Marco Ferrarese lives in Penang since 2009, from where he covers Malaysia, India and the larger Southeast Asian region for a number of international guidebooks and publications that include the Rough Guides, Fodor's Travel, Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia, the Guardian, BBC Travel, Nikkei Asian Review and the South China Morning Post.

His debut novel Nazi Goreng, a quirky subcultural thriller set in Penang, was published by Monsoon Books in 2013 and banned by Malaysia's Ministry of Home Affairs in 2016. Marco and his Malaysian photographer wife still call Malaysia home, even though they are on the road reporting from elsewhere most of the time.
