Maureen Wheeler
Traveling with children has become a way of life for Maureen after the birth of Tashi and Kieran, and has considerably enlivened her journeys. The numerous questions she received by parents wondering if travel had to be postponed until the children were older, prompted Maureen to write a guidebook about it. Travel With Children is the result of years of experience on the road with her children, and is packed with practical information and advice on how to make travel as stress-free as possible for both kids and parents.
Maureen continues to travel in search of new and exciting destinations and also spends a great deal of time road-testing the Lonely Planet list. In between trips, she completed a degree in social work, but faced with a choice between her career and traveling, she chose to make travel her career.
As a woman who successfully balances the responsibilities of work, travel and family, Maureen Wheeler can relate her experiences of life on the road and the rewards of travel, or talk about what it's like to run a business with her husband. She can also share her insights on travel and offer tips and advice for any trip - from health and safety to getting over jet-lag and what to pack.
Maureen Wheeler and Lonely Planet have been featured in The New York Times Magazine, Forbes, Esquire, Smithsonian, Quantas In-flight Magazine, the San Francisco Examiner and Travel & Leisure.
