The Lonely Planet story

“It all began with a beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket, and a sense of adventure. Tony and Maureen Wheeler's honeymoon trip from Europe to Asia to Australia was too good to keep to themselves. Urged on by friends, they stayed up nights at their kitchen table writing, typing and stapling together their very first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they sold 1,500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. Fast forward 30 years and Lonely Planet is now a globally loved brand, with more then 500 travel guides that cover every corner of the globe. (Watch the video below for the complete Lonely Planet story.)” Amazon.com
