More About the Author

After graduating from college in Chicago, Sara jumped on a plane to the West Coast with just one suitcase and $100 in her pocket. She landed in San Francisco, and today makes her home on the central California coast. She also spent three years living in Japan, after which she followed her wanderlust backpacking around Asia for almost a year before returning to the USA, where she has worked as a teacher, a journalist and a national park ranger. She is an all-seasons outdoor enthusiast.

The author of 50 travel and non-fiction books, Sara's writing has featured in national and international newspapers and magazines, including online content for the Los Angeles Times, National Geographic Traveler and Jetsetter. Sara has written for travel guidebook publishers including Lonely Planet, Frommer's, Compass American Guides (Fodor's), Wilderness Press and Countryman Press.

Her top-three favorite countries (so far, that is) are Nepal, Morocco and Cambodia, but Iceland, Namibia and Vietnam are next on her must-see life list. Back in the USA, her favorite places to hang out include California, Hawaii, Las Vegas and just about any national park. And her most memorable travel experience? Falling off a camel at the edge of the Sahara Desert.

5.0 out of 5 stars Money well spent!, December 16, 2008

This review is from: Lonely Planet Toronto (Paperback)
Like all of the "Lonely Planet" titles, this is a great overview of a place with vast amounts of information on how to enjoy the area whether you have tons of cash or very little. I enjoyed the narrative and suggestions which took me a bit "off the beaten trail" and away from many of the "purely touristy" sights.

Toronto is a huge and diverse city with so many things to do and enjoy. With help from this book, I was ready to use the subway and public transportation as well as explore areas like Korea-town, China-Town, Kensington, U of T, and the vibrant downtown withouyt spending a lot of money. This is an invaluable resource for anyone planning a trip to Toronto and if you are only going to buy one book for travel there, this is the one to get!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly helpful, July 8, 2006
This review is from: Lonely Planet Toronto (Paperback)
I recently just went on a trip to Toronto with my family. Unexpectedly, I was designated the "tour guide", so I had to come up quick with a plan to satisfy them all. I admit, the main purpose of the trip was to shop, but this guide listed a store for everyone, and was accurate and up-to-date with good maps. Not only did they list clothing stores that were typical like Le Chateau and the mall, they also listed the unusual ones like F/X and Fashion Crimes. On top of which, they listed incredibly cool stores like Suspect Video, Bakka-Phoenix Books, and--my especial favorite--Silver Snail. They even had a special section where they put all the book stores in one list for easy browsing!
My only trouble was how the maps were handled. They were broken up for a closer view, obviously, but the way they were ordered was a bit peculiar. Just pick the intersection of two streets and you'll be able to navigate with a good amount of ease.
