Rough Guides are written by expert authors who are passionate about both writing and travel. They have detailed knowledge of the areas they write about--having either traveled extensively or lived there--and their expertise shines through on every page. It's priceless information, delivered with wit and insight, providing the down-to-earth, honest read that is the hallmark of Rough Guides. Beth Williams is a travel writer and editor for Rough Guides. She has lived in the USA and Germany, before coming home to East London. Her adventures have taken her to Southeast Asia, USA and through much of continental Europe. She likes seeking out new dishes she hasn't tried before and is a firm believer that you can tell a lot about a country from its local food market. Joanna Reeves is a Sussex-based travel writer and editor who has updated several UK-based and European Rough Guides, including parts of the Rough Guides to England and Great Britain, Pocket Rough Guide Reykjavik and Rough Guide Minis Bologna and Riga. She is also the editor of the brand-new Rough Guide to Slow Travel in Europe. Kate Drynan is a regular contributor to Rough Guides. She has lived, worked and studied all over the world, including France, Spain, Belgium, England and Dubai. An Irish national, she now resides in her home country and is always happiest when out exploring new places and expanding her knowledge.
