Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
After a childhood spent stateside in the Washington DC area, mostly because of his father's unanalyzed fear of flight (which restricted family trips to small train compartments or cramped cars - both fertile territory for close-hand combat with his brother), Michael spent a year studying and traveling in Israel. His world now open to other shores and the pleasures of international flight, especially the meals (always fish or chicken, never beef), Michael continued to travel.
After college, and with a valuable philosophy degree in hand, he took a job vaguely related to developing a resort on the island of Rota in the Northern Marianas. Guam, Saipan and Tinian were not enough to ease his travel fever, so he left for a long overland trip through Asia that ended in semi-disaster - if judged by the fact that his things were being hauled around in his laundry bag when he arrived in Amman, Jordan.
An aborted attempt at graduate school was followed by an exploration of the country of his birth, the USA, driving a beat-up truck full of books. Cliches piling up like tacky roadside museums in the western part of the country, Michael decided to try his hand at the classic romantic gig, working in a fishery in Alaska, only to be told on arrival that he was too early.
He found his way to South Africa, where he investigated and wrote about political violence and other fun issues and then helped train newly elected local government officials. But, feeling the call of New York City, he went to graduate school in comparative literature, received a Masters but stopped just short of the coveted doctorate (he realized he wasn't willing to move to Kansas for a job) before teaching literature and writing as an adjunct professor at several NYC colleges.
Michael has worked on nearly 70 Lonely Planet books. His most memorable so far is easily the Myanmar book, though each experience has both added to his rich and complicated psyche and also taken years from his no longer young life.

Still great to have an analog travel guide for a family vacation

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2019

Great compilation of the best of Northern California! My husband laughed at me buying a travel guide book in the digital age. But after our trip, he really appreciated having so much summarized information and great recommendations on what to see, where to go and where to eat.

Had great suggestions for a family with young kids!

Great suggestions for how to see and do exactly what we wanted.

This guide was a terrific resource for planning our trip to see the redwood forests in Northern California, the coast, and wine country. And, it was a great guide to have handy while we were on the road. Its suggestions about what to see, how to get there, where to eat, where to stay, were invaluable.

Great for when plans change

Good overview of the basics. Especially helpful for figuring out where to go when we needed to change plans on the fly due to wildfires. Paso Robles for the win!

Has tons of trips throughout the book. You can get more information online or through other books, but this really is a great jumping off point that's filled with some memorable good trips and information.
