OUR STORY
A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

Quotes by Lonely Planet (?)

“Much of the action in the Philippines naturally takes place in and around the water.”
― Lonely Planet, The Philippines

“Spesso annoverato fra i viaggi in treno
più belli al mondo, il tragitto ferroviario Oslo–Bergen offre l’opportunità di ammirare alcuni dei paesaggi più straordinari del paese. Dopo aver attraversato le foreste della Norvegia meridionale, si sale fino allo sconfinato
altopiano Hardangervidda, per poi scendere attraverso i pittoreschi dintorni di Voss fino a Bergen. Lungo il percorso
il treno passa vicinissimo ai fiordi e si connette (all’altezza di Myrdal) con la diramazione ferroviaria che sale diretta su terreni ripidi verso la regione dei fiordi che si apre intorno a Flåm.”

“Goriška Brda, Simčič has been around for some time and is one of the best. Also very good and consistent is Ščurek. And let's not forget Movia. Vinakoper has once again been voted tops for offering the best value for money. But it’s not just about reds from Primorska. In the last few years there’s been much interest in the whites of the northeast: Silvaner from Marof; Riesling from Ducal, Kupljen and Protner; Furmint from Verus and P&F; and the native Bouvier variety from Radgonske Gorice. In fact, Sauvignon Blanc from the northeast is being compared with New Zealand’s very best. And just this year, Pullus from Ptuj won the coveted Decanter International Trophy for its Welschriesling 2012.”
