Nomad author Steve Stratman narrates your 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.

You don’t have to be in extraordinary shape, be profoundly rich or unusually resilient to do this trip. You just have to enjoy a hearty journey and not fall off a pyramid in the meantime.
