Biographie:
Based permanently in Prague, Mark has lived and worked in Central Europe for more than 20 years, first as a journalist for The Economist Group and then for Bloomberg News and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. He's a frequent visitor to Slovenia and a huge fan of Piran, Lake Bohinj and Ljubljana, among many other places. In addition to this book, Mark is co-author of the Lonely Planet guides to Prague, Romania and Poland. Paul Clammer has contributed to over 25 Lonely Planet guidebooks, and worked as a tour guide in countries from Turkey to Morocco. In a previous life he may even have been a molecular biologist. His first experience of Slovenia was a gloriously bright winter holiday, much of which was spent sitting wrapped up in pavement street cafes in Ljubljana drinking hot chocolate, and walking on the thick, frozen ice of Lake Bled. Fun, but he was still happy to research this guide in the joys of summer. Steve Fallon has been travelling to Slovenia since the early 1990s, when almost no one but the Slovenes had ever heard of the place. Never mind, it was his own private Idaho for over a decade. Though on se govori slovensko kot jamski clovek (he still speaks Slovene like a caveman), Steve considers part of his soul to be Slovenian, and returns as often as he can for a glimpse of the Julian Alps in the sun, a dribble of bucno olje (pumpkin-seed oil) and a dose of the "dual".
