　　Like almost every other Lonely Planet author he knows, Neil

Wilson fell into the guidebook-writing business by accident. Having

fled the rat race of the oil industry only four years after

graduating as a geologist, he returned to university to do

postgraduate research. But academia turned out to be just as dull

and c***tricting as industry, so like any sane person he decided to

give it all up to be a penniless freelance writer. The penniless

bit was easy. On the writing side, Neil got a foot in the door

producing articles on history and culture for a Scottish magazine,

while attending a business course and sleeping on a friend's

settee. The friend's flatmate just happened to be an edito***ith a

guidebook publisher in Glasgow. Neil submitted a portfolio of his

travel p***os and smarmed his way through an interview, and next

thing he knew he was off to p***ograph Corfu for a guidebook. That

was 1988; since then Neil has written and p***ographed around 45

guidebooks for several publishers, including HarperCollins, AA

Publishing, Berlitz and Lonely Planet. He has written or cowritten

around 20 guides for Lonely Planet, specialising in two

geographical regi***, the UK and Ireland (Edinburgh, Scotland and

Ireland) and Eastern Europe (Prague, Czech & Slovak Republics,

Poland and Eastern Europe), and has also worked on the first

editi*** of the Lonely Planet guides to Ge***ia, Armenia &

Azerbaijan, Malta and Brittany In addition to travel guides, Neil

has written several nonfiction books, including Great Sea Disasters

and the SAS Guide to Tracking & Navigation (but no, he was

never in the SAS!), contributed a series of articles on geology and

geography to school textbooks and encyclopedias, and had articles

published in various Scottish newspapers and magazines. He enjoys

learning new languages and can hold a conversation in French, go

shopping in Turkish, and get by in Czech, Spanish, Italian, German,

Portuguese, Norwegian and Russian. Neil has been an outdoors

enthusiast since childhood and is still an active hill-walker,

mountain-biker, sailor, paraglider, snowboarder, and rock-climber.

He has climbed and tramped in four continents, including ascents of

Jebel Toubkal in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Mount Kinabalu in

northern Borneo, the Old Man of Hoy in Scotland's Orkney Islands

and the Northwest Face of Half Dome in California's Yosemite

Valley. Neil was born in Glasgow, Scotland, but defected to the

east at the age of 18 and still lives in Edinburgh. Neil's

favourite place: Wherever he happens to be headed at the time. Best

travel tip: Always take half as much gear and twice as much money

as you think you'll need.
