Jeff Campbell first began working for Lonely Planet's USoffice as a freelance editor in 1993. He started writing for LonelyPlanet in 2000, when he shared his vast knowledge of gambling andother sinful pursuits as a contributor to the first edition of LasVegas. Since then he has been the coordinating author forSouthwest, Zion & Bryce Canyon National Parks and USA. He isproud to note that the third edition of USA won the Society ofAmerican Travel Writers Lowell Thomas silver award for BestGuidebook in 2004.
Jeff began traveling after his sophomore year in college, when itsuddenly dawned on him he'd have to get a real job one day and sohe fled to Europe. After a year of waiting tables in London andwindsurfing in Greece, he reluctantly returned to the USA to finishhis studies in the hopes of never having to call an office cubiclehome. In this, he's been mostly successful as a freelance writerand editor, while continuing to feed his travel jones ? he'sreturned to Europe several times and made numerous treks around andacross America.
If he were forced to choose, he'd have to say his two favoriteplaces are Alaska and the Southwest desert ? landscapes don't getmuch more epic or surreal. Since 1989, Jeff has called SanFrancisco home, one that he is grateful to share with his wife,Deanna, and two children, Jackson and Miranda.
Travel tip: A great way to meet people and get the inside scoopon a new place is to eat dinner at a restaurant bar. You'llinvariably end up in conversation with your barmates and thebartender, and they'll all be eager to point you to the bestplaces.
