Tony Wheeler, Global Traveler

Tony and Lonely Planet

What the locals know

Tony didn’t set out to be source of travel information; he just set out to travel. But after his first adventure with his wife where he wound up in Sydney with only $.27, things changed. "During that year, so many people asked us about our travels in Asia. All those sort of questions that there was no information available for at the time. We decided to write and publish a book about it. That was the first Lonely Planet guidebook."
Lonley Planet 

Today, Tony’s path to Lonely Planet leads the way for other travelers with guidebooks, maps and a wealth of online information. Keeping up-to-date requires a lot of fieldwork and Dell is there to help. "I never leave home without my laptop. My laptop has always traveled with me."
