Let’s collaborate

I’m Barry, a freelance writer, luxury brand ambassador & influencer, and content creator. My blog, asianmapleleaf, is a trusted and fun source of all things travel, and as my blog grows, I’ve been fortunate to have created more and more collaborations with some of my favourite brands and destinations.

FREELANCE WRITER

I fell in love with traveling as a kid and since then, I’ve been constantly exploring new places and discovering new foods. These experiences, which include local and LGBT travel favourites, are shared with a network of up to a million readers and followers, through popular publications including Swagger Magazine, Passport Magazine, Vogue Hong Kong, Out Magazine, ManAboutWorld, and more.

My goal is to inspire readers to travel more while making the most of their trip.

I’m also always looking to form new opportunities to collaborate with diverse magazines and blogs all over the world, sometimes through ideas and content that I create, and others through content that is specifically requested. This allows me to not only help the magazines and blogs looking for new content, but I also get to meet some incredible people along the way.

BRAND AMBASSADOR & INFLUENCER

Whether it is a hotel or product, I absolutely love sharing the brands that I’m passionate about with my readers and followers. Through sponsored posts and collaborations, I share my experiences, favourite brands, and connect with people who typically have the same interests. Throughout my adventures, I turn life’s moments into a series of photos and stories along the way.
