Monk is two men -- Jim Crotty and Michael Lane -- who quit their jobs, sold everything they owned, and hit the road in their Monkmobile, a 26-foot Fleetwood Bounder motorhome, publishing the world's only mobile magazine and reporting on the incredible people, places, and parking lots they encountered along the way.

Now, the Monks have brought their unique perspective to the guidebook world. The Monks' Guides are passports for the hip new nomad, with an insightful new take on traditional sights and a whole host of funky, offbeat sights, adventures, and recommendations that are a breath of fresh air. They're unique. Arrogant. Funny. Fresh. Bold. Entertaining. Cutting edge. They're Alternative Travel -- a, whole new definition of guidebook.

After exploring the funkiest sights and sounds of L.A. and San Francisco, follow the Monks on a memorable road trip around the state.
