Chiara Terzuolo - Founder
Obsessed with the written word since a young age, I started freelancing in 2011. My work has been featured in The Japan Times, Lonely Planet, Atlas Obscura, inTouch, Jetsetter, All About, Japan Today and other travel and culture-related media. Over the past 10 years I have worked as a content marketer, editor and consultant, making Japan easier to explore for visitors and helping local businesses, governments and media improve their communications with this new market.
While I mainly focus on English-language media, I also work in Japanese and have been featured on NHK as an inbound travel specialist. I often speak at events related to travel in Japan and the needs of visitors, most recently for the Ministry of Culture, the Australian Embassy and JTB (Japan's largest travel agency).
In 2019 I founded Muse & Ink to focus on creating valuable, interesting content that goes beyond listicles and clickbait.
In addition to English and Japanese, I can also speak Italian, French and a bit of Dutch, so feel free to say hi in the language of your choice!
