托尼·惠勒和莫琳·惠勒是业界的传奇LoneIy Planet出版公司的创始人。他们俩已经出版了很多的旅行指南,这些指南覆盖了地球上的每一个国家。
Lonely Planet创立于1973年,当时惠勒夫妇自己动手出版了一本非常独特的旅游指南:《便宜走亚洲》。之后他们又出版了《鞋带上的东南亚》,这本书很快被人们称为背包客的“圣经”。当时他们勇敢地踏入了别的旅游出版商未曾涉足的市场,他们专为一个新兴的自助旅行人群服务,而这些人群的出现要远远早于大众旅游市场的兴起。
Founders of the phenomenally successful publishing company Lonely Planet, Tony and Maureen Wheeler have produced travel guides to just about every corner of the globe.
Lonely Planet Publications was born in 1973 when the Wheelers self-published a quirky travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. This was quickly followed by what soon became the backpackers bible, South-East Asia on a Shoestring. Going boldly where no other travel publisher had ventured, they catered to a new generation of independent, budget-conscious travelers long before the advent of mass tourism.
The Lonely Planet Story is a unique mix of autobiography, business history and travel book. It traces Tony and Maureen Wheeler s personal story as well as the often bumpy evolution of their travel guide business into the world s largest independent travel publishing company.
Not surprisingly, after thirty years in the business the Wheelers have an unrivalled set of anecdotes which they share in The Lonely Planet Story. They have been hassled by customs, cheated by accountants, let down by writers, banned in Malawi, berated for their Burma guide and had books pirated in Vietnam. Tony has been gored by a cow in Benares, declared dead around the world in an assortment of gruesome and greatly exaggerated accounts and their company has been accused of the Lonely Planetization of the world.
Through it all, from the heady days of discovery in the 70s to the rocky patch after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Wheelers passion for the planet and traveling certainly hasn t diminished, and comes shining through in this enthralling travelogue. But above all, their memoir reveals the spirit of adventure that has made them, according to the New York Daily News, the specialists in guiding weird folks to weird places.
每次旅行,我都带着这本书,我也不知道为什么。不丹、尼泊尔、肯尼亚,每次在旅途的间隙,都拿出来看一下。今年12月,我去南极旅行,还将带着这一本书出发。谢谢作者。

评分我喜欢那些并非处心积虑,也非雄心壮志,仅仅是平实自然的创造了些东西出来的故事。但我起初并不知道惠勒夫妇也是其中之一。今年4月才拥有了第一本Lonely Planet的《云南》。蓝色的封皮,翔实的内容,甚合我意。我甚至举着它在丽江古城外面拍照,当时也不知是怎么想的,可能是...
评分我的美国外教曾打趣道:他老哥从事的是世界上最“糟糕”的职业:把问题家庭的儿童接走看护——这意味着要和各种危险或诡异的问题家长进行卓绝的斗争;而他老妹从事的是世界上最“幸福”的职业:为C-trip撰写旅游指南。哇!好酷!我们叫道。 当旅行、撰写旅行成为...
评分Lonely Planet 是公司的名字,可是他们每年的结婚纪念日几乎都在路上度过留影,携手走在路上30多年,他们是最幸福的背包伴侣。 看他们结婚时亲密的拥抱和明媚的笑容,看莫琳对丈夫随时的出发念头欣然拥护,看莫琳在海滩上性感的背影,你不会知道,他们早期的背包生涯是...

评分accidentally found this book in the reading room of mangrove ashram. this is the perfect travel story that i've been looking for.
评分《当我们旅行》原版。这本书是一本自传,一本公司发家史,一本旅行笔记,一本生活感悟,语言谈不上漂亮,但在平淡中间杂幽默,创业和旅行,所有愉快和不愉快的事情,就好像标题所说的那样,如曾经的一次旅途,向读者娓娓道来。
