You will want to use a medium base WHITE mud for laying your tile. The medium base will allow you to make adjustments to level the tile and you must use white to prevent the mud from staining the tile. Keep in mind this is a natural stone. As far as the grout goes, I recommend using 3/16 to 1/8 spacers and make sure you use a sandless grout. A grout that has sand in it will scratch your tile when you float it in. Again, this is a natural stone. Do not forget to seal your tile immediately after installation and continue to do so as needed. Also, make sure you regularly clean your tile. If you spill anything clean it up immediately and do not use anything acidic as it will stain or discolor your tile. Other than that, you will enjoy your travertine for many, many years. Good Luck.
