Biographie de l'auteur :
After a successful career in niche newspaper and magazine publishing, both in his native New Zealand and in Australia, Peter Dragicevich finally gave into Kiwi wanderlust, giving up staff jobs to chase his diverse roots around much of Europe. Over the decade he's written literally dozens of guidebooks for Lonely Planet on an oddly disparate collection of countries, all of which he's come to love. He once again cal Auckland, New Zealand his home - although his current nomadic existence mea he's often elsewhere. Brett Atkinson is based in Auckland, New Zealand, but is frequently on the road for Lonely Planet. He's a full-time travel and food writer specialising in adventure travel, unusual destinations, and surprising angles on more well-known destinations. Craft beer and street food are Brett's favourite reasons to explore places, and he is featured regularly on the Lonely Planet website, and in newspapers, magazines and websites across New Zealand and Australia. Since becoming a Lonely Planet author in 2005, Brett has covered areas as diverse as Vietnam, Sri Lanka, the Czech Republic, New Zealand, Morocco, California and the South Pacific. Andrew Bain prefers adventure to avarice and can usually be found walking when he should be working. His writing and photography feature in magazines and newspapers around the world, and his writing has won multiple awards, including best adventure story and best Australian story (three times) from the Australian Society of Travel Writers. He was formerly commissioning editor of Lonely Planet's outdoor adventure series of titles, and is the author of Headwinds, the story of his 20,000-kilometre cycle journey around Australia, and Lonely Planet's A Year of Adventures.
