I haven’t bought a Lonely Planet guidebook in several years as I found by the time I was following their recommendation, much of what they recommended had closed down or changed owners.

I guess its the passion that drives a person to be in such a job. And i guess a very few lucky people who have such passion also end up finding such a matching job. But if the first is lost i guess its really could be one of the hardest jobs in the planet too. :)

Being a travel guidebook writer seems hard. Maybe I’d skip guidebooks and target magazines and websites instead. Hmmm….
