Amy Aed on Taiwanese Tea, Travel Blogging, and Self-Publishing a Travel Book

When Amy Aed was still a teenager, she started a travel blog, Wandering Everywhere, that quickly got attention. This was in a different world, where blogs were exploding with popularity, and access to freebies soon made Amy realize she had more than just a hobby on her hands. Extensive travel followed, with one place capturing her heart: Taiwan. Amy studied Mandarin Chinese and became fascinated with the local culture and production of tea. This led her on a journey, meeting with small farmers, learning the ritual and artistry associated with tea, and, of course, drinking many warm and invigorating mugs. The result is Amy's new book Leaf by Leaf: A Journey Through Tea, Tradition, and the Legends Behind the Leaves which she will soon be going on a book tour in the UK to promote. Amy joins the Travel Writing Podcast to talk travel writing, travel blogging, AI, and her self-publishing journey.
