The Wayfarer's Handbook: a Field Guide for the Independent Traveler

An inventive and visually-appealing passport to the wide world of travel, THE WAYFARER'S HANDBOOK doesn't tell you where it go, it shows you how to go everywhere.

THE WAYFARER'S HANDBOOK is an offbeat guide full of actionable advice, a worldwide exploration reference work, an unconventional collection of world trivia, and an exciting resource of inspiration, all designed for use in a great global adventure. With a design aesthetic inspired by the handsome look of vintage field guides, the book is a treasure trove of information about the act of travel itself.

Arranged in a distinctive miscellany format, the book distills hundreds of interesting topics in a direct and precise yet stylish way.
