About the Author

Mark Baker es un escritor de viajes freelance con debilidad por las historias diferentes y los lugares olvidados. Nació en Estados Unidos pero ha hecho de Praga su ciudad de adopción. Ahora escribe principalmente guías sobre Europa del Este y central para Lonely Planet y para otras importantes editoriales, pero lo que más le gusta es sacar a la luz historias sobre lugares remotos o demasiado singulares para las guías. También colabora con publicaciones como Wall Street Journal y National Geographic Traveler. Antes de convertirse en escritor, trabajó como periodista para The Economist, Bloomberg News y Radio Free Europe, entre otros. Actualmente, cuando no viaja, enseña historia centroeuropea y periodismo en la Anglo-American University de Praga o se pierde con su bicicleta. Tiene un máster en Asuntos Internacionales de la Columbia University de Nueva York. Se le puede seguir en Twitter e Instragram: @markbakerprague

Periodista y fotógrafo, Simon Richmond se ha especializado como escritor de viajes desde principios de los noventa, y empezó a trabajar para Lonely Planet en 1999, con la guía Central Asia. Desde entonces ha perdido la cuenta del número de guías de Lonely Planet en las que ha colaborado como documentalista y escritor, pero algunos de los países que ha cubierto son Australia, China, la India, Irán, Japón, Corea, Malasia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Rusia, Singapur, Sudáfrica y Turquía. Para la web de Lonely Planet ha escrito artículos sobre temas que van desde las mejores piscinas del mundo a las delicias del urban sketching. Quien quiera seguirle en Instagram (@simonrichmond) podrá ver algunas de sus fotografías y dibujos.

Siempre atraído por lo desconocido, Tom Masters ha soñado con ir a los sitios más recónditos de la Tierra desde que aprendió a andar. De ahí que su carrera de redactor le haya llevado por todo el mundo, sea Corea del Norte, el Ártico, el Congo o Siberia. Pese a una infancia transcurrida en la campiña inglesa, de mayor Londres, París y Berlín han sido su casa. Se le encuentra en www.tommasters.net. Tras graduarse en Literatura Rusa por la Universidad de Londres, trabajó en Rusia como periodista de The St Petersburg Times. Su primer empleo de redactor le llevó a trabajar con el BBC World Service y como colaborador freelance de diarios y revistas de todos lados. Además trabajó varios años produciendo documentales para televisiones del Reino Unido y EE UU. Dado su amor por la arquitectura comunista, ahora vive en la Karl-Marx-Allee del barrio berlinés de Friedrichshain y aún vuelve a menudo por trabajo a la antigua URSS. Entre sus últimos proyectos están las guías de Lonely Planet del Lejano Oriente ruso, África Central y Colombia.

Korina Miller se crió en la isla de Vancouver y lleva por el mundo desde que tiene 16 años. Ha visitado o residido en 36 países y entremedias se ha sacado una carrera en Comunicación y Estudios Canadienses, un máster en Estudios Migratorios y un diploma en Artes Plásticas. Como escritora y editora, Korina ha trabajado en cerca de 60 títulos para Lonely Planet, y también ha colaborado con LP.com, la BBC, The Independent, The Guardian, la BBC5 y la CBC, así como con muchas revistas independientes, con temas de viajes, arte y cultura.

Andy Symington ha escrito o colaborado en más de cien guías y otras actualizaciones de Lonely Planet (sobre todo en Europa y Latinoamérica) y otras editoriales, y ha publicado artículos sobre múltiples temas en periódicos, revistas y sitios web. Copropietario de un bar de rock, es autor de una novela y en la actualidad tiene diversos proyectos de ficción y no ficción. Este australiano se trasladó al norte de España hace ya muchos años, y cuando no está de viaje con su mochila en algún remoto rincón del planeta, muy probablemente esté viendo partidos de su pésimo equipo local o tomando unos vinos tras un largo paseo por el monte.

This book was very useful planning our trip to Europe this summer. We didn't use a travel agency so this book helped us research places to visit. Highly recommend even if you are using a travel agency or tour group.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disapointing Kindle Version
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2018

I liked this book in paper; however, the kindle version is very hard to understand and is not visually pleasing. There are lots of extra characters and potentially missing photos. I rarely write reviews, but this book is such a hassle to read despite the quality content. With the money I paid, I expected to get a digital copy similar to the physical one. I hope this gets fixed and I viewed it on my mobile phone if that makes any difference.

Great book for planning your Europe trip at lowest possible cost. However, it is limited in its listing of low cost accommodations, also contains no information on how to go about getting the required Schengen visa.
