Daniel McCrohan

Daniel McCrohan is a widely-published travel writer who has written or co-written more than 40 guidebooks for both Lonely Planet and Trailblazer.

An Asia specialist, he is one of the leading experts on travel in China and India, but has also written on Mongolia, Russia, Tibet, Bangladesh, Thailand and Singapore.

Back in his homeland, Daniel is also the author of six British walking guides, each published by Trailblazer, for whom he also researched and wrote the 10th edition of Bryn Thomas' seminal guidebook, the Trans-Siberian Handbook.

Away from guides, Daniel has contributed to a number of books on world culture and travel with pieces he has written on some of China and India's distinctive art, theatre and cuisine. He has also written about Chinese tea for numerous publications.

In television, Daniel was the host of nine episodes of the Lonely Planet travel series, Best in China. He has also been interviewed (in Mandarin Chinese) about travel in China by numerous Chinese television stations.

In 2017 Daniel and his family hiked and camped their way along the entire length of Hadrian's Wall, an epic, week-long adventure that spawned the podcast 'The Showdown: Hadrian's Wall versus The Great Wall of China', which you can listen to at www.traveltape.libsyn.com.
