15: Ticket 2 | Nomadic Matt, The OG Budget Traveler

To close out 2020, we welcomed award-winning author and the original budget traveler Matt Kepnes, also known as @NomadicMatt. As one of our most exciting guests yet, Matt chatted with us about his traveling start (and how it turned into 10+ years), his New York Time's best-selling novels, and his unsuspecting yet favorite travel tip for any adventurer!

Matthew Kepnes runs the award-winning budget travel site nomadicmatt.com. He's the author of the NYT best-seller How to Travel the World on $50 a Day and the travel memoir Ten Years a Nomad. His writings and advice have been featured in The New York Times, CNN, The Guardian, Lifehacker, Budget Travel, BBC, Time, and countless other publications. He's also the founder of TravelCon, North America's premier travel conference, and FLYTE, a non-profit that sends students from underserved communities on transformative trips abroad. When not traveling the world, he can be found in Austin, Texas.
