Description

Tony Wheeler is one of the most recognisable names in travel, and anyone who’s ever used a Lonely Planet guidebook will have read the story on the last page about how he and his wife Maureen wrote and published their first guidebook, Across Asia on the Cheap, on their kitchen table in 1973, finally selling the Lonely Planet behemoth in 2011. He talks about counting countries, flying with carry-on only, his favourite country and the art of travel, tonywheeler.com.au 

Also, do North Americans have the world’s friendliest accents? And the world’s best car-free cities.
