Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania

Peter Dragicevich : After a dozen years working for newspapers and magazines in both his native New Zealand and Australia. Peter ditched the desk and hit the road. He's since contributed to literally dozens of Lonely Planet titles, including the previous edition of this book, Scandinavian Europe and five successive editions of the Eastern Europe guidebook. He rates Tallinn as one of his favourite European cities.
Peter also contributed the Plan section to this book. Hugh McNaughtan : A former English lecturer, Hugh decided visa applications beat grant applications, and turned his love of travel into a full-time thing. Having also done a bit of restaurant reviewing in his home town (Melbourne), he's now eaten his way across Europe. and found the best way to work up an appetite for Lithuania's great, gut-busting food is spending all day cycling in its stunning forests.
He's never happier than when on the road with his two daughters. Except perhaps on the cricket field... Leonid Ragozin : Leonid studied beach dynamics at the Moscow State University, but for want of decent beaches in Russia. he switched to journalism and spent 12 years voyaging through different parts of the BBC, with a break fora four-year stint as a foreign correspondent for the Russian Newsweek.
Leonid is currently a freelance journalist focusing largely on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine (both his Lonely Planet destinations). which prompted him to leave Moscow and find a new home in Riga. The latter turned writing this book into a literally life-changing experience.
