About Austin
I am an American writer and photographer based in Lisbon, Portugal. I was previously based in Bangkok, Thailand, for more than 20 years. From there, I contributed to just about every major food and travel publication, as well as to more than 30 guidebooks for Lonely Planet. In 2018, I wrote and photographed the James Beard Award finalist, "The Food of Northern Thailand." Its successor, "The Food of Southern Thailand," was released in 2024
