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.

Does the world need another series of travel guides? 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.
The first of the series is out, describing a nine-day trek in Belize and Guatemala. A guide to a Costa Rica adventure will be published in December, and Guides to Bali and Northern Thailand are scheduled for 2007.
