作者简介
Ryan grew up in Santa Cruz, California, which he left at age 17
for college in the Midwest, where he first discovered snow. All joy
of this novelty soon wore off. His first job was in Chicago at a
small muckraking publication where he had the impressive title of
Managing Editor because he was second on a two-person editorial
staff and the first person was called Editor. After a year of
60-hour weeks, Ryan took his first trip to Europe, which lasted for
seven months and confirmed his long-suspected wanderlust. Since
then his byline has appeared in scores of publications and he has
covered everything from wars to bars. He definitely prefers the
latter. He wrote Lonely Planet's Chicago and Moscow, co-wrote
Texas, Canada and Western Europe, and coordinated Russia, Ukraine
& Belarus, Great Lakes, Out to Eat - London, Netherlands, and
Britain. In the future, Ryan hopes to add more warm-weather
destinations to this list, although covering places filled with
pubs is a novelty that never wears out. He currently lives in San
Francisco and works as author liaison manager at Lonely Planet's
Oakland office.
