(M)When it comes to Tony Wheeler,his father,an excellent pilot,often said,“My son was born to travel.”For the first 18 years of Tony’s life,he and his family lived in many different countries.

In the early 1970s,Tony met a young woman named Maureen.They soon married.Before getting jobs,Tony and Maureen wanted their honeymoon to be special and meaningful.

Then they decided to explore the world.They took a year-long trip from England,through Asia,to Australia.On the trip,they visited places like Iran,India and so on.

When Tony and Maureen arrived in Australia,people asked 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 and customs.But unlike other travel books,Tony Wheeler’s book also talked about places most tourists did not visit.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 traveling.They wrote books for each place they visited.Today,800 people work for Lonely Planet.The company has over 650 books.Tony Wheeler,a great traveler,still writes about travels in many places and will bring us more surprises.
