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 stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

I still want to go to Madagascar. I gave this book away. I had horrible food poisoning one night, and lay curled up in a cold fever, having exhausted my fluids and no one to call. One of my neighbors stopped by, in a bad state of mind herself, and went to get me soda water. She sat by me, moaning and groaning and tunnel-visioned, till I fell asleep. She talked about how she wanted to travel, and so the next day I was so f'ing grateful I left this Madagascar guide book at her door. I never saw her again! She moved away. Someone said that the book made her feel better. I'll get another one, but only when I have specific plans to go to Madagascar...

Enough information to get you oriented, excited, and sketch out a trip but not enough to plan the details.
