I just published an iPhone/iPad app for Sutro Media: Thailand Travel Explorer. Don't you think it's time for a tropical holiday? 

 

Lonely Planet's USA's Best Trips, in which I wrote the trip Up the Inside Passage, won gold at the SATW Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition Awards. Huzzah!

I'm up on the BBC: Tracing China's Ancient Tea-Horse Road. 

 Read it and then go drink some Pu-er!

Just received my author copies of Lonely Planet Canada!

I researched most of the Ontario chapter, including Toronto.

Toronto is like New York, but Canadian: polite, clean, friendly, helpful and easily navigable. It's now one of my favorite cities. Ontario itself is awesome, and a burgeoning wine and food destination. I totally recommend traveling there!

Lonely Planet's Discover Alaska is now out!

Check out LP's Discover Alaksa, a super pretty guide for which I was the coordinating author. It highlights the best of Alaska, and is geared towards travelers who only have a couple of weeks to visit the state.
