Land Without a Continent follows author Matt Savino on a meandering road trip from Los Angeles to Panama. Along the way, Matt discovers a world of ancient wonders and awe-inspiring natural scenery, time and again has his preconceptions shattered, and finds himself trapped on the wrong side of Nicaragua during the uprising of 2018. Matt’s adventures and foibles blend with a deep dive into the history, habitat, and exceedingly tasty food of this underestimated, misunderstood corner of the world.
