If you’re ready to do some traveling after being cooped up for over a year, then this episode is for you. Today we’re talking with Matthew Kepnes who is better known as Nomadic Matt. Before he turned 23 Matt hadn’t taken a single trip overseas, but since then he’s visited over 100 countries and territories, tried some crazy foods, and made lifelong friends along the way. He’s the NYT best-selling author of “How to Travel the World on $50 a Day”, and his mission is to help would-be travelers realize that they actually can travel- and they can do it all for less money than they think it’ll take. On his site NomadicMatt.com Matt teaches folks all about affordable travel, ranging from topics like how they can save money by finding affordable flights, all the way to advice on picking out a good backpack. Listen to our conversation with Nomadic Matt to be convinced that you can afford to travel!
