ABOUT VBJ


I’m an itinerant writer who has been traveling the world since 1999, through 90
countries. I wrote Ghost Cities of China, a book which chronicles the two years
that I spent in China’s new cities, and have another book about the New Silk
Road coming out soon. I’m a regular contributor to Forbes, The Guardian, and the
South China Morning Post, and I have been featured on BBC World, VICE, NPR
Morning Edition, CNBC Squawk Box, CBC The Current … This is my personal blog
where I share stories from the road that don’t fit in anywhere else. In other
words, this is my daily diary, raw, real, and unedited. Subscribe above.

GHOST CITIES OF CHINA

Ghost Cities of China is a book which recounts the two and a half years I spent
on the ground investigating China’s empty new cities. Pull back the dark veil on
the New China and find out what the country is really all about.
