Product Description
Designed for travelers interested in an off-the-beaten-path trip, have limited time to plan and travel and don't want an organized tour, this Artful Nomad travelers' guidebook pops a jalapeno in the present-day notions of travel guidebook writing. Nomad author Steve Stratman narrates a 9-day route between Caye Caulker and San Ignacio Belize; Flores, Guatemala; and the ancient Mayan city of Tikal in Guatemala. He provides a day-to-day schedule with travel connections, activity and outfitter information, hotel and restaurant recommendations. He provides cultural insights and generally spouts a small, witty fountain of peculiar facts and travel-wizened observations. The artfully designed book complements his narrative with vivid photos, illustrations and city and country maps, and website links as well as a having a user-friendly layout to help you navigate the countryside on your own.

Really entertaining...

This book is a really fun read ......and well illustrated. It has plenty of locals' information but not TONS (too much) boring minutia....like so many travel guides. It is as much a travel diary as a guide. I immediately went on line to find more books by this author.....but have not been able to find others....
We have not yet taken our trip...scheduled for the end of this year....but I recommend this book for anyone even thinking of visiting the region....or armchair travelers.....
have fun!

I have been a bit hesitant to travel to Central America, though I would like to do so. With this book I feel confident that my travel will be fun and full of adventure but the headaches of planning are taken care of. I am not looking for an ordinary "group tour" type of vacation and I am excited to try travel according to The Artful Nomad! In addition to the practical info, Steve Stratman's humor, storytelling and graphics are a real bonus over other travel books.
