I have heaps of respect for LP due to their commitment to exploring outside conventional tourist experiences, which is even more admirable considering they are the most commercially successful company of their kind, and while I am not a leftie, I do think that money tends to have a corrupting influence! I started reading Where's Wallis? at my local Borders and couldn't put it down - I love your quirky and original travel concepts! Cheers, EB I should have guessed, BT! :) That is a genius idea, and guaranteed to win over a whole new market!

I started reading Where’s Wallis? at my local Borders and couldn’t put it down – I love your quirky and original travel concepts!

The modern feel of the place surprised me, but the people are still very groovy and everyone I know inside the building is committed to keeping the dream alive. I think the world is a better place for Lonely Plant having left its mark :) I remember the first time I went into the offices, I was expecting something halfway between Black Books and Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.

Plus, it's fun going into their offices - they are so cool! cheers bt Hi Epiphanie
