It was a childhood dream fulfilled to find myself trekking around Kyūshū as a contributing author updating Lonely Planet’s guidebook to Japan, two decades after Aunty Bonnie gave me that same guidebook for my 12th birthday.
Almost two more decades later, it’s been an honour to have taken so many journeys for Lonely Planet on behalf of my fellow adventurers, since then.
I’ve either co-written or curated each of the English-language editions of the guidebooks below. Many have been translated into multiple languages and many remain on bestseller lists.
