作者简介
Alan Murphy took off for a six month stint around Europe and
the Middle East after finishing a degree in Business Studies in
1992 in Western Australia. Four years later and after plenty of
business-related temp work (that he found as exciting as
long-distance bus journeys) he was back on home soil. He returned
to studies in 1997 looking for a way to combine travel, writing and
self-employment. After completing a Graduate Diploma in journalism
at Murdoch University he offered his services to Lonely Planet as a
trainee editor, graduating a year and a half later as an author.
Alan currently lives in Melbourne and enjoys watching Australia
flog the opposition in cricket, sniffing out new watering holes,
and hopes one day to write a Good Pub guide - a project he began
researching years ago. Alan updated the South Africa, Lesotho and
Swaziland chapters for Southern Africa and is currently researching
Senegal and Mauritania for the next edition of Africa on a
shoestring.
