A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. That’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime.
They met on a park bench in Regent’s Park, London and married a year later. For their honeymoon, they decided to attempt what few people thought possible — crossing Europe and Asia overland, all the way to Australia.
It took them several months and all the money they could earn, beg or borrow, but they made it. And at the end of it all, they were flat broke . . . and couldn’t have been happier.
Urged on by their friends, they stayed up nights at their kitchen table writing, typing and stapling together their very first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1,500 copies, and Lonely Planet was born.
Fast-forward 30 years later, Lonely Planet has become a globally loved brand. Lonely Planet guides are written by experts who get to the heart of every destination they visit.
Constantly updated, each travel guide is packed with accurate, practical and honest advice, designed to give you the information you need to make the most out of your trip.
According to Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2010, Malaysia was voted as one of the top 10 countries to visit this year apart from Germany, Morocco and New Zealand, to name a few.
A 2010 edition of Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei guidebook was recently released, offering travelers updated travel tips to our country. Do visit your nearest bookstore for the latest Lonely Planet products. Lonely Planet is exclusively distributed by MPH Distribu
