About the Editor

Living the nomad life before the internet was even switched on, Damascus In Your Pocket writer and editor Jeroen van Marle grew up in England and the Netherlands before working his way across the world for In Your Pocket and other travel publishers, spending several years each in Bucharest, Warsaw, Prague, Kuala Lumpur and Johannesburg before settling in Berlin. He was introduced to Syria's charms several years ago and is now a regular visitor, dedicating his time in Damascus to personally testing all the hammams he can find. Contact him via jeroen.vanmarle (at) inyourpocket.com.
