And more big news: Lonely Planet’s gift guide has arrived to save us all from any last-minute holiday shopping trauma. We can’t all be like my mother, who, without fail, crosses off her gifting list before December 1 (you amaze me, Mom).
My favorite part is that many of these thoughtful recommendations come from our very own team of editors who put so much love and care into our books. So, whether you’re shopping for the train-obsessed or the cool kid looking for the next big destination, or if you want some pretty little stocking stuffers, know this: the travel experts have your back.
