John Noble finds life as a travel writer the only way to
satisfy his endless curiosity about the planet he lives on. After a
Cambridge University degree in philosophy and English literature,
he embarked upon a newspaper career that led him from Lancashire to
Yorkshire to the Fleet Street "qualities," but increasing
interruptions for explorations of the globe soon found John
searching for a way to combine writing with travel. He paid his way
around southeast Asia by writing special reports for the august
Financial Times International Coal Report and sub-editing for the
Far Eastern Economic Review, before Lonely Planet commissioned him
to update its Sri Lanka guide. LP has kept John extremely busy ever
since, chiefly (despite that Asiatic start) in the Latin world and
the former Soviet Union. He has played major roles in eight
editions of LP's Mexico, five of Spain, four of Andalucía, two of
Mexico City, and one each of Guatemala, Belize and Brazil. With
just one co-author (John King), John pioneered LP's coverage of the
world's biggest nation with the epic USSR guide, a two-year project
devoted to a country that decided to abolish itself while the book
was at the printers in 1991. John then turned to writing guides to
the Soviet successor states: Baltic States, Central Asia and
Russia, Ukraine & Belarus. With his long experience of the
above regions and of LP's modus operandi, John has been
coordinating author of nearly all the above titles. 
　　 
　　John grew up in the cool, green valley of the River Ribble in
northern England, which is still his favourite place on the planet,
but his most memorable single trip was a trek from Ladakh to
Zanskar in the Indian Himalaya, one of those regions where the
earth comes a bit closer to whatever's beyond. 
　　 
　　Back on that first trip to Sri Lanka John met Australian Susan
Forsyth, now also a long-standing LP author. They married in 1989
and for the past decade have lived in a southern Spanish hill
village with their now-teenage offspring, Isabella and Jack. 
　　 
　　One of the things John likes most about writing for LP is the
chance to get to grips with many of the subjects that fascinate him
most, including history, the arts, wildlife and conservation. He
has written in-depth sections on topics ranging from Spanish
flamenco and Islamic architecture to wildlife and conservation in
Brazil, Mexico and Andalucía, soccer in Brazil and the folk arts of
Mexico. Lonely Planet's demands have kept John's hands pretty full
for a long time but over the years he has also found time to write
about ancient British mystical sites for the Times, soccer for the
Guardian, Mexican travel for Livingetc and Planeta.com, and a range
of issues from education to globalization, in English and Spanish,
for the bilingual magazine El Gato Verde in Spain. He's also a
photographer whose shots have been published in many LP titles and
numerous other publications.
