Luxury Travel Researcher & Editor

Loui Chen is a Luxury Travel Researcher & Editor at LuxuryTrainTickets.com, responsible for the site's in-depth guides, comparisons and explainers on luxury rail travel.

She works within the Golden Moments group, the company behind LuxuryTrainTickets.com, researching the trains, routes and cabins across the portfolio: how they differ, what is included, and which journeys suit which occasions. Her coverage spans Belmond's European flagships, UK day trips on the British Pullman and Northern Belle, and long-haul expeditions across Asia and South America.

She has a particular interest in the history of luxury rail, from the Wagons-Lits era and the golden age of the 1920s and 1930s to the restoration of the carriages still in service today, and brings that background to her writing.

Her research underpins much of the editorial content at LuxuryTrainTickets.com.
