Tony Wheeler was born to travel. His father worked for an airline. For the first 16 years of his life, Wheeler and his family lived in many different countries.
In the early 1970s,Tony met a young woman named Maureen. They
soon married. Before getting jobs, Tony and Maureen wanted to travel. They took a year long trip from England, through Asia, to Australia. On
the trip,they visited places like Iran(伊朗),India, and so on.
When Tony and Maureen arrived in Australia, people asked many
questions about their trip. To answer these questions, Wheeler wrote a book called Across Asia on the Cheap. The book told people about different countries' weather, customs (风俗), and places to see. But unlike other travel books then,Tony Wheeler's book also talked about places most
tourists did not go. He also wrote about unusual things to see and do. The book was very popular.
