From river rafting between luxury camps, to harvesting vegetables for your farm-to-table dinner, to ziplining through a forest of treehouses, Comfortably Wild is an experiential travel guide like no other. Breaking the mold of big box hotels and transforming camping into a glamorous affair, North America’s one-of-a-kind retreats need their story told. Traveling over 56,000 miles between Canada and Costa Rica, authors Mike & Anne Howard have curated the best glamping destinations on the continent. Rather than being organized by style of lodging, each chapter offers a unique way to vacation, like the boutique farmstays in "Cultivate" or the wellness retreats in “Rejuvenate.” More than a collection of gorgeous accommodations, these are the transformative experiences that make glamping the ultimate style of travel.

Think outside the big-box hotels and discover North America’s most inspiring outdoor getaways. In the first travel guide of its kind, authors Mike and Anne Howard of the acclaimed blog HoneyTrek.com dive into the origins of glamping and the 21st-century craving for unconventional experiences that effortlessly connect us with nature, family, and ourselves. Each chapter of Comfortably Wild offers a unique way to vacation, like the boutique farmstays in “Cultivate,” wellness retreats in "Rejuvenate,” and action-packed journeys of “In Motion.” Alongside hundreds of gorgeous photographs and inspiring stories from the Howards’ 73,000-mile quest, this glamping book offers practical tips to find your ideal destinations and to mobilize a lifetime of unforgettable adventures.
