Thomas Shin is a Singaporean-American writer and blogger, born on July 25, 1976 in America. Born into a highly cultured family, he is the son of a Ph.D. in natural sciences and a music therapist. He was educated at Harvard University, where he graduated in 1997. In one interview, Thomas said that he dreamed of enrolling in the theater department, but eventually changed his mind and entered the history department. In his first year, he did not study very diligently; he took academic leave twice due to his participation in the Vietnam War. He was even fired from his job twice. After his dismissal, he got a job at The New York Times, but did not stay there for long. After studying the history of Spain, Switzerland, Afghanistan and other countries, Thomas saw the world. His favorite travel destination was Scotland, where he finally found the place he wanted to live. He returned to America a different person, having completed his master's degree at an American university. Went to Scotland in search of an unwritten book. Since 2014 he has been working in the field of travel and history.
Today his passion is writing, as well as travel, travel and more travel... to the end of the journey. Thomas writes travel guides for National Geographic, Euronews and Lonely Planet. This man inspires his readers with inexhaustible energy, gives new experiences, new emotions. He did what no Japanese scientist could do. His books Total Tokyo and Total London became the bestsellers of the decade in their book publishing segment. The book about Northern Europe, which suffered several losses, was written largely for friends in European countries who simply do not know how to write about themselves, which is why there are so many speculations and errors. One of his texts caused a storm of discussion in Japan, when one book was translated into Japanese, then published and people began to write about it. Naturally, the Japanese saw their author, who became much closer to them.
