About the author
A freelance writer and photographer currently stranded on the south coast of England, Pat typically specialises in scribbling about travel shenanigans and outdoor escapades, but during his Lonely Planet career he has waxed lyrical about everything from where to find the World's Best Toilets to the social etiquette that surrounds eating durian fruit on public transport in Asia. And if you want to know why hiking sans clothing in the Alps and taking llama foetuses on the bus after a trip to an Andean witch market are both very bad ideas, he's the man to ask.
