Tsunami Report: Ethan Gelber in Sri Lanka

Born in New York City, Ethan is a devoted sojourner (six continents well covered, often by bicycle) and co-author of Lonely Planet's Cycling in Italy. He currently lives with his fiancée in Colombo, Sri Lanka, where he devotes time to his own writing projects. He is pleased to take a break from this and assist LP with its post-tsunami reporting from the Indian Ocean as a step in rekindling much-needed travel interest in the region.
