Celeste BrashCoordinating Author, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island Trading Dungeness crab for lobster was no hardship on this, Celeste’s fourth grand tour of the Maritimes. Over the years she’s rafted the Fundy tidal bore, watched eagles nest, got stuck in a ‘moose jam,’ and climbed more lighthouses than she can count and yet, these provinces come up with new surprises on each visit. Celeste has written around 50 Lonely Planet guides. Find out more about

Celeste and her writing at www.celestebrash.com.

Caroline SiegNew Brunswick Caroline Sieg is a half-Swiss, half-American writer. Her relation-ship with New Brunswick started when she first lived in Boston and she began heading up to Canada to see the crazy high tides everyone told her about. She was delighted to return for Lonely Planet.

Karla Zimmerman Newfoundland & Labrador Karla has covered Canada coast to coast for Lonely Planet. Newfoundland is her current beat, and over the years she has paddled by icebergs, come nose-to-beak with puffins, hiked in polar bear territory and driven by most of Newfoundland’s 120,000 moose. She’s visited Dildo, Come by Chance and Heart’s Delight, and intends to get to Jerry’s Nose one day soon. Karla writes travel features for books, magazines and online outlets. She has

authored or co-authored several Lonely Planet guides to the USA, Canada, Caribbean and Europe. Follow her at twitter.com/karlazimmerman.

OUR STORYA 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. Lonely Planet was born.

Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Melbourne, London and Oakland, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.
