed 'Maximum City') from 2009 until 2014. During that time I wrote about expat life in the
city for magazines and publications across the globe including the South China Morning Post and Abu Dhabi Week. I have also been
featured in the UK’s Daily Mail (don’t
judge me) The Sun and Eastern Eye. I have written occasional
features for Midday in Mumbai.
 |
As editor of Mumbai expat magazine Chalo! (2011 to 2014) I commissioned articles and features as well as writing my own column Maximumcitymadam. I also appear in the LookSeeCity guide to Mumbai and contributed to expat sites such as Expatarrivals and InterNations. I was commissioned by LifeBook UK to both research and write the ‘autobiography’ of an Indian client in 2014.

In the UK, I was a senior reporter at The Kentish Times where I was awarded ‘Kent Campaigning Journalist of the Year’. I trained to be a newspaper journalist at the University of Central Lancashire. I also worked as a film critic for an English language newspaper in Berlin and have also been a columnist for The Gambian Observer.

Hi Nerissa, just seen this, will write a piece about HK is you like. Its a big city and a big subject. Would you like me to narrow it down a bit and focus on a specific area?
