Lonely Planet Authors

Lonely Planet authors are professional writers and journalists who nail down all the practical info about a destination then build on that with insider knowledge, thorough reviews, little-known facts and authoritative recommendations. Their aim is to get you straight to the heart of the place they're in.

They revisit the old, discover the new and aren't afraid to share their thoughts and opinions. Lonely Planet authors know the destination. They visit hundreds of points of interest, meet the locals and put in long days and late nights. They are researching and reviewing from sun up to sun down - the breakfast joint, the gardens, the galleries, the hostels. They update details, add new listings and listen to what their fellow travellers have to say.
