The Tranquilo Traveler
The Tranquilo Traveler is a celebration of voluntourism, slow travel, and other interesting ways to see the world. Travel writer and award- winning Moon Handbooks author Joshua Berman created The Tranquilo Travel as a resource for world trippers and international volunteers, a window to the author’s travels in Nicaragua, Belize, and beyond, and an update of his books and articles.
Moon Nails 2007 Best Travel Series of the Year
Moon was recently selected as Booklist’s Best Travel Series of the Year. I am an author for Moon. These are my books.
The judges said: “Moon guides these days have such an easy feel in the hand: they open well, and the pages are just the right size, with lots of information presented in uncrowded fashion. And the information is full but precise, evaluative but not pompous. Such good spirit arises from the pages of a Moon guide that the reader can’t help but want to board a plane and make every trip a soulful experience.”
Along with listings of things to do and places to see and restaurant and hotel recommendations, each volume in the series has a concluding section called “Background,” which performs exactly that task: imparting history, culture, current events, and other basic information the well-informed traveler needs to know.
