About Wendy
I serendipitously landed my dream job of writing for Lonely Planet in 2003 and have spent the intervening years covering destinations from Vietnam and West Papua to Ecuador and Cuba. For work and pleasure, I have traveled six continents (still waiting on Antarctica) and lived on three.
Top experiences include hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim, rafting Nile whitewater, trekking on a Patagonian glacier, spotting pink river dolphins in the Amazon, and sitting with mountain gorillas in Uganda. I believe that travel, even armchair/front porch/backyard travel, is a means to understanding that we and the environment are all inextricably connected.
