Our story: A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that's all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime - across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end - broke but inspired - they sat at their kitchen table writing and stacking together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they had sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world's leading travel guide publisher. Visit us at www.lonelyplanet.com
