Jon Murray Jon Murray took a year off uni a long time ago and, after various adventures, ended up working in the Lonely Planet office. He left to go cycling in Asia but found himself updating guidebooks instead. His computer lives in Melbourne, Australia, and Jon manages to visit it from time to time.
