Your ticket to life-changing travel experiences. We've brought together a massive global audience, created a suite of trip-planning products and established one of the world's most iconic and loved travel brands.

Lonely Planet's boutique travel planning company, Elsewhere by Lonely Planet, specializes in crafting one-of-a-kind itineraries the world over. Elsewhere Co-Founder, Craig Zapatka, has the enviable task of testing out new destinations – and for his most recent research trip, he and his wife headed to Guatemala. 

Our team is dedicated to traveling as much as possible – for work and for pleasure (or both in Craig's case). We hope his and the rest of our travels inspire you to get out there sooner rather than later.

Welcome to the November edition of "On the Road with Lonely Planet", our monthly email series highlighting the places our people have recently traveled, whether for work or pleasure or both. 

Our one goal: to inspire you to get out there and take the trip you’ve been wanting to.

Let's spin the globe and find out where the Lonely Planet team traveled this month.

Best in Travel 2024 is here! Inspired by our 50 years of helping people take life-changing journeys, we've hand-selected and curated the top 50 unmissable destinations to see next year: https://lnkd.in/gbE5MDsK

"Our world is not just about dreaming, it’s about doing," writes Lonely Planet Executive Editor Nitya Chambers in a letter to our global #travel community. "Our choices reflect the spirit of a grateful and energized traveler who always comes home with the best stories and who can't stop adding to the list of places they're tingling to see next."

Lonely Planet is hiring a freelance editor to help cover Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent and Oceania. For this remote role, we're preferably looking for editors who live in these destinations or have spent lots of time there.

Best in Travel is a #Webbys winner – again! We're excited and grateful to take home the Webby for Travel & Lifestyle Video Series. This is your sign to follow @lonelyplanet everywhere so you don't miss what we're cooking up next 😉

“Last year I made a pretty radical career change to come over and create content for Lonely Planet. Having the opportunity to work with such talented and amazing people on the Best in Travel series less than six months later was a dream come true, and being nominated for several The Webby Awards is an incredible honor.

To actually win? That would be the ultimate validation for me and my teammates on a project that we all worked so hard to bring to life.”
– Max Dickson, LP Video Editor

“Winning a Webby would be a tremendous honor, and not just because of the hours our staff put in trying to help people experience some of the best places in the world from their own homes.

A Webby would also honor the people who gave this series its soul: the people who live there. They graciously opened their doors, shared meals, answered countless questions and guided both our staff and viewers to places dearest to their hearts. The Webby Awards would honor them and the places they call home.”
– Melissa Yeager, LP Senior Editor

“Best In Travel 2023 gave us an opportunity to meet and feature incredible people in swoon-worthy destinations all around the world. Nova Scotia through the eyes of a cold water surfer/local business owner? Yep! Jordan's top spots courtesy of an innovative designer? Sign me up! The list goes on and on.

Winning a Webby would kudos the work of pulling this list, and the content together, sure, but it would really honor the folks in these amazing places that make them so unique and such must-visits. I guess what I'm saying is that if we win, the world wins? Pretty tough to argue with. VOTE!” – Annie Georgia Greenberg, LP Executive Creative Director
