Paul Greenway spent one previous life working for an Australian intelligence service in Sydney, Darwin and Canberra (but he can't tell you any more). He then joined Lonely Planet, writing guidebooks to Mongolia, Iran, Botswana, Poland and Kenya, among others - as well as Bali. After realising he was too old to write for backpackers, Paul became a high school teacher in Australia, lived in Indonesia promoting educational development programs, and more recently wrote another guidebook and a photo book about his favourite island. Neglecting to get married, Paul now lives in Adelaide, South Australia, without any wives or children. He currently spends his time either writing or not writing.
