Mallika Naguran has worked for the private and public sectors ranging from fashion to IT sectors. She has freelanced for publications such as Discovery Channel Magazine, The Straits Times, MillionaireAsia, Appetite, Marketing and Men’s Health magazines. 

Concerned with global warming, climate change and the alarming rate of urban and tourism development with little concern for the environment, she has decided to dedicate her time and resources towards running a portal that helps create awareness of eco-living and sustainable tourism. Thus, Gaia Discovery was created.

Thin Lei Win is a Yangon-born, Saigon-based freelance writer plus a travel and food enthusiast who delights in sharing her latest finds with others, whether they be shopping tips or NGO trips.

Educated in Singapore and Britain, Thin is a self-confessed workaholic who loves to write and read pretty much anything - including hotel brochures and airline manuals - and loathes people who refuse to use spell check, format their documents or follow style guides.

Adrian Goh is a vegetarian of 22, coming 23 years. He loves animals beyond words and can only wear his badge of shame as a specimen of the worst species on the planet. In his free time, he works to prove how he stays unaffected by the clamour of an indifferent world hardened to the survival of other living entities sharing the earth. His other passions include photography and art. Not gay. Not hippie. Grounded but at the same time romantic. goh.adrian@gmail.com
