LONELY PLANET PERU

I've just signed on to Lonely Planet's Peru title, to be released in 2010. It looks like I will be working with a super team of authors who live in Peru and who have all kinds of journalism, travel writing, guiding, and aid and development experience.

I'll do some posts, maybe emphasizing similarities and differences between Peru and Ecuador as I research the North Coast, Huaraz & the Cordillera Blanca, and the Northern Highlands. Derek will be birding some of the Northern Highlands with me—he'll probably have some photos up on his blog or a related site in mid-summer—but as usual, it's a lot of solo travel . . . and then a lot of solo writing.
