Tony Wheeler was born to travel. He grew up in a family, in which his father was a pilot working for an airline. For the first 16 years of his life, Tony and his family lived in many different countries.
In the early 1970s, Tony met Maureen. They soon got married(结婚). After that, Tony and Maureen wanted to travel. They took a one-year trip from England, through Asia, to Australia. On their trip, they visited countries like Iran, India and so on.
When Tony and Maureen arrived in Australia, people asked them many questions about their trip. To answer these questions, Tony wrote a book called Across Asia on the Cheap. The book told people about different countries' weather, customs(风俗), and places to see. But unlike other travel books at the time, Tony's book also talked about places that most tourists did not go. He also wrote about unique things to see and do. The book was very popular.
Tony and Maureen started a company called Lonely Planet. They continued travelling. They wrote books for each place they visited. Today, about 800 people work for Lonely Planet.
