Biographie de Jeff Campbell
Jeff Campbell is the great-grandson of Florida pioneers who cleared the pines, mined the phosphate and paved the roads in central Florida. As a child, he remembers winter nights driving with his grandfather through the orange groves to "light the pots", searching for alligators in the local lake and riding Space Mountain the year it opened. As an adult, he's been a travel writer for Lonely Planet since 2000.
He was the coordinating author of Florida 5, as well as of Southwest USA ; Zion & Bryce Canyon National Parks ; Hawaii ; New York, Washington & Mid-Atlantic Trips ; and three editions of USA. Jennifer Denniston caught the travel bug at age nine, when her parents took the family on a 10-week trip through Europe, and has since traveled independently across five continents. She and her husband, a geology professor, spend three or four months every year road-tripping with their daughters Anna (10) and Harper (8).
They live in Iowa, where Jennifer earned her Masters degree in American Studies and taught writing at the University of Iowa. She has written for Lonely Planet for many years. Adam Karlin grew up, as so many Americans do, with grandparents in Florida, and fondly remembers many a December snowbirding in West Palm Beach. Later in lite he worked as a reporter for the Key West Citizen before being hired by Lonely Planet to cover South Florida in all her myriad weirdness.
Since then he's written or contributed to over two dozen guidebooks for the company, almost always in tropical places : the Southern USA. Caribbean. Africa and Southeast Asia. Ifs a living. Like 99% of Americans, Emily Matchar's first experience with Florida was a childhood trip to Disney World, and she's been eagerly returning to the state ever since. As a native Southerner, she has a particular affinity with the Panhandle, where, on this past trip, she ate more fried oysters than is probably recommended.
When she's not traipsing the globe. Emily lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and writes about culture, travel and food fora number of magazines and newspapers. She's contributed to more than a dozen Lonely Planet guidebooks.
