Author profile

Marie Kreft (mariekreft.co.uk) is a winner of the Bradt/Independent on Sunday travel-writing competition and has written for several national titles, including BBC Countryfile magazine, the Independent and National Geographic Food. She discovered the joys of Slow travel while making her way home from Singapore to the UK entirely overland. Kreft is the author of all three editions of Bradt’s Shropshire (Slow Travel) and, living in south Birmingham, is but a short hop from the county, which she and her young family consider their happy place for exploring at weekends. She also runs a small copywriting agency.
