Artful Nomad Co. Names ShelliusMax "Best Person Ever"
“Assuming she is a real person,” says ANC Editor Dave Berg. Berg is referring to ShelliusMax’s recent blog on belizeforum.com, an excellent forum for info about traveling in Belize.
According to ShelliusMax (not her real name):
“Thanks Steve, the book came on Monday already. It looks fantastic! What I have read so far is very useful and your writing is also funny in places which is great. Terrific photos too. I’m really glad I ordered it.”
Shellius will retain the BPE title and accompanying notoriety until the ANC sees fit to award a new Best Person Ever at a future date.

...Rada’s descriptions are compelling, even to those of us who never will wade through snow to run a freezing-cold Class IV river roaring with spring melt. We won’t — but we can marvel about the people who do.

ARMCHAIR TRAVELER
Steve Stratman strayed off the beaten path during his exploration of Mexico and Central America. The results are chronicled, with scruffy charm, in “Belize to Guatemala and Tikal.” The book, one of the Artful Nomad Guide Series, allows the reader to follow in the footsteps of Stratman’s leisurely nine-day ramble from San Ignacio in Belize to the ancient Mayan city of Tikal in Guatemala.

Steve Stratman, of Minneapolis, thinks a segment of adventure travelers will appreciate his Artful Nomad Company Travelers’ Guide Books. The experienced traveler and graphic designer is producing the books for travelers who: want an exciting off-the-beaten-path tour, need the security of knowing where they’ll be each day and how to get there, have limited time, want independence, can’t spend months planning an adventure and like a guide that’s fun to read.
