Book giveaway
Thirty years after LONELY PLANET published the first of its now ubiquitous shoestring travel guides, writer and author of six travel books, Brian Thacker, undertook his own South-East Asian odyssey – using that very first LP guidebook, SOUTH EAST ASIA ON A SHOESTRING. The result is Brian’s latest book, TELL THEM TO GET LOST: TRAVELS WITH THE LONELY PLANET guidebook that started it all.
We recently chatted to Brian about his journey and his writing and you can listen to the podcast or read the transcript here. www.sydneywriterscentre.com/au/podcast/brainthacker.htm. We also have one copy of Tell Them to Get Lost to give away. Just tell us what country would feature in your travel memoir and why.
