Camilla Cheung

I (Camilla Cheung) am a freelance writer from Toronto, Canada, who is currently living in China.

I earned a B.A. in English Literature from the University of Toronto, with a minor in French, and subsequently took a B.Ed from the Ontario Institute of Studies in Education in the subjects of English and French.  Writing is, however, my first love, and I am now pursuing a career in the field.

As a freelance writer, my areas of specialization include but are not limited to:

• food, recipes, health and nutrition, and culinary travel
• travel articles and travel guides

I also created and maintain a food blog, with food essays, recipes, and tips on cooking and health at FoodRepublik.com.

To contact me for freelance writing jobs or for queries about my articles, please email me at: c.easternvista [at] gmail.com.  Please feel free to peruse my writing samples below.
