HOW TO TRAVEL THE WORLD ON $50 A DAY

Matt Kepnes – aka Nomadic Matt – has been traveling the world continuously since 2006. On a trip to Thailand in 2005, he met a group of backpackers who showed him that you didn’t have to be tied down to the rat race. Inspired by the meeting, Matt returned home, packed his bags, and started exploring the world – and Nomadic Matt was born.
